I think they're too young to know wtf that is.
Weirdly none. Music distracts me from what I am doing.
Literally anything as long as I take ritalin first. Turns out I have ADHD.
A single song isn't sufficient to get anything done and you'll inevitably distract yourself by constantly fiddling with your music choice once the song is over in the next 2 - 10 minutes. Don't fall into the spotify trap. Instead put on a full album and truly focus for an hour or so at a time.
That said I'll put on something like Paul Oakenfold's Global Underground. Disc1+2 which is around 2hours of music. Or a Led Zeppelin album (~45min), or maybe a Symphony.
For me, to 'get shit done' means to enter a state of flow and focus. For that I put on noise cancelling headphones and put this Chillhopmusic playlist on shuffle.
(It's not my playlist, just a public one that someone has created and shared.)
Pants.
It's usually Blanck Mass for me. That confuses the shit out of other people, but I can't imagine using something with lyrics without getting distracted. It's very uncomplicated in all the right ways.
Rotting Christ - Dead Poem.
Excellent choice.
Mostly silence, but when I was in high school (some decades ago now) I had a CD of Mozart music I would put on while doing homework. I still associate Symphony 40 in G minor with grinding through tasks.

It's an album, but: The Fabulous Steel Guitar Sound of Pete Drake. It's instrumental, upbeat, and just the right amount of interesting to just jam out to and get 'er done.
In the house - in a heartbeat (28 days later theme). It sounds oddly motivating.
Speed metal or techno - Daft Punk's Around the World and all of God Hates Us All by Slayer come to mind.
I've got a playlist with almost everything released by The Field.
It's like an engine that keeps my brain going similar to a gΓ₯nglΓ₯t but for coding or writing or thinking.
Listen, that song gets a lot of meme hate but it is a fucking GOOD SONG.
Only by Nine Inch Nails it has a fast beat makes you want to move.
While working, anything with lyrics will distract me, so usually itβs Kai Engel. If itβs shit I need to do around the house, usually metal.
Fire with Scooter
I have a Battle Tracks playlist of RPG battle music that really pumps me up!
Do you need the song to tell you to get shit done? Isn't listening to that just putting it back further?
Usually I open soundcloud.com and have music from there running in the background. No specific songs I regularly or specifically for this I come back to. I do have my likes, shares, and follows though, if the feed is unfitting.
I put white noice on my headphones. It is so annoying I want to get thing done as quickly as possible just to turn back to normal music.
This dude abuses women, right? Shia labeouf is the wrong person to be propping up with a fun post.
