Oh no - for me it has to be something with enough in it to actually occupy parts of my mind.

Examples

Mozart - just about anything
Greig - Peer Gynt really does well

Molly Hatchet works, as does any good southern rock

If I am researching, then something like 'Hell freezes over' is a nice background.

If I'm doing code then Def Leppard, AC/DC, Avril Lavigne, Joe Cocker, Small faces ... you get the idea ;)

At the last company I had a sign for such times - 'I am not deaf, I am ignoring you'
