Songs for the gym

[BWebb]

Need song suggesting for my playlist while I'm at the gym. Give me as many as you like, something upbeat of course. I will download and make a playlist out of them.

[Tyler Durden]

Good thread, I could use some suggestions also.

How about Master of Puppets by Metallica.

[DangerGoodson]

Daft Punk "Around the world"
Starts all my workout playlists.

[tolbiny]

[censored] that:

Eye of the Tiger to start.

[KDawgCometh]

I like to put on heavy rotations of Zeppelin and the WHO( Quadrephenia is teh best for workouts)

[Gin 'n Tonic]

Stiff Little Fingers - 'At The Edge'

[bugstud]

Machine Head - Ten Ton Hammer
Spineshank - Synthetic
Down - Pillars of Eternity
Clawfinger - Biggest and the Best
Slipknot - My Plague

[tworooks]

how bout some avril lavigne. get some "skater boi" and "im with you" flowing, and you will have a good work out. also another one to look at is "since you've been gone" by kelly clarkson.

[tolbiny]

The who def have some good workout tunes- toss in Bad and Beat by the pedophile aswell.

[yanicehand]

When I go to the gym I make sure my ipod shuffle is stuffed with hardcore, metal, screamo, etc. Nothing like angst/hatred/screaming/double bass to get you pumped.

Atreyu - Bleeding Mascara
Atreyu - Lip Gloss and Black
Killswitch Engage - Rose of Sharyn
Unearth - The Great Disaster
From First to Last - My Heart Your Hands

you'll love it.

[Richie Rich]

You need some angry music with a strong beat...something to get you pumped up and pissed off. Rage Against The Machine is a good bet.

[InchoateHand]

I listen to Social Distortion at the gym. Not exactly upbeat, but at the end of a long session "Ball and Chain" sounds about right. I don't go to the gym often.

[LethalRose]

Heres my current one. Sorry for format its off my mp3 player.

This is going to get a big laugh, but the best work out songs are from old 60's and 70's t.v. shows. Those songs were really dynamic. And some of the other best work out songs are actually really sucky and/or almost embarassing to think people would figure you're into. The songs I'm thinking of are at just the right pace for shadowboxing/kickboxing. High energy pace and some really key phrases that it's hard to kick fast enough to match.

Hawaii Five-O is the best shadowboxing/kickboxing song of all time. If you can keep up that pace creatively, you'll be pushing yourself to the limits.

Mission Impossible is also great. Both those songs have a high macho factor too, so they really get you worked up on that level too.

I think the theme from Peter Gunn was also great, but can't remember it at the moment LOL.

And another great work-out song is the theme from Rocky. It's so corny you might wince while it plays, but if you get over yourself it's a great work out song.

So is the Christopher Cross song that I think is called Ride Like the Wind, or anyway has that as one of the choruses in it. It hate Chris Cross, but there's a part where he's doing some kinda Doo doo doo dooo, doot doot doot doooo business that's really fast and rhythmic. Kicking on each one of those will send your heart rate to the moon. Plus afterwards you can make gay love to the album cover or whatever lol.

Nine Inch Nails has some good pacing too, but they're really depressing and stop and go with the pace a lot.

Finally, try cartoon theme songs from the 60's. They're hilarious and upbeat. Superchicken will give you a heart attack and almost undoubtedly kill you, the Jetsons is good.

[RunDownHouse]

Pantera
Full Devil Jacket
Opeth
Chevelle
2Pac - Hit 'Em Up

Keep it loud, keep it angry.

[mason55]

Guns n Roses is obviously the correct answer.

[Rick Diesel]

Nothing gets me more fired up at the gym than Last Resort by Papa Roach. Also as another poster suggested, Till I Collapse by Eminem is another one high on my playlist.

Rick Diesel

[gamblore99]

gwen stefani - what you waiting for, rich girl
lincon park - the angst filled songs (like all of them i think)

[thatpfunk]

Why is everyone so angry when they're working out? I enjoy myself and like upbeat music.

[JaBlue]

eye of the tiger

[Edge34]

Lethal,

Milkshake makes me want to kill myself. Its ridiculous. "My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard..." Whatever, Kelis. That and Clocks drive people to alcoholism...

However, your playlist redeems itself with two of my current workout favorites - 45 and Bottom Of A Bottle.

Other songs:

Sugarcult: Bouncing Off The Walls, She's The Blade, Pretty Girl (The Way)

3 Doors Down - pretty much anything

Simple Plan - I'd Do Anything

50 Cent - Disco Inferno

AC/DC - Thunderstruck

Crossfade - Cold

[Boris]

Ozzy during the Randy Rhodes era.

[thatpfunk]

I think I'd rather hang myself than listen to Simple Plan.

Makes Kelis sound good.

That is literally impossible.

That Simple Plan song I listed is just a kinda driving song. That's really the only reason I included it. The Sugarcult was the main addition. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

One other I forgot to add from my list is Forty Foot Echo - Save Me.

[istewart]

Recommending Simple Plan is seriously -EV.

you may want to try the stuff off of my list, they're kinda harder stuff but not obscenely so. Crossfade is good stuff.

I love it. I get torn apart for Simple Plan, while Rich Girl and Sk8ter Boi go unnoticed.

FWIW, I did say it was just there because it was a driving, uptempo song. And its approximately 10^340928523 times better than Milkshake.

[Jack of Arcades]

Milkshake is such a goddamned awesome song.

I do believe I already implied that you were deaf in another one and had the ultimate sarcasm backfire of all time...so I'm going to have to wonder about your judgment on this one...

[BWebb]

Just wanted to say thanks for all the suggestions. Downloaded most of what I saw on here and they all kicked ass. Good stuff.

[Phoenix1010]

My workout playlist which has barely changed through the years:

1. The Mortal Kombat theme song (the Test Your Might one)
2. Eminem- Run Rabbit Run
3. Queen- Another One Bites the Dust
4. Limp Bizkit- Break stuff
5. Drowning Pool- Let the Bodies Hit the Floor
6. Linkin Park- One Step Closer
7. LL Cool J- Mama Said Knock You Out
8. Jadakiss- Blood Pressure
9. Eye of the Tiger
10. Steppenwolf- Born to be Wild
11. Queen- We are the Champions

Always keeps me pumped, and the order of the tracks keeps me in the right mindset for the different stages of my workout.

[ijwaef]

Hmm, anything I can do to avoid reading for Economics.
Some older stuff, but damn good.

Hemlock- The Sky Is Falling
Project 1- Reduce and Humble
Otep- T.R.I.C.
System of a Down- War?
Spineshank- Asthmatic
Soilwork- The Flameout
Reveille- Untied, Flesh and Blood
no one- Down On Me
Mudvayne- Dig, Death Blooms
Killswitch Engage- Life to Lifeless
Hatebreed- Healing to Suffer Again, Below the Bottom
Atreyu- Deanne the Arsonist
American Head Charge- Pushing the Envelope
40 Below Summer- Step Into the Sideshow

[Dangergirl]

This might be a girl thing but I like to listen to upbeat club music at the gym.

[Dex]
