Hiphop baby. Choice cuts from the following artists: Dr Dre. MOP DJ Premier (lots of his beats) Mobb Deep Just Blaze beats Dipset
Oh, okay. Yeah, I agree with you, for me I don't really get pumped up from hip-hop...but I know a lot of people who do.
I couldnt think of anything that would get me pumping more than Dipset Anthem.... You can even lift in time with the beat!
Michael Bolton, Kenny G, John Tesh, Yanni, Zamfir That's about the best workout music you could possibly hope for.
The Crystal Method, Queens Of The Stone Age, The Chemical Brothers, www.happyhardcore.com or other up-beat trance. Probably couldn't workout to anything without bass (rock, trance, etc) ps; what's with the `reply' button? I have to `reply' to one of the above posts to get anything to work, even `go advanced'...?
Weezer or, one of the BBC Radio One Essential Mixes (Adam Freedland, for instance) The essential mixes are great because they are two uninterrupted hours of solid high energy music.
Most songs by Mindless Self Indulgence are perfect for lifting thanks to their cracked out beats and lyrics.
WOW. an industrial head! nitzer ebb! personally Ministry serves all of my industrial needs, although they're not so much industrial anymore. I listen to drum and bass all the time when I'm working out. but sometimes I'll switch it up and throw on some metallica, slayer, pantera. for hip hop the GZA liquid swords album is great. any of Notorious BIG's first 3 albums, or black moon.
Great workout song: Chemical Brothers - "The Boxer" with the lyrics "I can't seem to shake this feeling, I can't seem to put it down" it's like he's talking about the weights.
Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger Best workout song ever Here's a "video" of sorts: http://www.digitpress.com/media/workithigh.swf
I like the heavy stuff blasting thru my ipod to get my adrenaline rushing. Dark New Day - "Brother" Korn - "Did My Time" Mudvayne - "Not Falling" Linkin Park - "One Step Closer" Papa Roach - "Last Resort" Just to name a few.
I'm into soca for workout music. If you are unfamiliar, its soul-calypso and its from the island of Trinidad. Soca is a dance music so its high-energy. I like it better than hip-hop for workouts because the songs are usually about girls and dancing rather than some dude telling me about the last time he kicked somebodys @$$ and how big his rims are.
It's gotta be loud progressive metal and old school metal for both lifting and cardio!
