Productive Music
I find myself attempting to be productive on occasion. When this happens, I need some music to filter out the audible distractions usually found in my office, or at the hallway chalkboards, or even in my room. It helps if the music has a trance-like ability to blend into the background of my mind. Bands like Radiohead and Travis are good for this, since the vocalist is really acting like another instrument. I'm not distracted by words and phrases being pushed into my thoughts like I would listening to a more lyrical group, such as Taking Back Sunday or Incubus.
What music do you listen to to be productive?

lately: the symphonies and concertos of dmitri shostakovich, gregorian chant, any sort of orchestral music.... i generally need there to be no lyrics or i get distracted.
I really like to listen to soundtracks--Dances with Wolves is just great and classic, and lately I've really like The Lives of Others soundtrack. Lyrics literally make me sing, which is bad for my productivity (and that of others).
