I'm on a mission to find new music...

Some of my favorite bands are

System Of A Down (Which may or may not be obvious by my username)
Alice In Chains
All That Remains
Nirvana
Marilyn Manson
John 5 (His "Beat It" cover is great to work out to)
Bullet For My Valentine
Children Of Bodom
Trivium
Coal Chamber

I have a few others, but I don't want a TL;DR post.

Just curious about what you listen to when you're working out.

    Anything with a fast tempo to keep me pumped! My daughter actually convinced me to try to work out to dubstep and it works!

    I like similar music myself. Rock/metal etc.
    Go listen to Gojira, they're an amazing band and their music is usually pretty fast.

    Nine Inch Nails, especially Downward Spiral or Pretty Hate Machine. Fast (mostly) and heavy. I also like to work out to With Teeth for personal reasons, but you may find that it'll help!

    It depends on what my mood is and what I'm doing :]

    If I'm lifting, then my music tends to be heavier and more metal-y, like Maximum the Hormone.
    If I'm doing cardio, I need something bright and happy to distract myself, like pop music or indiepop like MGMT.
    If I'm circuit training, anything goes!

    Dude, YES.
    Gojira - Vacuity is my strength training song, next to Tyler's Song by Coal Chamber


    Also, when I'm relaxing after a workout, I listen to Gone by Katatonia.. Peaceful.

    Totally weird, but I like Gangnam Style...LOL
    I also used to like (and still do) My Sharona and Eye of the Tiger. What can I say, I'm a tad eclectic...I will listen to anything that has a good beat.

    Another good album is from the movie "Mortal Combat"- tons of high-energy techno...

    A bit of everything.
    I like to get compilations of fast dance type music because they usually go for an hour or two.
    I'm notorious for skipping tracks on Pandora or my own iPod.

    I am all about the music that makes me want to break stuff.... LOL. I have a workout playlist on Spotify that gets me going!

    Disturbed (Down With the Sickness, Stupify)
    Nine Inch Nails (Closer, Head Like a Hole)
    Eminem (Lose Yourself)
    Outkast (B.O.B.)
    Rammstein (Du Hast)
    Drowning Pool (Bodies)
    Metallica (ummm... all of it!)
    Suicidal Tendencies (Institutionalized)
    Fatboy Slim (The Rockafeller Skank) -- I know. It doesn't really go with the rest of them, but I like it.
    House of Pain (Jump Around) -- See above.

    I also have some weird stuff that is motivating to me personally, but you wouldn't like it. So, the above are my recommendations.

    Led Zeppelin always gets me in the zone and gives me tunnel vision.

    Bullet for my Valentine always makes me want to get up and throw *kitten* around-quite useful


    I can't really imagine listening to J. Lo or Flo Rida(rider? meh) while working out. Don't get me wrong, it works great for the middle aged women gyrating their hips in the Zumba room, but I couldn't do it if I tried.
