Classical for zerg...why did you even bother haha
Kpop sounds like an interesting choice, i really have shown a liking to it recently, but nothing beats the GSL playlist on grooveshark, always gets me pumped

That is why KPOP is so good, the lyrics are just like another instrument to me


That's technically true, unless you can actually understand Korean.

i always find that having some sort of rhythm really helps me to keep a beat and do things in order, regardless of the genre

Does anyone else listen to symphonic or cinematic music while playing? Epic film scores pump me up like no other for gaming. My SC2 playlist is along the lines of Two Steps From Hell, Hanz Zimmer, Howard Shore, E.S. Posthumus, etc...

I start off with slow and soothing music (Sigur Ros, Grand National, Clint Mansell). If I start to own the ladder, I pump it up and listen to head-banging rock (QOTSA, System of a Down, Foo Fighters).

I listen to dubstep. Not sure if it actually helps but it doesn't hurt

I don't listen to music the majority of the time I ladder, I actually turn of the BGM and only play with alerts and stuff.
Every once in a while I put on kpop and play to that.
MBC/Liquid/TSM always.

I just listen to whatever I'm in the mood to listen to. So that usually means some relaxing post rock/indie rock or some death/black metal. Honestly I rarely ever pay attention to the music except sometimes a really awesome solo or melodic hook catches my attention. It's really just something to help pass the time during the slow intros of matches for me.

I don't understand kpop. Why is there no punk rock or classical music options since those are the two best genres of music.

Kpop all the way. You want to be as imba as the koreans, you must start with their music first. I'm sure you won't be hearing Mozart if you visit the Ogs house.

Anyway on the serious side, I do think music with a quick tempo will speed up your play a little.
