Hi

    I listen to metal/techno when I run/workout so I'm probably not what you're looking for but I listen to DIO, Mobile Death Camp, Mindless Self Indulgence, Daft Punk, Sonata Arctica, Slayer, GWAR, etc. Something heavy and fast keeps me going.

    Specific Songs:
    Shut Me Up - Mindless Self Indulgence
    Full Moon - Sonata Arctica
    Rainbow in the Dark - DIO
    Sexicutioner - GWAR
    Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger - Daft Punk
    Vicious Smile - Mobile Death Camp
    Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden
    Raining Blood - Slayer

    Depends on my mood. If I'm feeling uber happy and energetic, upbeat latin-ish tunes (ex. Livin La Vida Loca). If I'm feeling angry I listen to fast and angry rock (certain Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, Korn, Disturbed) songs. Suring cool downs I listen to classical piano or chilled out mixes (Moonlight Sonata, or something like "Serene Dream" by Kidneythieves and "Honeythief" by Halou).

    I just made my high energy playlist this week, I have so far used it twice and it really is VERY good.

    (obv that's my own personal opinion I created a playlist that was supposed to see me through a 30 minute workout and it ended up at 5 and a half hours hehehe oops)

    I find I am motivated by a number of different musical styles, from rock and rap to soul and even a little Jazz music....my personal favourites of this week are; Anything by Tenacious D, Stevie Wonder "We can work it out", Nina Simone "I wish I knew how it feels to be free", David Bowie "Queen *****" and "Pacemaker" by Jamie T.

    Since I started working out regularly another source of motivation is the folk styling s of the Fleet foxes and Laura Marling (maybe I'm just a bit weird but when I do my yoga, I find Folk music is really helpful...)

    Anyway that's enough of a peak into my spooky world.....

    Hope you find some new music that suits you.

    TC

    Anthony.

    Muse is awesome, I work out to them as well. You are young, if you like Muse, you should listen to their inspiration...Radiohead, also amazing to work out to! I think you might like Radiohead if you haven't heard them. :smile: I Love to listen to Supernatural by Santana, great rhythms and beats to keep you movin' like crazy! Sometimes the Sound track from Moulin Rouge, and Gwen Stefani too.
