Music is a huge distraction for me. I wind up paying more attention to it than the game. If a good song comes on, I have to kick in with trivia about the album - "Do you know this song was recorded the same time the beatles were recording Abbey Road? If you listen carefully, you can hear Paul cough in the background".
If it's a bad song, I have to kick in with my opinion on it. And if it's new, I have to listen to it, to figure out my opinion... and then share it with the rest of the group.
I'm kind of exaggerating here, but it's sort of true. Music is a very big part of my life - much larger than, say, gaming. I could live a perfectly happy life without another game of D&D. But I couldn't go a week without music.
So, when I'm sitting at a table, the music takes a higher priority. And that takes me out of the game.
