What Music Do You Listen to in The Office

I need music to focus when doing work. I can't work without it. I always listen to EDM/Techno when doing math problems and computations and would definitely like to keep it up once I get into banking. Do you guys see others bopping their head like a pigeon while banging out excel all day, because I guarantee that will be me lol.

What music do you guys listen to at work to keep you focused, or do you prefer listening to your MD whisper sweet nothings into your ear whilst you work.

Classical or piano music. Anything with lyrics distracts me.

Honestly though I don't listen to music all that much at the office.
