I have to listen to music while coding, and for any other task. I have to have some sort of noise (be it white or otherwise).

My musical tastes lie in the Genres of metal, punk and rock music, and some of the sub genres of those. I suppose you could file everything under "Alternative".

As well as the "traditional" alternative, i.e. Sex pistols, Siouxsie Sioux and the Banshees, The Clash, The Smiths, etc. I like some (not all of their songs though) from the following:

Muse, Ozzy Osbourne, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day (Early stuff, not their Warning teen-poppy angst rubbish), Nirvana, Placebo, Deftones, Korn, Gary Numan, Rammstein, Incubus, Silverchair, Hole, Idlewild, Foo Fighters, Ash, Offspring, Nine Inch Nails, Filter, and Kittie.

And the soundtrack song to my life - Inkubbus Sukkubus' cover of the Stones song Paint It Black.
