I'm a professional musician. If I don't play music in the background, then the tunes that are constantly running through my head distract me. Having music playing blocks those out.

I started off on the site not listening to anything. I thought it would me concentrate.
Given the fact that I am a professional musician, (classically trained) that didn't work well. So, I tried experimenting with music. I found some worked well in other settings, and some didn't work as well in others.
For me, when doing lessons, Daily Games and puzzles, I do my best when listening to "Classical" music from the late 1500's to early 1600's, in particular, the music of Giovanni Gabrieli. When playing "Live Games", I find that I play best listening to "metal" bands from the 70's to the early 90's, in particular, Iron Maiden. ... AC/DC, and Judas Priest work well for me, also. among some others.
