I listen to all kinds of stuff so it's hard to put a mark on exactly what I
listen to.  Usually it's music with a lot of energy and patterns in it.
Lately I've been listening to lots of house selectronica sort of music while
designing.

Detract:  Music that doesn't change much, pop "jumpy" kinda music.
Enhance:  Electronica, but I think that's because I have a personal like of
it to start off with, I don't think it would for everyone...

There was a study done in to a similar thing a while back, about how certain
types of music changed the way people studied/worked.  It was found that
when people listen to music that they like while studying they have a better
capacity to remember things, and also in another test they found that
classical scores increased brain activity.

I remember once in my english class, we had this really excellent teacher
who would come up with all these interesting things for us to ponder over,
and one time in an essay exam, he played classical music in the background,
LOL.  Interestingly enough I got a really good mark on that exam, so maybe
it does help ;)
