I find instrumental songs go best with studying, though I'm considered to have fairly odd musical tastes anyhow
Pretty much anything from this man's album:

I have to agree, i can't focus if my music has lyrics, that's why ambient or trip hop like Massive Attack is the best study technique for me  |

Maybe because specific genres and groups are ideal for specific situations, like studying. |

Doom, drone, sludge or black metal.
Most specifically in doom: Funeral or stoner. Raw black metal is great.
But really, anything works. In the end it all goes in one ear and out the other.

Mozart's piano trios/quartets/quintet in particular. Any classical-era chamber music, really. Music from outside of the classical period (Baroque, Romantic, etc.) tends to get a little distracting, though - there's exceptions, of course, but still |

It's not music, but here's what I sometimes like to listen to while I study...
http://www.youtuberepeat.com /watch/?v=TylvUGJIi_w
I get made fun of so bad for this... but seriously, there are no lyrics or melodies so it's perfectly non-distracting.... just pure, simple background noise. It really helps me to focus. Plus it's kinda cool having a pretend audience cheer you on while you study and master those difficult concepts... lolol
