I haven't just listened to music in a long time, but I do like 80s synth pop and metal.
And before the local jazz station switched formats, I used to listen to that
from time to time. I also like classic rock but am starting to get a bit sick of it.
I like newer stuff, but I wish someone would shoot the guy that invented Autotune.

I like listening to depressing songs like such... Though what do you mean by "working".. Working on computers as in assembling\changing\repairing things hardware wise or actually doing software programming or some sort of design art\modeling\whatever?

Internet radios: http://www.rockradio1.com or https://www.radionomy.com/en/radio/commodexplorer/index#

@snorg Lol I quite agree the auto tune crap is annoying but I also can't stand any of this modern pop at all. Most of the rest of the time I just listen to 60's psych bands like Strawberry Alarmclock or 60's smooth jazz like Dexter Gordon or Grant Green.

Anything really. I mean I usually listen to Vangelis when I'm balancing my checkbook in excel so I guess I meant any computer "work". 🤣
Seriously though I was more talking testing equipment and working on your retro systems. 😜

Well I have a retro system playing back tracker music constantly in my family's house while I experiment with MS-DOS 6.22 in VBox. I have a bit of a obsession of wanting to use the original trackers (whenever feasible) when playing back modules.

My Internet provider (iinet) has unmetered (we still have download limits during the day and off peak) radio stations. I like to listen to chill out radio stations such as Space Station Soma.

I usually listen to good old rock when I work on electronics. Currently listening to Baby Boomerang by T. Rex.

I don't know, some modern stuff is ok but I can't think of anything offhand so maybe I've contradicted
myself.

Oh wait...I do like Leroux a bit and St. Vincent is pretty good also.
Not an artist I thought I'd like but grew on me.

I also like Joe Satriani, his guitar instrumentals are amazing.

Well, various stuff.

Right now I'm listening to Musick to Play in the Dark, Vol. 1 by Coil.

ATM the only one I can recall distinctly listening to is the whole soundtrack to Flashdance while working on my 486 back when I had a tape deck hooked up to serve as my bedroom music player...

Sort of off-topic, but is that Nivek Ogre in your avatar? It looks like one of the getups he uses when performing live.

But anyway, If I am listening to anything, I usually just listen to whatever it is I'm into at the time. I find industrial and other electronic genres to be well suited to it, however. Particularly, I like 80s and early 90s EBM.

Chiptunes, tracker music, MIDI music (mostly from games).

Right now I'm listening to my YM tunes collection. Very nice 😀

I prefer the music of silence. Even when I'm gaming, if there is an option to turn off the sound, in most cases I will use it (unless it's a game with really cool sounds like the many fabulous quotes from the Duke Nukem games). 🤣

Yes, it's from the Ain't It Dead Yet? video. 😀

Metal, Rock, Tracker Music and 80's synth mostly. I also like trance and techno occasionally, I have Paul Oakenfold's entire discography on my HDD.

I'm a big fan of Com Truise, he has released 7 compilations for free, called Komputer Cast, which is basically music compiled and best used when doing programming 😀.

What are your favourite modules? I downloaded some from modarchive, but it's usually hit and miss. What sound equipment do you use for playback? Is it Sound Blaster or Covox?

I usually just turn the radio on to a rock station while working on hardware (e.g. building a machine, cleaning a machine, etc), but when actually using a system I'll either do net radio/streaming of whatever or listen to my library of traditional pop, rock, and assorted electronica (mostly depending on which computer I'm at - I don't have the entire library on my laptop, for example). Alternately I'll have the TV on in the background. 😊

Yeah I like the whole Retrowave / Outrun genre too although I must say Com Truise never did it for me. Personally I like Sellorekt / LA Dreams or Droid Bishop when it comes to that genre.
