None. Music by it's very nature is designed to draw you into it's world. If you want background nose, use background noise.

Absolutely second that. I never understand how people can concentrate with their headphones listening to music. For me it is only helpful for recreation.

Nightcore white noise wardrums whatever is playing as long as it's not my native language

Nick Cave's just released "Ghosteen" is perfect. Quiet, beautiful soundscapes.

Electro-house or hard trance. Something with a solid repetitive beat and minimal to no lyrics (occasionally those lyrics may be in a foreign language).

I'm listening mostly to ambient and instrumental music. MusicForPrograming has a great selection of them: http ://musicforprogramming.net
