I'm all over the place. A lot of video game music (some favorites are from the Final Fantasy series, The Talos Principle, and Celeste), Jewel, Metallica, Queen, Weezer, Celtic Women, DragonForce, and a variety of others from different rock genres, Celtic, folk, 80s and 90s pop, etc.
I oscillate between straight tech house (artists like Format:B, Pleasurekraft, Claude VonStroke, Carl Cox, etc.) and hip-hop (Anderson .Paak, Wu-Tang, Nas, Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar, etc.)
The former gets me in the zone and the latter makes me feel badass I guess.
I also like lo-fi and downtempo music for some moods.

I usually just have EDM streaming. Depending on the day, might have trap, riddim, hardstlye or electro going β though some days I select more mellow stuff. Something about the jabbering of angry robots that goes with writing infrastructure automation (or troubleshooting).
John Williams Movie Music!!! My husband and I are huge John Williams fans. So much so that I walked down the aisle when I got married to the Jurassic Park Theme song π
I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
Lately, I've been listening to my playlist of ABBA and ABBA covers (Cher, Mamma Mia, metal bands like At Vance). It's super easy to get into a zone and pound out work when listening to upbeat disco music.

It's not a specific song but rather some kind of artists:
Youtube also has great playlists:
Power metal! \m/
Almost exclusively power metal, with some adjacent genres and Dan Bull (I don't like rap, just Dan Bull)

Haha, that's awesome!!
I was totally jamming out to the soundtrack for Hook around Christmas:
I highly recommend it. Nothing like a healthy dose of nostalgia. π
(Would recommend skipping 2:12 - 3:17, but the rest is awesome!)
