Concentration Music

What music would you say helps you concentrate when you are doing boring tasks?

Even though you can't hear whatever the hell the person is singing, I kind of like death metal in a casual sense -- because of the quickness and organized rythm of the drums mostly. It actually works pretty well for me when I'm doing some mundane task like filing schoolwork away or making a database in excel..

Just wondering about this.

Mostly rave/techno, or some easy listening. Maybe even some hard rock for studying.  :P

I was never able to read or write anything original while listening to music, so I've always popped in some Mozart for those occassions.

But while I'm working, I have alot of different tastes to help me through.  I like Latin music, or Tool if it's especially boring.
