Everyone has their own way to be creative when they code. Four cups of black coffee, a "jar" of Peanut Butter M&M'S, a 64-oz 7-Eleven Diet Dr. Pepper Big Gulp, or just music. If you are a former musician like me, than it's your preferred method. Rob Birdwell blogged about The Relationship Between Programming and Music[1] in 2003. Then in 2009 Jeff Atwood from Coding Horror revisited it with The One Thing Programmers and Musicians Have In Common[2].
Every website I've built has an album that helped me build it. Even the first one wasn't possible without The Bends by Radiohead.
There would be many others. Others that I will share using this tag: #Code Music
Enjoy.
