I mostly listen to electronic/ambient music, makes it easier for me to get in the 'zone'... Here's some stuff I listen to:
Prins Thomas B2B Gerd Janson Boiler Room
Post your playlists.
I really love the focus playlists from Spotify, mostly To Do List for when I need to get into the zone and deep focus to support my creativity.

Does anyone else ever turn on the tv for white noise while you work? Seems to be my go to whenever I work from home.
most of the time electornic music
I have a few lists that I turn to when I really need to focus (Spotify only):
Other than that, I listen to minimal techno mostly if I'm working:
And the rest depends on my mood: Heavy metal, drum n bass, indie, 60s/70s stuff and the occassional math rock/pop to make things confusing, haha.
Oh and noisli.com for some nice background noise :)
Dubstep & Hardstyle <3 It makes me feel so electronic ;)

Usually IDM/Breakcore or various other flavours of electronic music.
Recently I've been addicted to an awesome album built on sounds from GameBoy circuit-bending: Deidream:AM
I've always found a lot of stuff released by Planet Mu (Venetian Snares, Joseph Nothing, Boxcutter, Luke Vibert) to be good for programming sessions.
Also, Portico Quartet are amazing for some rhythmic steel drum (handpan) claronet craziness.
