Mr. Shiver Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) So who here loves music? What kind? What are some of your favourite artists? Does music help or hurt you while studying?This thread is where we discuss all of this and more (respectfully!).Personally I've been listening to a lot of The Verve lately. I can't wait to listen to their first album in over a decade. However, I think my favourite band has to be Incubus, hands down.

QueenSara Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Music taste, the one thing that I haven't had very much in common with anyone I have ever known. Why? I tell you why, I like hip hop, AND Metallica. Does two don't seem to fit, ha? At least that's what people's telling me. What's all this with metal people disliking hip hop... It's tiresome. Everyone I have ever met dislikes hip hop... My music taste is quite extensive, to summarise it briefly: Hip hop, R&B [Remember a lot of artists are included in those categories] Metallica, Coldplay, U2, Madonna, Michael Jackson and some Swedish artist, e.g., Håkan Hellström, Kent and Vincent. Last thing: Music does NOT help me while studying, I'm one of those who cannot listen to music and study at the same time, although music is great for inspiration.

Mr. Shiver Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) I guess the reason why I never liked rap/hip-hop that much has a lot to do the culture and image that comes along with it. I was never really a huge fan of the kind of stuff it promotes. Some hip hop I really enjoy (case in point: Outkast's 1998 album Aquemini, which I'm listening to right now), but most of the mainstream stuff is painful to my ears. The new Coldplay songs are awesome. I'm really glad they decided to try some new stuff out this time, because I was beginning to get bored of them. Music has got to be my greatest source of pleasure. And distraction. Edited May 27, 2008 by Mr. Shiver Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Coldplay's new songs are great, and I'm happy they actually did come with a new album, a while ago it sounded like they were going to quit.

QueenSara Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 That was just a tabloid rumour, silly! Analysing it one could say it was an effective one haha, that probably gave the new album more attention. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeRed15 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I listen to all kinds of music. Literally. Some of my friends don't believe me but I enjoy all kinds of music. Also I remember reading somewhere, Listening to classical music helps you concentrate while studying. Like Mozart, Beethoven they're all good while studying.

Silviana Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Haha, what a great question. I'm pretty instrumental, so I've been playing classical music on flute and piano for about 10 years now, but recently my tastes have changed... I went through this heavy metal stage, then hip hop, then alternative, then rock... and now I've matured and settled for nice (but not classical) piano pieces. E.g. Yiruma... David Lanz etc. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatgirl Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I'm a big music lover.... I listen to rock, mostly... Metallica, Evanescence, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, etcI can't listen to music while I study, though...it distracts my attention and I end up not remembering anything I read Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandev Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 I love music. I always study with music. I like heaps of different kinds of music. At the moment I am loving Midlake, Foals, and Thom Yorke. Obviously I love alternative music always have ever since I was 12. Electro-indie is really tickling my fancy right now but I have always loved Fleetwood Mac and similar artist. I have a soft spot for female singer-songwriters eg Joan as Police Woman, Missy Higgins, New Buffalo and Sia.And I ashamed to say I like popstars like Robyn, Kylie and Britney.

ozolins Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Right now, Im really into N*E*R*D...Pharell is just awesome, Tiesto, and Basshunter.How come you listen to Basshunter? I might be wrong, but aren't all his lyrics in Swedish? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

homeroom Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 (edited) Music is...AWESOME.I admit, I also listen to a lot of different type of music, classical, jazz (Ella Fitzgerald!) , pop, R&B, some occasional rock (I also like the new Coldplay songs!!!. I find music distracting while I'm studying, unless it's instrumental. Edited June 3, 2008 by homeroom Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yazzie Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 yeah i would agree instrumental music is the best thing to listen to while studying cuz everything else distracts me and i find myself singing along instead of studying =Phas anyone here heard of Outlandish? they have really good songs with meaning to them not the typical lost in love type of thing....

ozolins Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I like music very much, but it's not like I wouldn't survive without it (even if life would be pretty lame). My taste in music varies all the time, but right now I listen a lot to Crystal Castles, The Klaxons, The Deer Tracks, Foals, Tori Amos and a Swedish band called Kultiration. Music while studying.. sometimes it helps, sometimes it hurts. Depends on what language the lyrics are in and what subject you're studying.
