I'll admit it - I listen to music while riding - but not when I'm in town. I live in a rural area and it's a high traffic day if I get passed by more than 5 cars on a 25 mile loop. I've got a huge range on the MP3 - some of the newer stuff my kids like (LMFAO, Black Eyed Peas) to contemporary Christian, Ethiopian, country and 80's stuff like ZZ Top, AC/DC, Loverboy, Journey, etc.
