When I first started the gym, I didn't have an ipod/mp3 player etc. to listen to my own choice of music - BIG mistake given the cr*p they played there!

Anyhoo - I soon learned and had a variety of tunes that I liked to listen to.

At the moment I've a set of tunes that I specifically like to listen to when running... stuff I listen to has pretty much a fast beat and helps me to keep pace - quite a mishmash as you'll be able to see...

Destination Eschaton - The Shamen
Thunderstruck - ACDC
I'm The Doctor - Motorhead
My Favourite Game - The Cardigans
Breaking The Law - Judas Priest
Heatseeker - ACDC
Funky *kitten* - The Prodigy
Stop The Rock - Apollo 440
Trippin On Ecstasy - Warrior Soul
Run (I'm A Natural Disaster) - Gnarls Barkley
Oxygène, Pt. X - Jean-Michel Jarre
Ace Of Spades - Motorhead
Hey Boy, Hey Girl - The Chemical Brothers
Behind The Crooked Cross - Slayer
Overkill - Motorhead
Ghost Busters - Xentrix
The Heretic Anthem - Slipknot
Motorhead - Motorhead
People = *kitten* - Slipknot

Any thoughts folks? And what do YOU like? If there's any you post that I reckon can be added to my list, then I'll be very pleased!

:smile:

    I love to run to Lady Gaga. Something about the beat of her songs really pumps me up - NOW, everytime I hear her, I want to run! LOL

    I find it has to be music that is fast or otherwise I slow down. Mostly it is Sugarland.I also like to listen to podcasts like Dave Ramsey to get financially fit-Car talk on NPR to laugh my butt off while walking or biking and Manic Mommies for my family fix.

    I listen to a bunch of pop as my kids like it and they have it. You're kind of hard rock guy so... what about some alice cooper, scorpions, bon jovi has some stuff, poison.

    I listen to just about everything when i run. For a shorter, more intense run I'll go with Tool, lady gaga, buckcherry, jet or pink. For longer more steady runs, I found some classics like the beetles or led zeppelin are great.

    I've only just started running so I've picked out 'Running Trax 2' by Ministry of Sound. The download version has three mix tracks of an hour long and they're fabulous. I really need that constant beat to run to.

    I just used to listen to a mixture of stuff when I used to go to the gym. Anything from heavy metal to alternative rock.

    great choices!!!

    As for Rage Against The Machine - I may just have to add "Killing In The Name Of" and "Bombtrack" to my list too! :)

    Hmm... and maybe "Sabotage" by the Beastie Boys too?

    I have the first "Running Trax" one... again, three mixes... Ideal for running to a good beat. May have to get the second one too. :smile:

    I listen to HipHop/Gangsta Rap when lifting weights (slow repetitions) however listen to hardcore techno when doing cardio work.

    Have to say, I hadn't heard of 'em - so thanks to Youtube I had a listen to "Moar Ghosts N Stuff" - am impressed! I can see that there's a good beat going on... and very much like DaftPunk! :smile:
