Re: Best music

Please remember, the context of this thread is music for studying. Not just songs you like in general.

Re: Best music

I love that scary monsters and nice sprites I just don't know if I could really sit down and study with it playing.

Any reasonably fast electro/industrial/techno etc. without lyrics/not in English - makes me feel like I'm on a mission. :cool:

I find classical strangely distracting. Maybe it's the classical I listen to. (ahem Shostakovich...)
Yeah yeah I know you're meant to use classical period for studying but cmon, Mozart is boring.

Re: Best music

I don't listen to music often when I study, but I find that either instrumental music, power metal or depressing music works with me. I'm not sure with the logic of the latter, but I can say that it works.

If you're looking for albums, then try these instrumental pieces:

Explosions in the Sky - All of a Sudden, I Miss Everyone
sleepmakewaves - In Today Already Walks Tomorrow EP

If you want power metal, try the emotional though bombastic European power metal bands a go. I can't ever pass this one up as study music:


Finally, I don't recommend these depressive bands unless you can stomach the style of music the bands play. If you can listen to black metal or doom metal with harsh vocals, then good for you and try this:

Austere - To Lay Like Old Ashes
Woods of Desolation - Torn Beyond Reason
Mournful Congregation - The Monad of Creation
Evoken - Antithesis of Light

Re: Best music

Actually, I have a high rotation of ten or so albums:

Washing Machine - Sonic Youth
Amnesiac - Radiohead
Jar Of Flies - Alice In Chains (Really, really relaxing)
Animals - Pink Floyd
Heritage - Opeth
Damnation - Opeth
Fever - Sleepy Sun
The Hunter - Mastodon
Led Zeppelin III (mostly acoustic)
Octahedron - The Mars Volta

Mastodon's the only loudish album there, and I can sleep to all this stuff so it's pretty inspiring to study to as well.

Yeh depends on the sub tbh. When i'm doing maths questions i can listen to anything. If i'm try to memorise content/write analytical writing i just listen to soft music.
