After an extended two-year period of working out to basically the same material on my mp3 player, looping the folder over and over, the songs no longer have the same effect... go figure. And so, I turn to you boys (and select females), for your advice. Can you recommend any new material to me? A random sampling of what's on my workout folder now: Jerk it Out - Caeser's Palace Ride - the Vines Song 2 - Blur Since You've Been Gone - Kelly Clarkson (why do I feel so embarrassed?) Get Free - the Vines Ready to Go - Republica Where are we Running - Lenny Kravitz Lose my Breath - Destiny's Child Mr. Brightside - the Killers Take it Off - the Donnas Hate to Say I Told you So - the Hives Are you Gonna be my Girl - Jet Sleep Now in the Fire - RATM So now you get the gist of the things I prefer, can anyone please help me? Please, no 80's tunes- they just don't *do* it for me. Thanks guys!
ur workout folder looks exactly like krbe's play list. As for me, I listen to Paul Oakenfold while I work out.
I know... It is only a sample; please don't judge me. It just so happens that some of these songs were the most effective. I didn't list all of them, partly out of shame. As for P.O., I have a couple of his on there...
everybody may hate him at the moment, but Workout Plan - Kanye West plus a few pissed off Creed songs gets me pumped (What If), along with Eminem (I Am)
on the way to our league basketball games (that's working out... right?) i listen to nothing but wu-tang. i have gza (tracks 1, 2, 3, 8, 11, 12 are best, but everything else still bangs hard) and dirty (tracks 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 13 are best, but others aren't too shabby either) are in the car right now. i know you say "songs", but the whole albums would get you pumped up for anything.
Yes, I'm pretty sure I'm gay, but I like working out to "Anything for love" by Meatloaf. 12 minutes of pure pleasure.
The guys I work out with like classic rock, mainly AC/DC, Black Sabbath, and Ted Nugent. gs, Considering what you listed, I probably won't be much help to you as I listen to entire albums; however, the first song off The Killers' album "Hot Fuss" is just as good as "Mr. Brightside", IMO. Also, a lot of the songs off "Source Tags & Codes" by And You Will Know Us by the Trail of the Dead Finally, considering all the other songs you have listed, I would add "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand, "Float On" by Modest Mouse, and "Evil" by Interpol.
Call me crazy, but I like to work out to really thunderous, intense symphony/orchestra music from soundstracks like LoTR and Gladiator.
"You're the best, all around Nothings ever gonna get you down You're the best, all around Nothins gonna ever get you down"- Karate Kid
Here's my current workout mix: Refused- New Noise (I could loop this song for an hour and get a good workout) Rage Against the Machine- Wake Up Rage Against the Machine- Calm Like a Bomb Faith No More- Midlife Crisis ACDC- Thunderstruck Motely Crue- Wild Side Greenday- Geek Stink Breath Greenday- Brain Stew Metallica- For Whom the Bell Tolls Metallica- Sanitarium Korn- Shoots and Ladders (guilty pleasure) Folk Implosion- Natural One
Yeah I mix it up between Oakenfold's "Tranceport" and Sasha and Digweed's "Northern Exposure III: Expeditions"
If I'm going to work out, there is only one song that will get me going. I put on my leg warmers and get after it with "maniac" by Michael Sembello.
