Wow! that's some aggressive music, must be very tiring. Don't get me wrong, it is good, but I couldn't go through that again without rest.

I studied music in university, and I love Baroque. The Bach MIDI files that came with my Fritz CDs were most welcome. However, music is very distracting when I'm trying to concentrate, at least for me.
@antonio51867 I know a NM that listens to Bach music and I always get the song wrong when he plays it while taking a break. Arg!!!!
None ... except of course Eminem :)
Gorillaz, if anything at all. My taste in classical music just doesn't transfer over to chess playing music. Gorillaz it is. Or Dire Straits. Anything that puts me in a good mood, really.
"Coldplay" is the best

I didn't know that anyone listened to that racket, except when present at a Muay Thai bout.

I like to listen to mostly rock and rap music. For longer matches, I don't listen to music. However, when I play blitz matches, I usually listen to music so that I can win matches.
My playlist includes the following: Chris Brown, Skillet, Trapt, Seether, Daughtry, Sick Puppies, Assassins Creed 3 (Trouble In Town Extended), and Nelly.
What's yours?
