Work on AND play games at the same time? That's hardcore!
Me, i usually listen to metal, dance, some pop or any other genre i feel like listening to at the time (though more often than not metal and dance!) if i am listening to anything, otherwise i've mostly got no music on as i'm listening to the game itself as i test/play it
Random things in my iTunes library. It's usually just instrumental/orchestral music (Usually soundtracks. There are some darn good ones.) with the occasional rock song. Words distract me if they're in a modern song.
Often because I'm cringing at its terribleness.
I will also listen to Johan Hargne music if I'm working on Splotches. That oompah tuba tutorial music still hasn't gotten old.
I don't listen to anything except the game itself through headphones (when playing back a single frame to test or something). I shut the TV off too. It's gotta' be complete silence for me.

For me it completely depends on what I'm working on.
I get bored and work on a lot of overhead shooters, so I usually play some sort of metal or rock (BTW, just got the new Slash Album, great CD!),
but with my lighter toned games I usually play some slow rock songs. Like the slower NickelBack songs I end up playing a lot. I'm not a big fan of rap, but sometimes I play Colt Ford because he's got a few songs that match the tone of my games.
With games specifically, Dragonforce is a nice choice because of the video-gamish tune.

to be honest its usually just playing l4d with mmf2, visual studio, code::blocks, eclipse, or flashdevelop, sitting open on my laptop next to me. lol.
