While I'm actually playing the game, I don't listen to anything but the game sounds. I like to hear everything going on. I don't even turn the radios on in game.
Sometimes when I build, I listen to music though. It really depends on my mood or what I'm feeling and has less to do with what I'm doing in-game. I typically gravitate toward Blue October because they're my favorite band.
I take spells where I don't listen to any music for months on end, and then I will obsess over it for a while.
Sometimes I prefer total silence. I have kids though, so I really like silence. ?
