One other option:
depends
For me, it depends on what I'm coding. I'm working on a game, I usually will listen to Techo, but if I'm coding my latest and greated windows utility, it's usually Enya... So don't make it an all or nothing option...
Programming in binary is as easy as 01 10 11.

I also missed blue grass and the rest that others have filled in 
I don't think John would appreciate me lumping "old" country and blue grass with "new" country

And also;
1. Nose flute music - yes, it exists!
2. Broadway / Music Hall
3. Folk
4. Country (NOT at all the same as folk even though people lump them together)
5. Neo-classical / modern
6. Filmic
I'm sure there are WAY too many for a poll. but I would say the broader categories would be;
Art music (instrumental or vocal)
Folk music (instrumental or vocal)
Rock - classic
Rock - contempory
Popular / "electro-pop"
Music hall / filmic
Jazz / big band
Blues
Film
Hip-hop, R&B
Metal
Easy listening / chillout
"Classical" music is technically stuff written between ~1750 - 1800 yet people use this label for anything vaguely classical-sounding, although the correct terms are medieval (pre 1600), baroque (1600-1750) inc both early baroque and late baroque, classical (1750 - 1800 I think), romantic (1800-1900), and modern (post 1900). By referring to this under the label art music you get around all that mess AND include operatic works, songs, orchestral works, and sonatas in the same bag.
An opera is a bit like a musical except the music is in a specific style, and interestingly all composers wrote their operas using the same story for years; the story was that of the girl who got taken to the underworld and this guy tried to save her but he wasn't allowed to look back as he walked out of hell, of course he did look back and lost her forever.
Thus endeth the lesson  .

I don't listen to all of those, though there is a fair share in there that I have listened to at one point in time

Its not often I hear that Most people don't like them because they stole the grammy for Heavy Metal from Metallica, even though I wouldn't call any of their music Heavy Metal :-P
Mazdak wrote:

The rest of the album is pretty good too, I found myself listening to Heavy Horses (the album and the song) quite a bit lately.
If you can find it get "The Very Best Of" it has a lot of good songs on it, even some that I didn't like before but I do now after I listened to them recently.

I said stole because thats what others think
I'm a fan of both as well, but I think I would go to a Jethro Tull concert before I go to a Metallica one; oh wait I did that already [July 19, 2001 -- Commonground Festival] Guess I have to go to a Metallica concert now.

Who ever thinks JT stole that grammy are just idiots. JT jokes about that stupid grammy all the time. They think it is as big of a joke as everyone else.
As usually, the grammies just don't have a clue.

I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

Chris we can modify the question to :-
"What do you do alongside programming?"
and the multiple choice check-box answers can be :-
[people may tick more than once check-box]
(1) Listen to music [mp3]
(2) Post on the Lounge
(3) Browse through porn sites
(4) Chat on an IM [sonork/icq]
(5) Eat & drink [chips/coke etc.]
(6) Smoke
(7) Play desktop games [eg:- miniputt/invasion/RaceX]
(8) Read a magazine [paper mag not e-mag]
Nish
Bow wow wow,
Yippee yo yippee yay,
My miniputt high,
Is now 30 yay.

(9) Annoy coworkers
(10) Programming? Whoa, wrong site.

Chris, please could we (Christian, David W, myself and a bunch of others) have an XML/XSL forum?
I know CP is a MS tech site but seeing as XML is such a core component now of everything MS does, I don't think it would dilute the MS tech talk.
Also there is an XML/XSL Article section, so a forum is logical, right Spock?
Otherwise Christian will keep ruining the Lounge by posting XML/XSL questions, won't you Christian?

Chris,
I think you should give in here. I do not totally agree with Pauls comparison with the Article section given that it is basically MS implementation that address XML. But we love coming here vs the other sites. I think many should go look to the others sites such as TopXML and XMLPitstop and many will not, but that is the price you pay for having a forum structure people like.
