Post Your Favourite Workout Tracks! (w/ Youtube links)

[IronGlider]

So, I've started rebelling in this community for just under 2 weeks now, and (like most people) love working out to music. I was writing this list for another user, when I realized I would love to know what everyone's been listening to...

 

There's got to be a thread here about it, but I can't find any, so I decided to make a new one!

 

Here are some of the tracks this week that I've been listing to!

 

(TIP: Try to post the youtube link, following brackets of reasons why you like the track. Why? Curiosity, my friend, curiosity... :-)

 

Here's mine!

I'll make future posts with other music I'm listening to if this is a popular thread!

 

Get posting people! :-)

The Katamari Damacy soundtrack.  Every time I hear it, I know it's time to start rolling!

Whoah, what did I just expose my ears to? It's... BEAUTIFUL!

Some of my personal favorites:

[IronGlider]

Thanks for sharing Merrye, you're a (thoughtful) star! 

 

I've heard of this game from a friend but I've never played it, sounds great!

 

Gonna have to find these tracks on amazon but I'll be sure to listen to them whilst exercising, I like discovering new stuff, esp. when I have context for why people like them! :-)

This one came up on my Irish playlist today during squats (PR btw).

Lol thanks, the lyrics are hilarious! :-p

So... I know mine is weird, and will probably only actually work for another month or so. Having gone through an awful breakup recently, those sappy love & loss songs (Country's bread and butter) don't make me all weepy like they should. They make me PISSED OFF!!!

 

So I channel that energy into strength training. (I probably don't want to think too hard about how many "positive" things in my life are secretly fueled entirely by rage.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WEpLzsdEeY (I have a grooveshark playlist with dozens of songs of this ilk. These in particular build up a lot of restless energy that I want to pull my pull up bar off the door... However, I don't weigh the 300 lbs required to do that. So I end up just pulling myself up... which is kinda the point.)

 

Under normal circumstances: I know he's been around a while so probably not a new revelation to many people, but If you can't get pumped to Joe Satriani, you have a leak and need to get that checked.

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoERl34Ld00 (When I'm relieving for the Yankees, this will be my entrance music)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUGaQU0yTPA

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLPWnH0cECw (Anything done to this guy's music instantly becomes epic)

[Minty Keen]

Right now I'm loving this song. by these people. Cuz I looooove PTX. In fact, when I'm not working out, I dance in my chair to this song. So it's extra effective.

PTX makes a great song even better.

@ECBlank Wow! Thanks for introducing me to Joe Satriani! He's freaking awesome! (plus his album cover has a silver surfer-like glider dude! What's not to like ;-)

 

@FaceThatMeows lol A friend of mine would love this track + great music + video thanks for sharing! :-)

That's a pretty typical selection, depending on mood. Sometimes I need to hear loud and angry, other times I'm not in the mood to hear songs, just music.

[Estrix]

My two most current favourites:

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti0Z57WO34Y Amon Amarth "Live for the Kill"

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAnjfIMAl20 Manowar "Sons of Odin"

 

Pretty typical I feel.

I'm currently rocking a really random mix of stuff, so thought I'd post the next 5 tracks that pop up on my Shuffle:

 

Pearl Jam - Spin the Black Circle

Rammstein - Mein Teil

Tenacious D - To Be The Best

Sudakistan - Dale Gas

Trent Reznor, Dave Grohl & Joshua Homme - Mantra

 

There's a lot of rock (of all kinds) on there, but there's also a fair whack of hip hop, dance etc.  And thanks to this thread, I've discovered some new stuff

[Frost of the Gloaming]

Nekrogoblikon - Crickets http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-rXYrU2VyY

[iatetheyeti]

I have quite a random mixture on my workout playlist, including current favourites:

 

Burn it Down by SiMS (gets the blood going)

Helicopter Chase by John Murphy (good for when you need speed)

Shoot to Thrill by AC/DC (playing this while lifting makes you instantly awesome, honest )

Still Alive (because GLaDOS)

We Are Rebels by Alice in Videoland (found it on a biking video, good motivator)

 

And I think I'm going to have to steal some of the music already posted on here. Love finding new workout songs

Not music, can't find it on YouTube, but http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/songmaster-orson-scott-card/1100355009?ean=9780786156696

 

I got tired of music dictating my pace!

It depends ... for running, I like tracks like

 

 

Dancing ... practice is very traditional bagpipes ...

 

 

But sometimes I mix it up:

It just depends on my dancing mood
