I like listening to theme music. Ever try listening to Swordland or Crossing Field from SAO while playing chess? That music makes anything exciting.
NONE!

I prefer hip hop. Currently playing that new Drake. Can't listen to a guy like Nas while playing chess his lyrics are to deep at times. I like to play African music Tekno, Wizkid, Runtown to name a few.
Sometimes soft Jazz.
Sometimes soft Jazz.
Recently discovered Run The Jewels and recently keep coming back to Apathy and Big Pun.
Jazz too, but that's sometimes too relaxing for fast games.
Now and then I remember this guy exists

That's not allowed. You have to name names. We know what metal and rock sound like. What bands do you listen to? Don't be embarrassed. I listened to Poison, Winger, and Cinderella back in the day.
Battle Beast, Sabaton.
This isn't heavy metal but nice song + cool video

Cool, so are you married with children? Have a pet? Near a busy intersection? How do you filter out the external noises to help concentrate on the game?
I am married with 4 children. Two boys still at home. Do not live near a
busy intersection. Do have 2 dogs as pets. They bark sometimes.
I am deaf in one ear and the other requires a hearing aid which I can turn off.
However I was tortured with music so do not enjoy it as much as others.

Problem is not background noise, no matter the intensity, but the "daaaaad!" and the "honey, are you listening to me?"

I don't really listen to any music
I like to listen to swing music, or very up-tempo ones while playing fast chess. Tactics trainer would require something repetitive, such as The Happy Troll. Pop is fun when in the car, and I usually have enough band music in rehearsals. I usually listen to orchestra music when I have free time. Instrumental jazz works for me.
i type gaming music in youtube and go with it, skip if too much vocals that distracts me
I rarely listen to music while playing chess, but it would be something like the Bach violin concertos or the Water Music. My joke answer is "One Night in Bangkok".
Only Black Metal.
Swing, such as Celia or Parisian Thourofare.
I tend to like Samba.
Sometimes soft Jazz.
