Rock music 'can make men lose at board games' - study

Men became more distracted and made more mistakes when forced to listen to AC/DC than when they listened to classical music, a report by London's Imperial College and the Royal College of Music found. Having music on had no effect on women and they performed better than men at the Operation board game involved in the study. It is thought that rock music may cause more auditory stress in men than women, which affects their concentration.
