I do listen to music while i work, mainly:

Machinehead (I like the new Album most - The Blackening)

In Flames (Some of them are really inspiring and have a really cool feeling i.e. Acoustic Medley of the Jester Race Album)

System Of A Down (Also some really cool songs, but i like the older Albums more - SOAD, Toxicity, StA)

Tenacious D (This band just rocks, the lyrics are Awesome)

Amon Amarth (This band has the name of a Mountainside in Middle Earth)

and many Game Soundtracks most of them are of Jeremy Soule (Like the Oblivion Title Track most and also the whole soundtrack of this game)

I listen to music no matter what Im doing. If I can get away with having music on, or my iPod on I do it, including at work (I work as an engineer by the way, not an artist ). If I did happen to work as an artist there would be no doubt that Id listen to music. In fact more so as it helps me get into the flow of things.

Things Ive been mostly listening to recently (I also only really listen to whole albums so these arent songs)

Nine inch nails - With teeth
Audioslave - Audioslave
Oceansize - All albums
65daysofstatic - Fall of Math (This one is particularily good for inspiration and stuff. Hurray for heavy dance music)
Tool/perfect circle - All albums
Al Di Meola - Kiss my Axe (for something a bit lighter)

Erm. There are loads more.

I also used to listen to Pandora a lot ... but its not available in the UK anymore

Usually I prefer more chilled out stuff while working.

It varies quite a lot, usually swinging wildly between chillout, blues, reggae and electronic stuff.

I won't list it all here but Talon’s Music Profile – Users at Last.fm this is what I listen to.

The usual stuff I like to listen to is OST's from the likes of Halo and Mass Effect. I really don’t listen to a lot of what you might call normal music. I will get the odd song from I-Tunes but that’s it really.

The whole list includes:
Halo 2 V1
Halo 2 V2
Halo 3
Mass Effect
Bio Shock
Frontlines
Alone in the Dark 5
and a few others.

I really want the intro song for the new battlefield, it just rocks. (edit: just found it )

O lets not forget podcasts too: 1UP Yours FTW.

Pandora Radio for me. You give the little sucker a song or artist you like and it whips together a streaming internet radio for you. Gives you the opinion to rate the songs that pop up with a thumbs up or thumbs down to further refine the station.

Link to Pandora: Pandora Radio - Listen to Free Internet Radio, Find New Music

Artists:
Modest Mouse
Wolf Parade
The Faint
Blur
Animal Collective
Alkaline Trio
Bloc Party
Death from Above
Clinic
Snowden

Check out Last.fm – The Social Music Revolution. It does the same thing (and was doing it first) but it also records what you listen to from your own MP3 collections and can recommend artists to you based on other people's listening tastes who are similar to your own.

I usually don't like listening to music while working, unless I am doing something mundane or if the music is relaxing and possibly has no vocals (like classical music). I find it distracting sometimes.

Anyway I wanted to reply to this thread because my music is considerably different than most on here.

I'll just list some:

Apoptygma Berzerk
Joachim Witt (my favorite!)
Rammstein
Ace of Base
ASP
Blackmore's Night
E Nomine
Metallica
Flaco
Hammerfall
Lube
OOMPH!
Ozzy
Pantera
Sisters of Mercy
Tool
David Bowie
Disturbed
Micheal Jackson (that's right)
NIN
Led Zepplin
Cinderella

...And many more!
