Hey all! I'm in the process of revamping my music and I've got a lot of really great songs thus far to workout too. I got a little ACDC, Metallica, Korn, Aerosmith, Usher, No Doubt, Beastie Boys, Beyonce, and many more! But I still need some "get pumped" music. Any suggestions? I love all genres of music so don't be shy in your suggestions. Thanks folks!

    well i listen to a lot of NWA and Rancid. I like punk (real punk not the blink 182's) because the songs are short and i am not waiting for a song to change while struggling with whatever workout im doing :)

    Some specifics that make me push a little harder when they come on the IPOD:

    Drowning Pool - "soldiers"
    Lady Sovereign - "Public Warning"
    The Dollyrots - "Because I'm Awesome."
    Kevin Rudolph - "Let It Rock"

    Generally...

    Fatboy Slim
    Chemical Brothers
    Pink (especially Trouble & Feel Good Time - loads of kick-*kitten* attitude!)

    And when I really want to up the pace...

    Asian Dub Foundation: Real Great Britain
    Vampire Weekend: A-Punk
    Transglobal Underground: The Khaleegi Stomp (the fast version from Impossible Broadcasting)

    Maybe a bit too specific, but I can never tire of these songs - they just make me feel energised! :smile:

    I find listening to Nero very helpful!

    Also Britney Spears, can't go wrong there.

    Chicane - Saltwater and of course Survivor - Eye of the tiger (Rocky theme tune)

    I like to picture myself running up those steps with everyone cheering me on like Rocky in the film. Other songs I like to pretend I am filming a music video! Ha ha. Am I a weirdo? :laugh:

    Sometimes I like to go old school (well from well before I was born) with Jackson 5, ABC is a good song to get moving too.

    I'm going to throw some Britney and Prodigy on there though! Good call.

    Black Eyed Peas, All that Remains, The Prodigy, Madonna...

    Prodigy yes! It really spurs you on. I also find that when I play it in the car I need to keep checking my speed cos it always makes me drive too fast! Any music that makes you drive too fast has gotta be good for working out! :laugh:
