Artist: Soundgarden. Badmotorfinger, Superunknown, and Down on the Upside, specifically.
Devo is my go to for programming music (Freedom of Choice, New Traditionalists, Oh No! It's Devo). Not gonna lie, you may well hate them, but for whatever reason Devo works for me when I'm trying to focus.
Also a big fan of the album Love by The Cult and pretty much anything by David Bowie or Rush. For newer stuff, Zero 7's Simple Things is really chill. Also, if you're really looking to zone out to something esoteric, Bethany Curve and Children of the Bong are nicely mellow. The album Who's Next by The Who is also great. Guess I'm just dumping my Spotify playlist out at this point, pick and choose what you want? :)

I really enjoy Vince Guaraldi. It has it all for me to stay motivated and positive throughout the day -- fun, but not too loud for work, nostalgic and, well, it just gives me a happy feeling.

- Murder By Death : Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon, Red of Tooth and Claw
- Strike Anywhere : Exit English
- AFI : Burials
