I'm just a little curious as to what you listen to when you are studying or doing homework, that does not impede your focus.

Most productive: House or Dub Step
Least Productive: Top Hits

I can really listen to anything. It just becomes noise in the background for me.

when i am writing something i kinda pick the music based on what it is I am writing. I wrote an essay on a ski trip I went on, so I put on the music I was listening to at the time I went on the trip. I wrote an essay on war or some shit for history, put on sigur ros, threw down a 95 on it.

Haha, that's because my last name's funk. But having that name has obviously caused me to explore that genre of music and I will agree that maggot brain is a fantastic album.

whenever im studying i don't listen to music

if i'm doing intense homework and i need to work hard i listen to daft punk

i'm not productive with every other type of music because i listen to that whilst doing non-productive things...which is most of the time

I rarely listen to music when I study, but if I do it has to be something with no lyrics..like an instrumental or instrument only band.

Riceboy sleeps is pretty chill when you read, if you can listen to music at the same time.

When I really need to crank stuff out or if I am stressed, literally classical music. Not my favourite thing to do, but I can definitely tell a difference - it may just be placebo but it works.

Except for that, I am most productive with chill rock (Jack Johnson, DMB, Dispatch, Jason Mraz etc) or reggae.

Classic rock in general. Anything I like is good, but if I know the lyrics, i sing along instead of working.

Rap is distracting though and it just makes me stupid. So is dubstep.
