Every year when the exams start, I'm getting into a big dilemma... I don't know what to do when I study! Listen to music or not at all? Well sure it depends on the subject you're studying, but give me your opinions...

I wish I could have every possible genre in the options, but the options are limited, so I think that's the best way to put this poll...

Poll

When with a book in hands, what's the best music to listen to?

No music at all!

What is someone doing here who likes rap? Well he also likes metal, and probably likes metal more than rap but still likes rap. There is nothing wrong in liking rap. FFS Slayer even worked together with Ice-T, so that wouldn't be allowed either in the minds of some d********s here.

IMO it is better top listen to rap than to crap such as Alestorm, DragonForce, European Flower Metal, 99% of folk metal. There is more sincerity and street credibility in than in the music I just named

I can't study with music, I need total silence and that even to read a book for pleasure. This is actually a pain in the arse as I cannot study or read for to long as music is always calling for me.

Since I have a better idea-flow when there's some music playing I usually pick something boring, but not annoying, like Dream Theater or Liquid Tension Experiment. Stuff that just "is there", whitout having anything that would distract (something that doesn't make me go "whoa, that was cool" or "that was painfully bad") me from my studies, but still forming a nice background. I've experimented with ambient too, but that didn't really work out, because I tended to zone out and lose concentration.

Reading (more than 2-3 a4 pages) is a whole different matter, I usually need silence to keep my concentration, especially if the materials are really boring or really dry (like legalese or academic-ese). If the material is interesting, then it doesn't matter what I'm listening to, as I won't practically notice it.

I put Other - I like to study when I'm listening to a variety of music. I usually make playlists on my iPod that combine instrumental, various forms of metal, techno music, and video game music all in one. I feel that a change of pace when it comes to music when I'm studying or doing homework, or even other activites that require concentration helps me a lot.

Jazz is good for studying (it works in my case ) and some medieval or baroque music can be uplifting.

Lately i have found myself sometimes liking to read by listening to classical music. it is really relaxing and it helps a lot that it doesnt have lyrics... it's just music..

If I have to read I generally need silence, however when doing math or the like, I prefer listening to Aggrotech/industrial music.
