help with a motivation mix cd??

[silvermoonfairy3]

My SO is defending his PhD thesis in a couple weeks, and he's super stressed. He listens to music when he works sometimes to keep him motivated.

Anyone have any suggestions for great "studying" songs? I know some that I wanna put on there, but I'd also be interested to hear suggestions. He listens to a variety of genres, so anything goes! What d'ya got?

I like studying/relaxing to the Piano Guys - they do covers of popular songs with a cello and piano. Or, my friend told me about www.calm.com which, although not for CDs, provides a sound and visual component that would allow me to "de-stress" as I worked on my Master's thesis. It has a smartphone app on the website, as well.

I sued to study to Einaudi, maybe a bit too relaxing though.

And my personal favourite: W.A.S.P. - I Wanna Be Somebody
