I like to have music going when I'm programming. But it can't just be anything. It needs to be non-intrusive enough that I can concentrate while it's going in the background and not interesting enough that I don't start concentrating on the music. It helps if there are no lyrics or if the lyrics are in something besides English.

Often I'll put on Watermark or Shepherd Moons by Enya or the soundtrack to Emma. Beethoven's Sixth works well, but the Fifth is a bit distracting.

Anyone else have favorites along these lines?
