Hate classical music. =(
but Nirvana FTW

yeah, music allows me to relax and concentrate when im not singing to it...
Well, I agree in part. I think some classical music is relaxing, depending on my mood and the situation. Then again, Nirvana or any metal/ thrash band is better then listening to classical.

I have 100GB worth of music. Random music, ranging from black metal to Korean pop to classical. Shuffle on. Study. :D

I prefer listening to music that I don't understand or instrumentals, as it is less distracting.

When I'm studying there's no music, but if it's just homework or some long assignment on the computer, then I'll listen to whatever I feel like :)

Lol K-Pop. Listening to it right now, but not working.

Umm, on-topic, well, I actually need complete silence to assignment. Problem: I just hate it when I'm on the computer and I'm not listening to anything...
So I ended up doing it very late!

Post-Rock is great for Mathematical type study.
Neo-Classical or New Age for more Creative/Writing type work.

But it depends on the mood. Black and Doom Metal (depending on vocals) can be alright as well.

Techno, trance, dance ftw. No vocals most of the time, easy to concentrate on work!

I've never really looked at it this way. I do agree completely on the music depending on the mood; I usually listen to heavy/ death metal (e.g. I killed the Prom Queen), when doing a very long and boring English assignment. It gives a minuscule shot of adrenaline imo. :eek:

That was just from personal experience. I'm sure it is fairly dependent upon the person. :)
