<p>I listen to alot of Indie Rock soft rock, and classical music when I study. Jazz is nice too but I mostly enjoy something with a steady beat I can follow. Its just like slave work; I go as fast and as slow as the beat.</p>
<p>I tried to study with really loud music today..it only gave me a headache.</p>
<p>Usually 70s prog rock (Jethro Tull, Genesis, Yes) or classical Asian music :)</p>
<p>Jethro tull is the best band evar!!!</p>
<p>I listen to my good ol jrock bands. Dir en grey and X Japan. X Japan's ballads are really nice for thought provoking work, and Dir en grey's music is good for the more common, easier types of works. Either way since i can't understand the words, i can't concentrate on the lyrics and just enjoy the music:)</p>
<p>Yep, I listen no matter what kind of work I'm doing. Mostly Prog.</p>
<p>yes, Jethro Tull is indeed excellent!</p>
