well as mentioned a lot, instrumental music is what works the best
and, in my mind, some easy-to-ignore and minimalistic lyrics to occasionally stimulate your brain a bit more
another rather obvious thing is the volume.. turning it down just right works wonders
anyway, when it comes to artists this is what I personally recommend =)
Carbon Based Lifeforms
ambient downbeats at their best (to me at least)
Central Plain from their album Hydroponic Garden is a good example
Bob Holroyd
he simply makes beautiful music..
do take a listen to Hollow Man (which is both a track and the name of a truly great album)
good luck with the studying fellow students

Civ IV game music?
I do okay with some more dance/techo/trance type stuff. Traci Lords or Machines of Loving Grace have some nice songs for studying.
But really, I prefer music that is in a language other than English, so it doesn't interfere with whatever I am reading or writing.
Shakira's Spanish stuff is pretty good. Pizacatto Five. T.A.T.U.'s Russian stuff.
Think of musical styles you like, then google that style and bands from other countries.

Clair de lune by Claude Debussy. It's incredibly relaxing, kinda sad at the same time but it's great to listen to.
Led Zeppelin stairway to heaven if you edit it so theres only the slow bit (like I did) it's relaxing too.

I literally cannot think of anything better to study to than this:
Chopin's Nocturnes are also excellent.

Personally, I like to listen to music from video games as there are no lyrics (with some exceptions) to distract me and the fact that they're designed to be in the background so as not to interrupt the gameplay means the music itself isn't distracting either.

Amon Tobin works for me. It's mostly downbeat acid jazz or trip-hop. Either that or I just shuffle all my jazz bands.
I love this kind of music. These are a couple of Immediate's more soft songs, but I find even the more intense ones are great to do homework to as long as they aren't too loud.
They make the boring homework feel much more epic.

Not to be a troll but no music is much better for study than study with music just putting it out there.
