    on the TV at the gym there is top 40 so Taylor swift etc but on my phone I listen to sabaton, sonata arctica etc.

    I don't really listen to specific bands while at the gym, i just make a playlist out of the more upbeat songs i normally listen to, no one wants to work out to a slow jazz style song

    I'm old. I listen to 70's prog rock on my phone. Mostly Yes.

    I never quite got the idea of special workout music. I want to listen to the same music I listen to any other time. I have one giant Spotify playlist and have no interest in having sublists for different "moods" or genres.

    I typically listen to old blues/finger pickers from the 30's and 40s, bluegrass, swing, and Elvis. Some of it is just not great for workout. Though I have listen to Edith Piaf while working on a few occasions and ...it worked.

    By the time that song's over, you'll mostly be done with your workout!

    Dance, tribal fusion

    sample?

    my interest is piqued.


    For me I rotate and flip flop between two play lists called grinder zone and kicking *kitten*

    anything modern/pop/hip hop/alternative/ etc etc goes into grinder zone

    and kicking a%% is anything metal rock or otherwise- it's not hard to see the breakdown here LOL

    My favorites this week:
    Sam Smith/Disclosure- Latch
    Ivy Levan- The Dame Says
    Mark Ronson- UpTown Funk
    Lady Soverign- Love me or Hate me (i know it's an oldy- it came back around)

    My other play list
    OTEP- Apex Predator
    *kitten*- In this Moment

    Anything by 3 days grace stained or trapt- or tool- also breaking benjamin
    Five finger death punch and Rolling stones- Paint it black is in there too- because- why not.

    I don't NEED my music to workout- but I do enjoy having it- but honestly it's more for my resting than my lifting- I don't really hear the music when I lift.

    I watch netflix when I do cardio- so no music there.

    Most of the time is metal but from time to time i'll switch things up and put on some hip hop.
