It really depends on the game for me and if I've already beat it. Like for Fallout 3 the first time through I only listened to the game but everytime after I'd blast some Taylor Swift. But seriously for the music I listen to, as long as it sounds good I'll listen to it. Whether it be All That Remains or Lady Gaga.

Yes. iPod on shuffle, on a playlist containing (mostly) rock in many forms from the 60s to 00s.

I listened to a bunch of songs that came with my first xbox 360, which I still have on my fourth for some reason, whilst playing through Oblivion for over 250 hours. I immediately think of Oblivion whenever I hear any of them, pretty nice nostalgia. I normallly listen to podcasts or Giant Bomb videos when I grind points, keeps me conscious and i can't really just do one thing at a time. 
 
Anyone else get a song list called "Custom Xbox  360 Mix 1" with an Xbox 360.

One of these two. Depends if I've got a new Bombcast or not.

The Bombcast was the only reason I was able to grind for Dead Rising's ~56k kill achievement. I think I went through three of them.
 
Other than that, yeah, I have a playlist of mostly classic rock that gets me through periods of grind.

Listening to "The Geekbox" as I grab feathers in AC2 right now. Was listening to music before. Will listen to a fresh "The Bombcast" when it's released. May be done with AC2 in a few minutes here, though...

I don't grind achievements, but I usually listen to my favorite playlist. I picked my favorite songs from my music collection. The playlist is 730something songs, no filler. My playlist is called "MFREGERSD" it doesn't stand for anything, I just hit some keys. I also never get bored of that playlist, it has classical, metal, rap, rock, and a few pop songs.

I go through about 4 to 10 podcasts each week grinding achievements. So much so that music has gotten boring. Also I think I have a problem :)

Yeah. Primarily rock music to keep me going, whatever is playing on my iTunes.
 
Don't do it very offen, though. Only time I ever did it was when I was grinding for some flags in AC1. That needed some serious motivation. =/

Grinding in RPGs requires music. Not for achievements
