Leaving Cert Music

This deserves its own thread!!! What songs do you listen to to get you motivated to study!??

Erm, to get me studying I funnily enough stick on some classical music. (pianos, violins, brass etc.)

At the moment I'm using the works of Nobou Uematsu to help me study.

I find if you listen to music you normally listen to i'm constantly just singing along taping pens to the drum beat etc even trying to figure out the chords to the song (this only happens if you play guitar)

Any of my favourites really; incubus, green day, muse, the white stripes and I just got the caesars new album and its not bad.

Stereophonics new album is good stuff too btw.

kings of leon- milk....brilliant

Rammstein works for me, oddly enough. Because I don't speak German, I'm not concentrating on the lyrics so I tend to focus more on what I'm doing. Also any of the works of Koji Kondo and Kenji Yamamoto.

i find the best is bic runga its great and for some reason doesn't put me off or maybe it does i don't know but i'll completely agree with incubus especially if you're talking about the make yourself album particularly drive love that tune :rolleyes:

I find myself listening to the prescibed pieces on the music course. I've really gotten into JS Bach and have gotten completely sick of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody

Of course I DESPISE Gerald Barry's monstrosity and i hope it dosent feature much on the paper... I'm not going to listen to and study something I truly hate, i refuse to put myself through excessive pain for the leaving cert
