Most things distract me too much. I find I can listen to Florence and the Machine and stay focussed. I like prog and metal alot but if I listen to that I won't revise well.
Classical music is good for revising imo, only problem is that my classical music collection is laughably small (only a few "100 classical hits" sort of things). Classic fm or Spotify annoy me due to the ads.
If I'm the only person in my house I can get away without needing music, but if there are other people I'd rather listen to soothing music than them.
