Anybody recommend good music for listening to in the gym?

MacAttack84

Hi, just wondering what kind of music people listen to in the gym to motivate them.... recently i've been listening to rage against the machine and queens of the stone age but getting sick of them now and running (quite literally) out of ideas of who / what to listen to!

Yeah RATM is a favourite of mine.

Death Magnetica is a perfect gym album imo, as well as Back in Black.

Yeah ratm are real good for crosstrainer and rowing i find, need something new tho! dont know if i'd be into death magnetica - they anything like ratm?

I usually just listen to the music that's on the PA system - which means a mix of Pop and Commercial Dance. I'm very into my music, but I find that the cheesy stuff works best for motivation.

the_syco

Most stuff: Manowar, Black Label Society, etc.
Rowing machine, weights, etc: Hatebreed, or Pantera.

my gym usually has pretty poor music on - wouldnt motivate you at all - even at that its always real low and with all the machines on you cant hear a thing!

Must give these a go, i'd say pantera would be pretty good to pump you up alright!

Loomis

Guyz Nite - Die Hard

If you listen to this, you have to shout "Yippee-ki-yay, mother****er!" along with the lyrics

zzzz zzzz zzzz

I love all 3, specially the icelandic weirdos but christ would ya not be nodding off on the bench during sigur ros or looking for a noose to hang yourself off the power rack during DcfC.

cardio,shoot me

Disturbed,Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth,Powerman 5000,Rammstein. They get me through my day.

Davaeo09

Disturbed, RATM, System of a down, and some rap can be good. :pac:

Oh and Jimmy eat world

Dovers

I like Kasabian. And lately, strangely enough, I'm finding eighties power ballads are heping me push out those last few reps?! But disregard that second bit I think its just a phase im going through

not gonna lie, there are some good 80's power ballads out there and they are surprisingly good motivators! real up tempo!

Vamoose Killers

I usually can't lift a thing if something like RATM is playing.

I'd go for stuff like this usually:

Rammstein
Speedy J
Modeselektor
Orbital
Strapping Young Lad
Trentemoller
Vitalic

Bayne

I can't listen to any music while I'm lifting. It totally ruins my concentration. I'm bad enough at keeping track of reps and breathing without music blasting into my ears!

But for cardio I listen to some Metal.

qt9ukbg60ivjrn

The Crystal Method

Some inCubus songs

Davei141

Static X - wisconsin death trip
Sasha - Involv2er

Smellyirishman

Not for everybody but I find DevilDriver to be the pinnacle of gym music (mixed in with some of the other suggestions). Unfortunately, my iPod seems to have been misplaced and I've been without music on the move for about 3 weeks .

Parsley

Rammstein!! Killswitch Engage are good too.

Hawk Wing

I like Metal and rock but cannot stand it when I'm lifting.

Auldloon

Panthera, SOAD and slipknot. Stopped listening to music in the gym about a year ago though, but it is a home gym so little distraction other than herself:p

colman1212

DMX is unreal music for the gym.
Specially his song called intro. It's chuck liddels entrance song in the UFC.

ronbyrne2005

Find things like RATM and rap good. Soem house and techno and electronica trcks are good for gym. I hae a big pick n mix on my player.

Sr. Pirotecnic

for running The Clash works well for me

PJaysus

agree with you there, clash is great for running to. Good anytime really.

I also find that movie compliation albums are good. An old favorite is "Trainspotting" soundtrack.

I used to live in Bavaria, and ran for ages in the forests with a sony walkman cassette player (which was about the size of a small brick) straped to my waist, and Pulps "Mile High" blasting in my ears. Ah good times

Flosco

LCD Soundsystem - Sound of silver

Mars Bar

The Ramones are good, fast and short songs.
I like a bit of Spin Doctors too.
Meat Loaf
Status Quo

I usually stick mine on shuffle and if the song is slow, I just skip to the next one...

rainbow kirby

For running - Apocalyptica's most recent album (Worlds Collide) is one of my favourites. Other stuff I like as workout music includes Arch Enemy, Korpiklaani, Amon Amarth, Dream Theater, Mastodon, Pantera, Slayer, Gojira, Fear Factory...

Sleepy

Nothing better for the gym than the Rocky sound-track...

Eminem- Til I Collapse (some remix i picked up)
Go To Sleep
AC/DC
Tiesto-Powermix
DMX
Lil Wayne-300 Brolic
Papa Roach-Last Resort

Bit of a mix up there but i get bored with my music easily

JohnnyMustang22

A mix of Smashing Pumpkins harder tunes
Paul OakenFold - Transport

Faithless.

I just bought one of those Cheesy Gym Mixes off Itunes. But got bored of it after 2 listens.

I find the best thing for Cardio is listening to something decent on my ipod then putting on the TV which normally has something like these on.

I can go for miles while watching videos like these....:D
