Thrash metal for me, no idea why it works for me but it does. Oddly enough I'm not really a fan of it while I'm not working.

I use all songs available on Spotify by In Flames. It's mostly melodic and rhythmic, usually upbeat, and the vocals and the higher spectrum percussion drown out ambient discussions without being very thought-provoking in themselves.
Same here! Dark tranquility and Omnium Gatherum works great for me as well!
Listening to New World Shadows right now
Hello there metal fans, I enjoy tuning in people's MDM broadcasts on Grooveshark. With suggestions its a nice mix of background music you don't have to manage and occasional song that you would like to hear.
Great stuff!
Yes yes! I'm a fan of Metallica but I can only listen Kill'em'All while programming. Either that or repetitive ambient/instrumental/chill-out without vocals.
Kill 'Em All works well for me too. I know all the other songs far too well to not listen to them and try to sing along in my head.
