Looking for Albums to listen-to while studying.
 
I'm basically looking for music that is not very focused on the lyrics so it does not distract me from my work.
 
I would prefer them to have a bit of a "Fun" taste in order to ease stress, but I would except "Relaxing" music as well.

You are doing no favor to your studying or the music by trying to do both at the same time.
 
If you absolutely must have music on while reading, try listening to music with a fast surface (to stimulate the brain) and reasonably stable volumes/textures (to avoid the music breaking in on your concentration). I recommend either jazz (Keith Jarrett piano concerts are perfect) or some High Minimalism (such as Reich's Music for 18 Musicians). If you prefer popular music, try Jean Michel Jarre or (God help you!) some techno. But just don't do it.

I use instrumental or acoustics
 
Look up:
Toe - band. Japanese instrumental.
Crow'sclaw - one of my thinking band. If I need to think, put on Ketsubetsu and sit
Diana Krall - Live in Paris. Always liked it for some reason.
Incubus
Jackson Browne - skip his new stuff, sucks
Jimi Hendrix - Kinda hard, best if put through MONO
Classical, tends to you. I like Beethoven with isolating headphones.

I'm not sure I'd call these 'fun' albums, but definitely relaxing. No words (except some fragments on the gy!be album). I just graduated; these were the top albums I listened to (I think).
 
boards of canada - music has the right to children

 
emancipator - safe in the steep cliffs

 
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - F# A# infinity

 
helios - eingya

The only album I can study to (well, not study, make excersises) is And Their Refinement of the Decline by Stars of the Lid.

Classical Trancelations by Lowland have been with me for a few semesters when the library on campus gets too noisy. No lyrics to distract you and very relaxing classical versions of trance songs.

Try some Arvo Pärt. Relaxing, subdued, but also profound if you listen seriously. You can leave him in the background, but you'll also love him for serious listening.

Can't believe no one else asked this, but what general genre are you looking for?  I can think of music that would fulfill the criteria in almost every major genre.

Now don't laugh but try the old live albums from The Allman Brothers Band-"Live at the Fillmore" or "Eat a Peach"...... Now, only with the Volume just loud enough to hear it, not to start jamin' with it... Also Little Feat--- "Waiting For Columbus".........just try one of them.... They got me through school, barely!.... 37 yrs. ago
