Ah, Bach ...
If you want to "pimp it up" a bit, I'd suggest Wendy Carlos "Switched on Bach". There seems to be a terrible YouTube video labeled "Switched on Bach (midi)", which should be avoided. Instead try the sample here: Switched-On Bach - Wikipedia

Yes. Although if you'd asked where it came from, I couldn't tell you. Thanks for reminding me.

To quote Captain America, "I got that reference."
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

When you're done be sure to Bach up your work.
If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it again?

Thanks for sharing.

I usually find myself with a heavier thumper, I might actually be able to stick with this thru the whole.

Yes, this is extraordinary quality, but  ... my brain seems not comfortable with any kind of distraction while coding, reading, writing, ... In my case, the best option is complete silence in my work environment . However, while driving or taking a break, I can appreciate some good tracks, including classics like Bach ...

While programming (and almost constantly) I listen to instruMENTAL jazz -- no words or I skip the track.
I have a paid pandora account (no commercials) that plays all manner of smooth jazz like:
I think jazz musicians are innovative and amazing.
Spyro Gyra
Euge Groove
3rd Force
Fattburger
Kim Waters
The Rippingtons
Peter White
Jeff Lorber
Fourplay
Chris Standring
Ray Obiedo
Dave Koz
Candy Dulfer
Rick Braun
Ronny Jordan
Acoustic Alchemy
Larry Carlton
Paul Hardcastle
and many, many more.
I started listening to Spyro Gyra suggested to me by a college room-mate in 1985 and was hooked. If you listen to that original album from Spyro Gyra Catching the Sun[^], you'll probably be convinced to listen too. 
and, I've tried classical music and I love some good classical, but the dynamics are so immense that at times you can't hear it and then other times it's cannons going off so I stick with jazz.

Agree with most of your list. I have a couple of Spyro Gyra tapes around here somewhere. No player now, why do I keep them?
Alas, music and hearing aids are not friends.
Saw Dave Brubeck in person many (many) years ago.
Close friend, who was with us, knew the bass player (Jack Six), had played with him in a big band back in the day.
Met Jack the next day, interesting guy.
All gone now. Thanks for the list.

It’s weird being the same age as old people. Live every day like it is your last; one day, it will be.

Jazz, mostly big bands from the 50's and 60's.
But anything without lyrics, works to get me into the zone.

As I now wok from home I don't need music as it is quiet, however when I was in the office I would listen to J.S. Bach's Well Tempered Clavier or the Goldberg Variations.
In the car I will listen to Bach's choral pieces, but anything with singing tends to distract me rather than help concentrate - even if it is in German or Latin.

Lots of classical music and jazz here.
I would listen to Motorpsycho, Magma or Dream Theater.

It's rare these days that I listen to music while coding...too many interruptions. Friday afternoon was an exception though as I've had siding being installed for two weeks now. The hammers were banging away above my head and I needed something to drown them out so I cranked up Dream Theater's 'Systematic Chaos', one of their darker/heavier albums from 2007. That was followed by one of their more recent (and hugely underrated) concept albums, 'The Astonishing'. I won't put links. If people don't know who they are already, it's probably not their cup of tea.
At any rate, I got in almost 3 hours of uninterrupted listening/coding and got over a major hurdle on a newish project. I was able to complete the week's task with 2 hours to spare.
At the moment, I'm listening to the sounds of silence abstracting the complexities of a customer request to enable invoicing at another level.

I used to code while listening to (and singing with where possible) classical, oratorios, and opera. Most anything from 1100 AD to 1920 AD. I love Wagnerian opera and many times would spend the day going through the Ring cycle while coding. Messiah, Elijah, and Beethoven's 9th, other choral music were must haves. These days with constant Teams meetings and family interruptions while working from home I no longer find the ability to flow in the music. I believe it helps, but needs must.

J. S. Bach music has always accompanied me since I was in school. Now as a seasoned programmer I cannot live without baroque music.

Me, I'm more 70's fusion when I code
Weather Report, Return To Forever, Jaco Pastorius, Al Dimeola, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Stanley Clark, Billy Cobham, Wayne Shorter, and oddly, the decidedly non-fusion Motorhead.

I'd love to have the ability, but I get distracted by music. It hinders, it doesn't help, my thought process.
The only time I'll listen to music while coding is when I'm writing the sort of boilerplate code I've written a million times before, and don't need to make any sort of intellectual effort.
But then, if I've written the same sort of code a million times before, I've probably wrapped it in some library and no longer need to do it. So the occasion rarely presents itself anymore.

I code in silence and debug to Godsmack.

When winter stops and summer begins I switch from learning to code
to making things with my woodworking power tools track saw and table saw
I have never been good at listening to music and enjoying it
IF I AM FOCUSED on another task
Any way the debate comes up when ever a Woodworking YouTube channel
has a promotional sponsor for hearing protection head phones with Blue Tooth
here are some interesting facts from one respected YouTuber
Can you focus on work while music is playing? - YouTube[^]
The most relatable occupation that are avid listeners to music while working
are the Surgeons I have know many and the one who did reconstruction surgery on me
I have worked in 5 different states and hospitals
and had reconstructive surgery at UH Cleveland Medical Center
10 hours under the knife
Most times the music does not start till you are under anesthesia
