Music to study by

[Steven Biehler]

I am making a playlist on Youtube and would love your sugestions of what to put on this list. songs already on there can help give you a hint as to what kind of music I think should be on here. Songs chosen currently include

Welcome to lunar industries by clint mansell, Skyrin piano cover. Beatoven Moonling sonata, sunshine soundtrack "The surface of the Sun", 2Chelos-smoth criminal, The foutian-last man, a compilaton of the Elder scrolls themes, Requiem for a Dream-Lux Aterna, and piano cover of Portal 2-Want you gone. EDIT almost forgot ELO-Fire On High

remember this is music to study or write an essay by so noting extreemly energtic (although the Skyrim theme does make you go kill a dragon everytime you hear it) but I hope you understand what I mean. I guess try to stay away from songs with lyrics cause those might be distracting. It is up to you all ideas of what to put on the playlist are concidered.

 

[I.N.producer]

I'd say you should add some Iron Maiden to that list. That is almost the only music that I have no trouble studying with at all. And Losfer Words is instrumental.

 

[MysticToast]

Electronic music and music without lyrics is generally better for studying. I like to throw on some Ephixa or anything to that effect.

 

[lobster1077]

Pogo or PinkiePieSwear remixes, here ye go good fellow.

Failing that try the classics. That should probably work, right Zach?

 

[UltraBlumpkin]

Check out the soundtrack to Megaman 1-4.

 

[Wanderer787]

Deadmau5 and/or Explosions in the Sky. I play those a little quieter than my normal music, and it helps my ideas cross the ol' corpus callosum a little better and it helps me concentrate.

 

[Richardplex]

Music without lyrics are the ones that don't distract, so anything by Yuki Kajiura. Except maybe the .hack//sign songs, but some of those are slow and soft enough to work I guess. I don't know, I prefer silence

 

[Tragedy's Rebellion]

It's proven that listening to Mozart somehow increases your concentration and ability to think faster and more efficiently, I haven't tested it myself, but what's the worst that can happen?

 

[Ubermetalhed]

Nothing like a bit of prog to spark the creative juices!

Pain of Salvation - Dryad of the woods

This is a lovely instrumental, very chilled but god damn awesome.

Probs not entirely fitting to the tracks you have but worth a listen non the less.

My music to study by recently includes Black Earth and Sunset Mission by Bohren & der Club of Gore, alternatively Succubus by The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation. Slow, moody instrumental jazz with a touch of ambient. Here's a sample. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_1-zwBsvjw]

 

[Virmire]

My favorites, in loosly this order are:

Ezio's Family from the Assassin's Creed 2 soundtrack
The Hitman Theme song (Blood Money's and the shite film's, that is)
Jasmine Ash - Lulls
Mad World by Gary Jules,
Any of Fallout 3's songs, I have 'I Don't Want to Set the World of Fire', and 'Maybe' myself.
DeVotchKa - how it ends,
Sam Sparro - Black and Gold,
Anything by U2


I also like La Roux's stuff, as well as Alexander perls' Maximalist but they're more techo-y

I'd suggest not listening to music though, I've tried it and never really worked out for me.

 

[ZehMadScientist]

I usually get distracted by the lyrics of music I put on while studying, so my genius solution is to listen to music in a language you don't know Japanese in my case. I should be studying right now >.>

 

[Littaly]

If you can, go get Spotify, bring up any classical composer and hit play, it always works for me ^^

 

[Torrasque]

I try to stick to songs that don't have lyrics, because lyrics can be distracting.
That being said, studying to Parov Stelar and Scar Symmetry, are awesome.

I tried that a while ago, but it reminded me of anime I'd rather be watching, and I tended to watch anime instead of studying, lolol...

 

[5-0]

Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here album is inexplicably the only music with lyrics which I can study too without getting distracted, so any track from that.
Besides that, I listen to film and game soundtracks so as not to get distracted. I suggest maybe "Time" from the Inception soundtrack and some of the Batman Begins and Dark Knight soundtracks (can't remember song names, sorry).

 

[Viral_Lola]

Chopin helps me concentrate and Vivaldi does as well. Big fan of Winter by Vivaldi.

This is a really good one. It's long and not too distracting, yet beautiful and helps you think.
