    Sounds like we have the same playlist!!!!
    It depends on what I am in the mood for, but I have an "angry" playlist that I find I turn to most often for cardio stuff because it really keeps me going.It tends to be mostly rock stuff lately, although things like gangsta rap and alternative creep in. Tool, Mudvayne, Alice in Chains, Avenged Sevenfold, Soundgarden, Slipknot, Korn, Bullet for My Valentine, Chevelle, Deftones, Coheed and Cambria, Dream Theater, Eluveitie, Nightwish, Godsmack, NWA, etc.


    For cooldowns and more sedate walks, there's Ben Folds, Sade, Corinne Bailey Rae, Amanda Palmer, Erykah Badu, Emilie Autumn, Radiohead, Incubus, some classical stuff like Debussy.

    I adore music, and I try to change up what type I listen to every so often to keep my ears fresh and my mind open. :)

    Is that a playlist or some kind of mindless jibberish

    I alternate between letting Pandora do its thing and keeping my Spotify playlist updated:

    Usually listen to music that i know the lyrics to, something I find catchy, so i can distract myself with the lyrics by singing along in my head so the workout seems to just fly-by! especially running, it distracts me from checking my watch all the time.
    currently heavy metal (mostly metallica), some rock (think aerosmith) some indie pop (such as florence and the machine, marina and the diamonds (upbeat)) If i dont know the lyrics I dont workout well! :smile:

    I mostly listen to heavy metal when I workout because it makes me feel all angry inside, lol. Thus making my workout more intense. Woo hoo!

    My current favorite:

    I like "Hold On Shut Up" when I hit the treadmill. Gets me motivated!

    Mostly metal, a little hip hop thrown in. More metal though, the angrier the better.

    I also use Pandora. Depending on how I feel, I use electro-swing (e.g., Caravan Palace, Parov Stelar, Tape Five), jazz (e.g., Jean-Luc Ponty, Down to the Bone, Miles Davis), ambient/jazz (e.g., Erik Wollo, Ulrich Schnauss, Kit Watkins), 80s rock (e.g., Depeche Mode, Thomas Dolby, Bronski Beat), and a bunch more. Once in a while I'll kick in contemporary classical, like the work of Steve Reich and John Adams, with a smattering of Philip Glass.

    I usually just get on my 8tracks app and look up the genre I'm feeling that day.
    So, it really depends on my mood.

    I love 8tracks.com when I want to listen to music and I'm not sure exactly what I want to listen to....
    You can search playlists by tags and genre. And it's free.

    Most days I listen to 90's rock or Indie. Sometimes I'll be in the mood for a little R&B or rap. And on rare occasions I'll listen to Country.
