I enjoy some of almost every genre of music (except rap and extreme heavy metal), but I've found that the music most conducive to thinking and working for me is either classical or Gregorian Chants.

My dad used to play the 5th Symphony whenever he was drinking heavily, so I shy away from him. But I have always loved Bach, Vivaldi and the music of the Baroque period. Over the years I have stopped listening to it.
