I need more music...

[Akai Shizuku]

Rage Against the Machine.

...Although it's more likely to make you scribble "SUBSERVIENT TOOLS" all over your notebooks and flush them down the toilet.

 

[Random Argument Man]

I would recommend soft music for homeworks. Take some Zero 7. It's so damn relaxing.

 

[DrunkWithPower]

I recomend Scatman John.

*sitting, cleaning finger nails with a large blade* I finally got "Scatman" out of my head Tuesday... and you ruined it. Meatloaf or Banana Phone would have been fine but you went and did it.

 

[Lord Kofun]

You seem to be going more towards classic/modern rock. If you ever want to venture into heavier stuff:

Between the Buried and Me (especially the Colors album)
System of a Down (always good as a gateway-band to metal, so to speak)
The Devil Wears Prada (for the nu-metal / hardcore vibe)
War From A Harlots Mouth / Molotov Solution / All Shall Perish (to go WAAAAAAY into the metal forest)
Haste the Day (a bit on the lighter side)
Arsonists Get All the Girls (for an EXTREMELY unique style. Ever hear a synthesizer during a breakdown?)
Heavy Heavy Low Low (also extremely unique)
Honest Bob and the Factory-to-Dealer Incentives (a little closer to your original tastes)
Presidents of the United States of America
So Many Dynamos (one of the pillars of Indie, or at least, they should be)

I like something relaxing, preferably in a foreign language, for homework.
Enya, Sigur Ros, Björk's softer songs, several movie and game OSTs (Okami, Memoirs of a Geisha, Guild Wars, LoTR's less bombastic scores, etc).

Also, I cannot disassociate Horslips with Calculus. The two go hand in hand like cocoa and milk.

Classical, Opera, and crossovers like Pop-Opera and Classical Crossover do wonders for my concentration. Get some Vanessa Mae, Sarah Brightman, Nigel Kennedy and Emma Shapplin. Brightman in particular, hers being the greatest voice on earth and all that.

My music tastes are rather odd, as in I do not choose music via bands I go by song by song.

I made a online playlist a while back and nothing really changes on it. Check my list and see if you like any particular songs.

IMO I think Black Betty by Ram Jam is beast for study =P

 

[khaimera]

I'd go with instrumentals or acid jazz/trip hop. Try DJ Krush, DJ Cam, or Air.

 

[QuirkyTambourine]

I recomend Scatman John. (Don't let the name intimidate you)

this This THis THIS!!! Thank you so much for reminding me of how much I love him.

I always listen to music when I do homework and I wanted to know what bands/albums/songs are good for listening to when doing homework.

I'll throw in my two cents worth as well

Well nothing is quite as awesome as some jazz while you're doing work. A good place to start is either Miles Davis' Kind of Blue or John Coltrane's My Favorite Things albums.

They're good, low key albums and you can pay as much attention as you want to to it, or don't. It's fun to analyze, and great background music.

 

[Psychopomp]

The Tea Party, State Radio, Pearl Jam, Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad

 

[superbleeder12]

I tend to enjoy a lot of post rock and instrumental rock when doing homework/reading/studying. Ambient is good too.

Stuff like Explosions in the sky, godspeed you! black emperor, gray strawberries, god is an astronaut, mogwai, mono, etc.

 

[PatrioticPineapple]

Listen to classic stuph, that shit gets you pumped lol

 

[Erana]

Indie chiptune's nice for studying 'cause often its free and non-vocal, which is less distracting.

 

[Generator]

Well, there's always:

Spoiler: this

As long as you don't know the words, you should be fine. Otherwise, prepare to skip homework in order to sing along.

 

[Dominar]

Heavy Stuff:

Rammstein
Turisas
Eluveitie
malestrom

Softer stuff:

Days of the New
Queen
Micheal Jackson
Bob Marely

Dosent have a category but is still good:

Captain Dan and the scurvy crew

 

[Daniel Cygnus]

Aphex Twin is awesome homework music.

I Dunno, While 10-15 minute Trane solo's are awesome (almost as much as the 30-40 minute ones), If you are going to listen to jazz as study music, might be better to pick something a little less complicated, like some classic Charlie Parker bebop, which is mostly short and very sweet, or something a little more relaxing, such as Oscar Peterson. I find that I have to focus on Trane's stuff, as it is so enthralling and complex.

 

[SomeUnregPunk]

Alabama 3...a British band mixing rock, dance, blues, country, and gospel styles.

it's weird but got good beats.

 

[LordGarbageMan]

Kings of Leon, Slightly Stoopid, and Incubus are what I'm listening to lately for homework-doing.
