    I can’t work to music I just find it too distracting. But watching 2 different episodes of American dad, whilst working? Not a problem

      The music for me can vary, i find music without lyrics is easier to concentrate with. Stuff that sounds classical or instrumental rock/metal is what i tend to play for concentration

          Try film scores. That’s what I use when studying for certification exams. I listen to Jóhann Jóhannsson, Hildur Guðnadóttir, Thomas Newman, Nick Cave, Nico Muhly, Max Richter, and of course some Hans Zimmer as well.

          Not OP, but instrumental metal for working: Karma To Burn, Red Sparowes, Pelican (Pelican can feel a little souless but that’s my opinion).

            For instrumental rock I like Nick Johnston’s work, IAH is also pretty good. Listened to a lot more artists when i was studying in college but have forgotten many of them.

            Justin Johnson is an instrumental blues/country/rock guitarist with a pretty wide range of sounds.

            For more classical style music I’ll often just find a playlist but the album that got me into that style was the Child of Light soundtrack by Couer de Pirate. Actually many video game soundtracks and artists are great instrumental music, work from Jeremy Soule is often relaxing and fantasy driven, Marty O’Donnell is known for his work on the Halo soundtracks and has some great instrumental/orchestral rock tracks.
