Hi Rachel,
I tended to listen music most of the time in earlier days while coding and working. I even wore out the laser led's of several CD players. But nowadays I enjoy the silence...
If You need some energetic motivational music, I'd recommend VNV Nation,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VNV_NationEspecially the newer CDs are more mainstream, like Automatic, Transnational or Noire. I have all of them on my shelf.
P.S. and even if I wrote, I enjoy the silence, it doesn't need to be completely silent -->
