Darude — Sandstorm

I wonder, does a human is multi tasking? Actually before I tried to "think the logic" while listening to music. But I could not concentrate well.

Daft punk

Fairytale of Yesterday (Darius and Finlay Club Mix)

It's not good at first but become good at minute 2:00

Katy Perry — Firework (Have you seen The Interview?)

Nanahira! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToqeQuZHa3s

Radiohead at the background makes perfect. I can listen to the cycled Reckoner song for hours while training. However, I prefer competing in silence.

I listen to marasy8. The fast piano melody makes me type faster.

Dubstep

Naseer Shamma makes it perfect with the lute.

Once I tried listening to hos.lyric's playlist (which I saw in his GCJ screencast) while coding. It worked better than expected.

Experience — Ludovico Einaudi

Opeth

Anything with lyrics that i can ignore. So pure instrumental (Jelonek or Lindsey Stirling are really nice) or something like Infected Mushroom with repetitive and distorted lyrics is fine for me. Silence is fine too, ofc.

Classical, epic, Daft Punk and Salam.

I listen to the music of my keyboard

Heavy-metal and hard-rock musics almost.

Russian emo-post-rock group "Рука Нергала"

My favourite channel while working & relaxing: youtube link.

Hey — https://www.scenemusic.net/demovibes/

Actually, I've never coded while listening to music, but I think it's something worth trying out.

Anyway, when I do it, as much as I'd like hearing some anime songs or Castlevania music, it will surely be something more quiet and instrumental, like Secret Garden, some movies OST's or classical music.

Yanka Dyagileva (link1, link2). As you can see, I'm not very at good contests.

my own trance mix

I don't always listen to music while coding, but sometimes I feel like listening to something soothing. In times like that I simply go to youtube and type "epic xyz", where xyz is an instrument name.

Most of the time I listen to "epic piano" or "epic violin". I tend to simply start a mix video of length 2 hours or more. So that I don't have to continuously shuffle the music myself.

Here is an example:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hJZ2xEixrg

I listen to this:

I love Mozart Symphony #40 :).

In Motion — Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (The Social Network)

my playlist

Men, seriously, isn't music distracting you? I listen to music pretty often, but it definitely has negative influence on my concentration when doing contests. Paying attention to smallest details is very important in CP and when listening music part of concentration goes to humming melody in your head/lipsyncing lyrics :P.

I usually listen to Radio on Google Music (before it was Rdio). It creates playlist based on my music preferences (previously listened songs that I've chosen) and I'm pretty happy with it. My playlist usually consists of alternative rock/metalcore bands like Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamin, Bullet for My Valentine, Three Days Grace, 3 Doors Down, Papa Roach, Lostprophets, Fall Out Boy, Staind, Rise Against, Shinedown and similar.

"clubbed to death" from the Matrix http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFS4zYWxzNA

Any kind of music as long as it is at zero volume.

MAROON 5

Something relaxing, like Deuter or Liquid Mind

"The best of Mozart" from youtube

WHAT DOES THE FOX SAYS?!

Perfect silence is the best. But when I can't get it, I listen to one of these in a loop:

Mac lethal — Pale kid raps fast.
It makes me wanna type fast :))

Sexy and I know it — LMFAO

Russian folklore

Silence

Rmadan Al-Prince "Egyption Singer" :'D

Fullmetal Alchemist Opening Again

Pink Floyd

The End.

I really love progressive house. Avicii, David Guetta, Hardwell, Martin Garrix, Dmitry Vegas, Like Mike, etc. What do you think about them?

Death metal Black metal thrash metal and more metal. During an actual competition I take off the music so I can focus more; but beforehand I always blast a good track to get hyped.

Back in Black — AC DC

It's time to add new recommendations here..

Right before contest I like to listen to Oreja de van Gogh — something like this.

and Linkin Park, like this.

But not during contest. During contest I prefer drilling sounds.

Hey I know that there a lot of cool songs out there like Darude-Sandstorm and Firework but honestly , I love coding listening to the Pokemon theme song (no kidding) . The lyrics are great . "I wanna be the very best ... that no one ever was ...."

Heart is still a kid imo :)

Maroon 5 ! Metallica! Adele!

Alex7

I really, really like music...

But I must admit that when I listened to the music, it caught my attention a lot, hence I was less focus at coding and prefer not to listen anything then, :(

Anyway, OST Theme of One Punch Man "Seigi Shikkou" is a best confidence-boosting song for me and I really recommend it to be listened while coding :)

Anyone who likes rap?

Arctic Monkeys(all songs)

Old psychedelic & jazz. It helps to distract, if solution of the problem has reached a deadlock

Everything is Awesome

Especially for me, I like listening to Queen or something similar.

Slim Shady.

Unless I'm participating in a contest.

Rednex, Amaranthe, Bon Jovi, Doro, Guano Apes, Scorpions, The Offspring, Ария, Пилот, Приключения электроников, Disturbed, Evanescence, Rammstein, Godsmack, Korpiklaani, Metallica, Quake 2 soundtrack, Within Temptation, and others.
