My (completely unfounded) belief is that nobody *truly* likes that stuff. ;)

Yea, I'm similar. It seems kinda weird (even to me), but the heavier, 
faster, louder stuff often helps me stay "in the zone". If I don't have 
music, or if I play smooth jazz (which I do normally quite like), then 
my mind will start to wander.

My coding music lately has been anywhere between not-entirely-mainstream 
rock/pop/electronic to industrial metal. Like Kotoko, KMFDM, Thrill Kill 
Kult, Manson, Crystal Method, Queensryche, Ohgr/Skinny Puppy, Daft 
Punk's latest album, etc. Largely stuff that would probably make most 
people go "How does that not distract you?" Somehow it manages to keep 
me from distracting myself.
