    Born of Osiris has fuelled my last three days of lifting PRs.

    It depends on what I'm doing. If I'm doing strength training I listen to rap or rock. When I'm on the elliptical I watch wrestling.

    None at all. I find music to be an incredible distraction.

    Why is this a debate?

    Because someone is bound to pop up recommending some horrible *kitten* Jethro hillbilly country garbage, and then we can break out the nooses and pitchforks.

    Heaven Shall Burn or Whitechapel for lifting, unless I'm in a hardcore mood then it's Earth Crisis, early Snapcase, Sick of it All or Agnostic Front.

    For cardio I like it more melodic like In Flames. Dark Tranquility is good for pushing that last mile, especially Lost to Apathy or Focus Shift.

    Depending on my mood. Either Christian Rock, country, or Daughtry.

    I like to mix it up but two songs I really groove to when I'm walking are "The Thong Song" & "Bad Girlfriend" :D

    Studio Killers and Ninja Sex Party. Always a good time, and the NSP songs are short enough that I can time my runs with walking breaks into a playlist

    I used to listen to music, now I lift in silence (I lift at home so it's possible).
    That way I can completely focus on what I'm doing, and be mindful.

    Anything with a decent "beat" to it - Queen, Bon Jovi, Ultravox, Adele, Alannah Miles, David Bowie, Enrique, Def Leppard . . . I also like rock, in case you hadn't guessed :)

    I have a short workout playlist that changes constantly for walking at lunch for work, this is what's on it now: Sabotage(Beastie Boys), Pretty Fly for a White Guy(The Offspring), Monster(Skillet), Hardcore(Reignwolf).

    For longer workout at home, I like the full album experience, or a playlist from one artist. Currently into The Pale Emperor from Marilyn Manson, Awake and Comatose from Skillet, and a Lady Gaga compliation that includes Born This Way, Teeth, Bad Romance, Schiebe, Love Game, and Poker Face. Also occasionally revisit my youth with Anthrax, Metalica and Nirvana.

    I was liftng a few days ago and I had a CD on ( I know - as CD how quaint )
    It was an old mixed CD and I put it on to see what was on it.
    First few tunes are excellent - Pantera, Kid Rock, Eminem all really crunchy aggressive stuff.
    So I let it run.
    I'm benching, I'm struggling onmy last few reps, I'm really struggling on my last and what comes on the CD?
    Beth by Kiss - that is NOT song to push out a final rep to.
    But now, we know!

    ABBA! I can't not skip to Take a Chance on Me when I'm walking. Also, My Darkest Days Porn Star Dancing is great and All I do is Win, and Eminem 8 mile. Oh gosh...so many good ones.

    Break out the pitchforks, folks. I have to have instrumental so that I can count laps for distance (I don't have a snazzy GPS or step calculator) so I go with Chopin and Vivaldi. XD
