<p>lately I've been listening to a lot of Dead Can Dance (Within the Realm of a Dying Sun especially). it's really good ethereal darkwave that doesn't distract me from concentrating.</p>
<p>You can't beat the Canon in D for relaxation...</p>
<p>uh any type of music distracts me if i'm studying b/c music is my life and as much as i 'want' my academic work to be as well, it's not. lol. u can't compare the two</p>
<p>but occasionally, i do listen to music while studying if the test/quiz is not the next day.</p>
<p>i'd listen to any good original score music (i love titanic's piano love theme), the backstreet boys, and metallica just for the hell of it. ;P</p>
<p>apathy: i'm glad i'm not the only one! i listen to the earth is not a cold dead place from beginning to end when i do homework. it helps keep me focused without distracting me.</p>
<p>Idina Menzel all the way. Especially her newer songs (buy her upcoming album!) they are very relaxing yet reassuring at the same time. I swear, the woman is a Goddess.</p>
<p>I'm listing soothing songs that I know of (not really into bands, I just randomly find songs and like them). I don't really listen to music while I'm studying.</p>
<p>Watermark, by Enya
The Killer Angel, from the Gettysburg soundtrack
Mountain Spring, by Barrage
Schindler's List Theme
Pacific Wind, by Ryan Farish
Forrest Gump Theme
The Gravel Road, from the Village soundtrack
Return to Innocence, by Enigma</p>
<p>And a plethora of Chinese songs that are in my computer.</p>
<p>I have to be singing at the top of my lungs to finish an AP Chem report. Current artists include Journey, Keane, Mika and Soul Asylum.</p>
<p>English papers or reading call for the Little Women soundtrack.</p>
<p>I love journey....I find myself singing along to "Don't Stop Believing" at the top of my lungs at random times at night. Especially when I can't focus.</p>
<p>Manu Chao. He's perfect background music, specifically "Bongo Bong." Also works for getting high, I suppose.</p>
<p>I listen to Sigur Ros. It's in Icelandic, so no lyrics to distract me!</p>
<p>Hmm... I listen to a very random assortment of music.</p>
<p>Artists? Frank Sinatra, Brenda Lee, Rosemary Clooney, Dean Martin... things like that, in addition to country and, right now, holiday music. Quite relaxing, actually!</p>
