I love my noise-cancelling headphones
Sometimes I put them on without any music and it's all I need.
Some other days/tasks I need to shake things a bit so I go to some more aggressive stuff.
Pure Pop and Rock are usually only used to create a low volume background environment (with the headphones).
I've also read somewhere that music and coding stimulate the same part of the brain, which causes concurrent access. As our brain is not shaped to do multiple things at a time, this can be a problem.
I honestly feel it especially when I like the music... it easily gets me distracted from the task.

One day I listen to electronic (dance, trap, chill out, trap, trip hop, drum 'n' bass, trance, dubstep...), the other to metal (black, death, doom, heavy, thrash, goth, stoner), yet another to classical (medieval, baroque, classical, romantic, modern) or pop (just about anything) and probably I listen to all of them on a single day...
I also listen to music almost the entire day (dancing and cooking at the same time isn't recommended).
Whatever fits my mood! And this survey doesn't even begin to describe my moods
Voted "other".

That includes doing:
- Documentation
- Testing
- Reviewing (the easy type)
- Tedious work (which ever work is the mensioned)
OR
whenever working without music is more distracting than working with music... e.g. when people are doing renovasions right outside my office.
When it comes to development, I try to have no distractions.

It depends on how simple/complex the code. Complex or new to me -nothing. 'Bulk' code or simple debugging, Rock, Classical, Country, Filk. Depends on my mood.

Started listening to The Smiths back when I was using Turbo Pascal, why stop now?

Are you still coding in Turbo Pascal? All things need upgrades.
