I'm studying for finals, and have gotten bored of my iPod playlist— any suggestions for good study music?

No need for video links, I'll just queue them up in grooveshark.

El Ten Eleven, the album leaf, collective soul and the flashbulb soundtrack to a vacant life. For some reason those just keep my moving without distracting me.

I tend to listen to whole albums while my brain is being taxed, here are my picks.

Reading and memorizing - Acoustic Alchemy (most songs on Arcanum)

Doing complex engineering and maths - Infected Mushroom (Just hit play on Vicious Delicious)

The bebop soundtrack, anything joe hisashi has conducted (more spicifically Howl's moving castle sountrack is beautiful) and the study music project's songs are what I used in finals.

I'm going to go all science on your ass.

Do not listen to music. Unless your exam allows you to listen to music at the same time. Learning is hampered in that manner. Learning is even more fucked if you have vocals in your music.

I'm too lazy to grab the studies from my notes, cause screw that I'm done school and I burned them. But if you HAVE to have music, I'd rather you go into white noise.

If not that, orchestral. If not that, nothing.

If you can also study in the same location as your exam, its even better. Location and state dependent learning are a valid thing, cause humans are no better than the rats we test this stuff on.

The big one is studying in the same space as your test. Location cues are a stronger renforcer than music, music + location are stronger still but I have yet to come across an exam that lets me play Howard Shore while writing the exam so there's that.

I stopped knowing what I was saying sentences ago, the brain left the building.

That's right. Work your way out of the Detroit Ghetto. Build a life for yourself. Overcome gang violence and poverty to become a rapper so you don't have the drudgery of working overtime at a stamping plant.

Or do your math homework.

It works for that too

I'm the same as decay. If I really really really need to get something accomplished, but still have music on (I pay way more attention with music playing) I'll just play a whole album so I'm not bothered with finding music. My personal all-time favorite album? Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison.

I'm deaf and I passed all my courses. Turn off your music and see what happens. :D

Listen to white noise, or rain sounds. There are tons of Nature-themed meditation soundtrack videos on YouTube, try and see if you can find something there.

This was brilliant advice. I went outside, no noise or music or anything, and studied my math for an hour and a half. It felt like the best studying I've ever done. I guess we'll see how good it really was tomorrow, which is when the final is. Thanks for the advice!
