Have to disagree, I like the Michale Tait stuff better.

Man, I love a good Traffic jam.
Hmm, yeah and the beat goes on, drone-drone like a metronome.
Minimal techno and some ambient music.

Quiet?... should be raga minimal dubstep
Totally depends on my mood. I didn't drink any alcohol in 15 days and started going to gym.
Rachmaninoff (esp. 2 & 3), Beethoven, some Pink Floyd, sometimes a little deep house.

Some people secretly pray over the board to get an unfair advantage. You should always play Black Metal to counter this.

I love Rachmaninoff's second and third concertos.

Djazbin, I like 'Moon Song Psybient' and 'NEW Psychill Distant Dreams,' both fairly mellow for planning chess strategy.
Played a mini-tournament with three other people and the host played an old jazz album by Miles Davis. Lucky I tried not to hear it because the guitar was very annoying, not loud, just going down musical alleyways my ears could not adjust to.

You dont like that music eh ? ahaha 
@mnhsr . . .
Fantasy in F Minor by Chopin, played by Valentina Lisitsa, wonderful pianist born in Kiev, Ukraine. It's 13 minutes of mellow bliss. If I can't get my chess game going in that time, it won't be a good day.
