Tugster Agreed. Listening to music and reading gets distracting for me. Especially if the music doesn't match with the mood...

      I usually listen to rock or metal, sometimes jazz, maybe classical, it just depends on my mood. I mostly listen to hard rock I guess. Bands like Stone Sour, Fozzy, Volbeat, Ghost, Red Sun Rising, etc. When I do, its just low volume in the background. Mostly to block out other household conversations and noises.

        sten to rnb,rap, beats by skrillex, DJ snake etc.I'll just post some of the stuff I listen to

          IIXXII I would listen to music but it distracts me from my reading and makes me feel less immersed.

            I listen to stuff like Kpop, Chinese music, Japanese anime openings, and some popular English pop songs. also movie soundtracks. and random stuff from like other things, like MLP soundtrack.

              Sometimes I do both
              But it ruining my imagination to the novel

                I love listening to Epic Music.

                My favorites are Strength of a Thousand Men, et al from Two Steps from Hell.

                There's also Hymn of the Apocalypse from Jo Blankenburg

                Some of the WoW background music is great, too.

                and

                to name a few~

                I usually just let it go on autoplay and treat it as background music,(I can't truly listen to it while reading) then when it becomes too distracting or if it becomes a different genre altogether, I stop.

                Anime opening songs are awesome, too!!
                Bleach, Naruto, Naruto Shippuden, Reborn, etc, love 'em.

                Neverfire7 great taste. I like the first one a lot.

                  Though I get bored after a week so I shuffle what I listen to

                  1.Ambient chillout
                  2.Music for writing by Levi Michael

                  3.Rainymood.com plus there's a playlist of rainymood songs on Youtube to complement
                  4.Indiefolk playlists by alexrainbird on Youtube
                  5.Epic Celtic music

                  Ik some of those have lyrics but when u turn the volume down slightly they become indistinct and the melody/beat takes over.

                  PS. MrSuicidesheep is awesome.

                  Enjoy.

                      Well this is embarrassing, the Music for writing series had the audio tracks removed cause of copyright issues.....soooooo no dice.
                      This is why I download stuff I love no matter how easy it is to access anytime. #moralofthestory
