I like alternative music mainly, but I pretty much like anything.

My favourite band is the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, I think they're amazing. I really want to see them live.

Other artists I like include The Dresden Dolls, Goldfrapp, MGMT, Radiohead, Modest Mouse, Sia (been listening to her a lot lately), Phoenix, umm a range of things really.

Right now i'm listening to regina spektor.

we have almost the exact same taste in music!

I listen mostly to old/classic rock, indie, alternative and maybe even some metal. :P

Bands like:

*Green Day

*The Killers

*AC/DC

*Guns N' Roses

*Led Zeppelin

*Lynyrd Skynyrd

*The Eagles

*Nickelback

*Nirvana

*RHCP

*U2

are my favorite.

When I'm reading to exams or doing my homework I usually listen to music at the same time. That helps me to concentrate on things what I'm doing.

A good music is something what makes you relaxed.

Hip-Hop/Rap isn't bad either.

I see we have alternative fans here.

My favorite stuff tends to be indie, alternative, punk rock, emo, power pop, hip hop, soul, jazz, Latin American-inspired beats, New Age, electronica, k-pop, j-pop, Broadway/movie film soundtracks, opera, and classical music containing pianos/violins/harps/oboes/French horns, esp. from the early Romantic era.

Random bands from iPod: Muse (LOVE :P), Fall Out Boy, Good Charlotte, Green Day, The Killers, Hellogoodbye, Natalie Portman's Shaved Head, Maria Mena, Sara Bareilles, The Ting Tings, The Dresden Dolls, Hot Hot Heat, Wonder Girls, SNSD, Younha, Heartsdales, Utada Hikaru, Katy Perry, Lily Allen, Maroon 5, We the Kings

I like almost all of the music styles. I believe each one of them has something different to show to us. Most of the times I listen to rock and alt. rock. It usually depends on my mood.

When I wake up I want to here something that will fill me with energy , like "Beautiful Day" By U2. But the rest of the day I listen to RHCP. I'm a huge fan and as a bass player I admire Flea's Basslines (RHCP's Bassist)

On a normal day basis I listen to a great variety of different kinds of music (apart from techno and metal and hard rock).

But when I study - Classical music works the best because it makes me more concentrated and it calms me down when I am stressed about finishing an essay or any other reason.

hey music lovers!!

I like pretty much all types of music, it's definitely my escape from stress(and homework of course!) ;)

usually I just listen to whatever is on the radio-- pop songs,

BUT I take classical piano lessons, great music from the past!!

(sigh)Actually I love all the arts that my school provided for us, unfortunately we only get to choose one... ;) (I'm just a freshman this year)

oh well...

:P

Hey people!

Music actually helps me study. When I don't listen to it, I procrastinate A LOT! It helps me concentrate.

Right now I'm listening to As the Rush comes by Motorcycle. I say give it a listen people. Its techno-ish House style. If you like it, also listen to Stereo Love by Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina.

Anyways, Happy Listening!

Me (Polish) doing/writing a lab report/essay or some other crap in English, simultaneously listening to music in let's say Spanish, is not a good idea at all! hehe

I just can't focus when the music's on - I pay too much attention to the lyrics. I definitely need a quiet environment while studying :P

But other than that I enjoy Wir sind Helden, Bebe, Czesław Śpiewa/Tesco Value, Giulia y Los Tellarini, Ida Maria and many others, quite similar to those previously listed.

Oh, and I hate techno, dance and pseudo-punk-pop crap like Tokio Hotel.

that would be it, I guess... :D
