I would think that instrumental is a bit more conducive rather than music with lyrics which could be distracting. Yes? No?

Absolutely. Explosions in the Sky and Monkey3 are favourites of mine for coding.

It's also easier to deal with lyrics in foreign languages, simply because my mind can't latch on to what's being said: Sigur Ros (an Icelandic band) are also on the coding playlist.

Oh man. I forgot about Sigur Ros. I know I have at least one of their albums.
