Not really music, but I like the sound of repetitive mechanical equipment. Printing press, assembly lines. Nothing with super loud noises, just a room full of well oiled machines. Also traffic, no horns.

I, too, have been lulled to sleep at night with my headset on by the sounds of my Factorio factory running

The album Absolute Garbage by Garbage is pretty good for this

Yo, I love those beats. They are plenty enjoyable as background music.

Big Giant Circles - The Glory Days

I find noise rock and general noise music to work well for me. Ronaldo and the loaf, panoram, dog milk by palm and revolution 9 by the beatles. Also a select amount of music by the residents.

Not everyones jam but It's disruptive and less than predictable. It can keep me from distractions allowing me to focus and if I wish focus on not focusing on anything.

Examples from Eno, the OG: 1/1, An Ending (Ascent)

If the head needs to be empty, I find that droney Japanese noise is the best way to get that. Example: Aube - Flare

I feel like this isn't what you were going for, but chill music is music to have thoughts to.

If you don't want to room to think, put on some Frontierer.

Recently I have started using this app called Nightwave Plaza. It has a surprisingly good selection of chill music that I can play in the background.

Anything from Cryo Chamber (on YouTube)

I have two moods for this:

One is a playlist composed of most of the library of songs by PVRIS. I don't know why, but their music just really clicks with me; I can listen to that playlist all day with no problems (I usually hate listening to the same song more than once or twice a day).

The other is a playlist of non-combat music from The Elder Scrolls. Really good for gentle background music.
