This is an interesting one. I've always listened to music throughout the majority of the day. However I've noticed recently that for certain programming tasks (anything that requires serious thought or I haven't done before) I work much better with silence. However when doing stuff I've done before (CRUD apps, writing boilerplate code necessary before the fun stuff) I am more productive with up beat music.
