(Remote) quants — what music (if any) do you listen to while you write?

I'm basically in love with classic rock + some actual classical music (Beethoven, Mozart, etc.) but as I'm currently remote, I pretty much strictly listen to ~indie/alt~ music while working. (Mainstream, yes) but the majority of my work playlist consists of Tame Impala, Men at Work, and Cherub. The sounds provided by the music in this genre just don't compare when you're trying to write code.. (IMO). Drop suggestions if any of you have found other types of music that help drag you through a (remote) work day.
