I make better decisions with no music but it gets boring. Usually listen to electronic, trance or just Stephano's playlist.

For me instrumentals are the best. Different kinds of epic classical music, such as the kinds they use in action movies.

One that I love is "In the Hall of the Mountain King" from Peer Gynt. In situations where I'm trying to do a lot of things at once, the climax at the song's end helps move me faster. When that climax comes in at moments when I'm not doing alot though it makes me misclicks things.

I deffiantly thinks its help, looking back I can see myself losing and then going mad after a loss in quietness but when the music is playing in the background I just get on with it!

Think all types can be good but not depressing sad songs lol

for exmaple ive got The Who paying on random lol

Trance has a nice steady beat and is usually quite soothing and keeps me relaxed so that I can think. My playlist usually consists of trance + chillstep (chill dubstep)

in my opinion, if you are looking to help your play with music,
you should choose songs that match ur "tapping routine" tempo.
The song should have a constant and fast beat so you can hit the macro keys at the tempo of the song.
if i listen to calm music while playing i get the icefinger syndrome (known by all players who live in cold countries )


however, its true music can make you miss Nydus or Nuclear Alerts which is VERY annoying :p

I used to listen to heavy rock/metal when i played zerg, then i did an experiment the other day to see how music affects my winrate. Kpop improves my winrate by atleast 15% over longer ladder sesions 0.o

Wait, the question was about music, why there is K-pop?

I listen mostly to rock music (all kinds).
There are no boundaries, that's the final conclusion.

asking what genre's the best to listen to when playing a certain race is really silly

Instrumental music, by far the best choice. Currently i'm only listening to "spacesynth" , it's a melodic electronic style.

Of course, this guy has awesome tracks: http://soundcloud.com/rt24 , very nice for starcraft imo
