I'm really ramping up the Incubus listening lately.
A Crow Left of the Murder is spinning in iTunes right now. Incubus is really talented, they write great music, and the pace of their albums is just right for coding. It's very uptempo, but without degenerating into mindless yelling or repetitive riffs. And, it has GREAT bridges and little asides / switch-ups scattered all over the place. Those are the things I really love in great albums.
I'd been listening to Light Grenades a LOT, which is the album that got me into them. I picked up Morning View several months ago, and most recently followed up with Make Yourself and the aforementioned Crow.
They're all getting better with every spin now, which is my ultimate litmus test for albums. There's definitely more Incubus purchases in my future.
The Everlasting Gaze - The Smashing Pumpkins Zero - The Smashing Pumpkins Cyanide - Metallica Hum Along - Ludo The Scene and Herd - Relient K Take On Me - Ah Ha
It's been a Metallica night for me; I'm getting primed up for November 23 at the New Orleans Arena. Me, my wife, my daughter and her boyfriend are going to the Metallica concert there!
EDIT:This will be the first rock concert any of them have ever gone to also. What a great band to break them in on!

The best house mix albums ever made 3cds from Seb Fontaine, Jon pleased Wimmen and Daniel Da Voli.
It is without doubt one of the biggest musical influences I have had. If you like house then check it out
