    Usually I'll listen to something in the background. Bands I've been listening to the most lately include foo fighters, paramore and blue october.
    In all honesty i wasn't sure if it was better listening to music or nothing during a grind. I was contemplating this thread earlier tonight whilst I had foo fighters on and decided to switch it for some classical music. (Beethoven Moonlight Sonata 10 hours so don't have to fiddle clicking on new videos) I actually found myself much more focused with it on and there were noticable improvements in my decision making and concentration levels. it served me well in my games tonight, and its something I'm definitely going to do more in the future. 
     Thanks for making this thread :-)

    pftt, what improvements. It's not like you won the roller or anything..... oh wait :p

    Well played! Think Percy is correct. Probably why I like listening to LOTR soundtrack and you did well listening to classical. Think anything with lyrics and you end up singing along in your head and not focusing enough!

    Trialing another French singer while I am playing. Will see how much it helps in a week or 2.

    Her name is Tal, very uplifting music although her music does make me want to pour a few drinks or hit a nightclub rather than play poker lol.

    Also I guess the 'eye candy' may be a little distracting...
