Need Help With RPL (singer, alternative, pink floyd, Incubus, bands)

Hey Everyone, I'm new here and I need some input from the music community.
My name is Steve, I'm 20, I like all kinds of music, I am a Video Game Programmer, and im stuck on something...

Like I said before I like "all" kinds of music which is true, but when im coding stuff i like to here slower stuff (not barry white) but like alternative slow stuff that mellows you out, so far I've come up with these...

A Perfect Circle - 3 Libras
Incubus - Drive
Deftones - Minerva
Deftones & Maynard - Passenger*
Rise Against - Swing Life Away
Coheed & Cambria - The Light & The Glass

Anyway if people know what i mean by songs like these then I would love some input Thanks.

*Passenger is still pretty chill to me but that is about as hard as I want to go for this particular list....Again not that I don't like harder stuff I just want to make a chill list

try listening to:

Tool.
Opeth (their acoustic moments) and if you like female singers try bands like:

Ambeon
Delain
Midnatsoll.

Or go the way of:

Porcupine Tree.
Blackfield.
Sieges Even.
Lake Of Tears.

Ah, a fellow coder. I'd recommend heading over here for some ideas (especially the Music for Programming thread).

While programming I prefer to listen to music I've heard many times before, so that it doesn't distract me too much. I find Pink Floyd's Animals to be great for it.
