Here at Teen.com, we debated for like, ever, on whether listening to music while studying was a big distraction or totally helpful. What we decided? It ultimately depends on what type of worker you are. But if you wanna find out, listen to these 10 tunes during a hard core study sesh. We’ve got a little something for everyone (mellow rap, indie anthems and even the #3 song right now), so you never know…
And hey, if all else fails, there’s always RainyMood.com, which puts a relaxing thunderstorm in your backyard, to help you get through that Bio homework. We can’t make this stuff up.
Check out our 10 picks — plus embedded vids so you can listen! — below:
Pumped Up Kicks -- Foster the People
You know it, you love it. The alternative rock melody and catchy beat is just enough to keep you entertained, as long as you tune it down low enough so you won’t be tempted to sing along.

Superstar -- Lupe Fiasco ft. Matthew Santos
One of Lupe's oldest tracks, this jam is probably one of only a few rap songs (and we've got them all on this playlist) that is totally fine to listen to while writing a paper. Maybe it's something about the relaxing chorus or the super positive message, but we love it just the same.

Find Your Love -- Drake
The former Degrassi-er got it right with his first single, which manages to pump you up just enough to get motivated.

Nothing -- The Script
Ten bucks says you already know all the words, so you won't be paying attention while working. The smooth melody provides just the right amount of background noise.

Girlfriend -- Phoenix
We love pretty much every song by this French pop band, but this number in particular is great to jam out to while reading super boring history or science books.

Lights -- Ellie Goulding
Rock out to Ellie's most recent single while working on your toughest paper. This Brit chick is big overseas, but we're guessing she'll be huge here soon. Don't say we didn't warn you...

Rumor Has It -- Adele
Sorry guys, but really, who wants to listen to "Someone Like You" while doing homework (cause you'd probs be super depressed). So we went with one of Adele's other amaze numbers. Listen to this one when you're fed up with studying. Go ahead, scream. Now get back to work.

Faster -- Matt Nathanson
Upbeat, fun and sort of adorable, this song will make you smile. No matter what. So it's perfect to listen to if you're doing something you hate.

Lighters -- Bad Meets Evil ft. Bruno Mars
Featuring sexy crooner Bruno Mars and the crazy talented Eminem, this song somehow manages to turn a hard core rap into a really beautiful tune. It'll fade into the background as you concentrate on your algebra.

Good Life -- One Republic
When you're finally done with everything (and it's 2 a.m.), turn up the volume on this song. That feeling of accomplishment? It's the good life.

- I Think It’s A Great Idea .
I Listen To Music Every Chance I Get ! =)
I don’t think it is good to use while you are doing ur homework it can hurt ur brain an get you off teack
It’s a very good idea..
Whilst the right side of your brain is focusing heavily on the logical side of things (Homework for example). The left is able to focus on the music as this is the creative side of your brain. It’s quite possibly the best way to keep yourself focused….
Especially a playlist as you wont be stopping every 3 minutes to skip track.
FOSTER THE PEOPLE <333333333 i listen to them everyday
