What do you college folk listen to while studying? So far,I've had great results with Apostrophe and Hot Rats by Zappa. Recommend me something!

I listen to everything. Lately, when I need to write something or whatever, its Minus the Bear radio on Pandora

While I was taking my summer class I was listening to a lot of The Appleseed Cast and Russian Circles, it was just a bonus that they were awesome inspiration for speech writing.

Man, I remember studying for my O-grades (yes, it was a million years ago -- those were final exams you took in Scotland after 4 years of highschool, they've long since done away with those) listening to a cassette (I told you it was a million years ago) with Velvet Underground on one side and Tangerine Dream on the other. I still listen to those two when I'm concentrating. The last stages of the last big genome mapping project I worked on were completed at 3 am with Stratosfear on loud in the lab.

Cocteaus are good too.

Mecha Shiva
Earth
Stereolab
Jesu
Blonde Redhead

This has worked the best for me.

texas is the reason


for real haha essay writing music

I used to listen to De-loused in the Comatorium by the Mars Volta a lot when I'd do math in High School. Now, I tend to listen to Hell Songs by Daughters, but that may be a bit chaotic for some. I'd go for TMV if I were you.

Yeah, that sounds like it'd be horrible for me. Way too busy. It's the kind of music that it's a sin to listen to without your full attention.

I like early Daft Punk for studying and also driving. Homework mostly, but maybe their live albums too. Discovery is a little too melodic and Human After All blows my mind every time I listen to it(seriously, SOOOOOOOOOO underrated).

Maybe some Explosions in the Sky or other instrumental post-rock. Not Sigur Ros though, that's another band that's too good not to have my complete concentration.

One time when I was really stoned I was laying on my bed listening to Takk and I just had to shut it off because it was so goddamn amazing that I just couldn't handle it at the moment.

Hmmm, when I was in college usually I'd study/do work with the tv on as opposed to music. But if I was listening to music it would probably be post metal, progressive death metal, or technical progressive metal. Something that would block out the rest of the world.

Back when I was in college, I usually studied/did research on my laptop and listened to music on the computer through headphones...
um..let's see...it was usually stuff like uh..Russian Circles, Pelican...uh...Dream Theater too? it's been a while...

Heh, nothing like cold, bleak nihlism to get the mental juices flowing, eh?

(just kidding..I don't have any room to mock, either..)

also...sorry for the double-post I've been doing alot of those lately

RxRy might be good

apparently I heard you're supposed to listen to instrumental music because the lyrics can apparently distract you. I never really tried this though.. so idk?
