Today I'm listening to Merle Haggard. RIP, Merle.

I like to hear what the time to become more productive. But usually I hear: EDM, Rock, classic music and others.
But never in silence.

It varies but today it's mid-50s doo-wop...Frankie Lymon, Jarmels, Moonglows, Cadillacs, some of the best street corner harmony ever recorded. Fast rhythm Speedo to wake you up, followed by slow ballad Sincerely to mellow out.
And those lyrics...Rama-lama-ding-dong, sh-boom sh-boom
Other days it's jump bands (Louis Jordan) or swing (Benny, Artie and Glenn). And every few months I take in an opera (Wagner and Bizet).

For me, Bach is best for getting into "flow" state when coding.

Van Morrison, Neil Young, the Doobie Brothers, Beatles, Led Zepplin, the Kinks and the WHO

that is along train ruuning after the gold rush, which really got me going to let it be! Needless to say I can hear for miles, but it is there a stairway to heaven, for the brown eyed Girl?

What band did you play in? Mine was Robin and the Rockets. guitar (me), Girl singer (Robin), Bass player (Franklin), and my dell laptop and hundreds of midi sequences to drive the Sound Canvas. By the way we dill all of those tunes except Stairway... I could not ever get the best guitar solo ever done down.

I do not play music, although I did write a song with a buddy once, it was the lyrically like NIN to a folky Bob Dylan acoustic sound! If I was to do anything in music i would be more like Bernie Taupin!

Music.
Almost every programmer in our company has headphones on most of the time. That way everyone listens to what they like without annoying everyone else around them.

I prefer silence while coding and Godsmack while debugging.

Depends. Sometimes music, other times silence (which I rarely get in the office!). Whoever said open plan offices produce better results wasn't a developer. I say that knowing some developers like the "collaboration" the open plan engenders. I, however, am not of that belief.

An open Plan is best for the Bar, I like my privacy, and in seclusion I work better!

Mostly classic music .Everything that has vocals gets me distracted.

My son got a playmobil pirateship for his birthday from his classmates.
In the manual it says:
"WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD"
"Small parts. Not for children under 3 years."
Below the warning it says:
"Ne concerne que les USA"[1]
This made me chuckle a bit, but raises so many questions at the same time. 
[1]translation : Only concerns the USA

What's concern is that we want children to play as pirates.
In the future will they sell terrorist play set? Maybe Brussels play set with spring loaded exploder

I assume you meant that as a joke, but personally I'm not that amused by it.

It's not funny. Pirates are glorified for some inexplicable reason by Hollywood and apparently even by Disney. When I was a kid, being called a pirate was an insult[^].

Oh, the good old days! Nowadays, at least here in Sweden, they have edited the new releases of Tintin and taken out Captain Haddocks swearing. It's not PC enough here...

Did you know pirates wore eye patches so they could see in the dark?
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Er .. I think you'll find it's a little more nuanced than that!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Not that much - they wore them over a "healthy" eye. So when they swapped from outside to in, they swapped eyes with the patch and could still see well.
IIRC Mythbusters tried it.
That they did, matey! : mythbusters pirate special- 8 - YouTube[^]
