My taste includes prog rock, jazz, blues, Gregorian chant, Bach, Brahms, Beethoven, Handel, Mendelssohn, Rimsky-Korsakov, Shostakovitch (and other Russians of the late 19th and early 20th centuries), Aaron Copland, Stan Rogers, the Chieftans, and never anything country & western. My
currently favoured artists include (in no particular order): early Genesis, and any Peter Gabriel, YES, ELP,
FM and of course
Nash the Slash, Rush, King Crimson, Art of Noise, Jethro Tull, Steve Ray Vaughan, Steve Vai, Jean-Luc Ponty, Weather Report, UZEB, Mahavishnu Orchestra, and any good solid "wall of sound" big band, along the lines of the Boss Brass.
For me at least, music is not an option, it is a fundamental part of being human, and one of the biggest personal productivity problems of an office is the lack of music. I can't say that some type of music is better than another for a given task, as it simply depends on my mood at the time, and whether I want to retain and reinforce that mood, or change it - the right music at the right time can work wonders.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
