the best songs to study to

[simpak]

Yay!  What are your favourite songs to study to?  I want a Study playlist, it will be badass.

Note: not to be confused with 'favourite songs to listen to when you're on your way to exams but don't want any songs to be stuck in your head during the exam so you must choose wisely'...which can also be discussed here.

I have "Motivational Songs"

Does that count?

[simpak]

WELL it depends.
Songs to study to have to be ones that you typically either.
a. know well so they don't confuse you
b. can ignore to some extent but drown out the silence
and
c. that you either know the words to, don't need to know the words to or that have no words so you don't RUN THE RISK of MESSING UP YOUR PHONOLOGICAL LOOP.  That would be disastrous!

[slothpomba]

Oh haha they probably dont satisfy all that criteria... i just used them to psyc myself up before exams and stuff

Something instrumental would be good for studying or Binaural Beats apparently improve your brain/thinking power

You got your own selection?

LOL at the reference to Baddley's model of working memory......sooo subtle.

And you're right. Today in methods I had "Transatlanticism" playing in my head during the exam. I was like SHUT UP DEATH CABB ARGHHH.

DON'T TELL GIBBARD TO SHUT UP I WILL SHUT YOU UP.
At least half of that song is instrumental.

Trust me. In an exam, you DO NOT want death cab blocking your thoughts. I don't care how good they are haha.

I don't listen to music when I'm properly studying because I find all music distracting... But when I did "homework" I guess this is one that I would have playing:

Fuck tha police
Comin straight from the underground
Young nigga got it bad cuz I'm brown
And not the other color so police think
They have the authority to kill a minority

Fuck that shit, cuz I ain't tha one
For a punk muthafucka with a badge and a gun
To be beatin on, and throwin in jail
We could go toe to toe in the middle of a cell

Fuckin with me cuz I'm a teenager
With a little bit of gold and a pager
Searchin my car, lookin for the product
Thinkin every nigga is sellin narcotics
