So, I love listening to soundtracks while working on homework. I think it really helps me focus more. In a way, soundtracks are this age's "classical" music. But, they can also be quite diverse. So I now present to you 5 (of my favorite) soundtracks to listen to while trying to study for the next test, or just working on homework assignments.

1: TRON. By far, this is one of my favorite soundtracks to listen to while studying. It is diverse, so it is constantly engaging you. One second it can be a melody of strings, the next it's techno. Daft Punk did an amazing job with this soundtrack, and I'd highly recommend it: Plus, it's only $7.99 on amazon, so how can you go wrong? http://amzn.to/fyLlRk

2: Avatar: This is a very melodic soundtrack. It has it's "inspirational" section, but if you want to listen to something that is generally calming, this is the perfect soundtrack for you. It is kind-of a two-part soundtrack. James Horner tried to incorporate the "military/industrial" sound as well as the "jungle/peaceful" setting as well. I put this no. 2 because of the fact that with the stress alot of homework can bring, this will chill you out: http://amzn.to/h3GmWH

3: Any of the Lord of the Rings. Lord of the Rings had one of the most amazing scores I've ever listened to. It's constantly engaging and changes alot. It can be melodic, and inspirational at the same time. A must listen (although whichever one you choose, it sounds a bit the same. But my personal opinion is The Return of the King has the best of the three): Fellowship of the Ring: http://amzn.to/e2CjtR, The Two Towers: http://amzn.to/ijDrh9, Return of the King: http://amzn.to/hel4Fw

4: Alice in Wonderland (inspired by): Ok, this is an "inspired by" soundtrack, but it is well worth mentioning in this list. It is a vocal soundtrack (minus one song) but it is a very varied soundtrack. Alot of big artist composed this and has a lot of variety. It has a calm/pop tone to most of the songs, but it's well worth the getting: http://amzn.to/hNqjPT

5: Black Hawk Down: This soundtrack is well worth mentioning here. Composed by Hans Zimmer (one of my favorite composers), this is an excellent soundtrack. It has alot of middle-eastern influences in the overall theme of it, but it has some really good rock melodies. It's more of one of those rock-ish inspirational type of soundtrack, but hey, got to throw in some diversity to this list: http://amzn.to/eLOQgS
