iTunes just posted a playlist called “Pumping Iron.”
A mix intended to be played while–well–pumping iron.
Here it is:
Welcome to the Jungle - GnR
We will rock you - Queen
Crazy train - Ozzy
Start me up - Stones
Born in the USA - Springsteen
Lose yourself - Eminem
You’ve got another thing coming - Judas Priest
Eye of the tiger - Survivor
Bring the noise - Anthrax and PE
Mama said knock you out - LL Cool J
Voodoo child - Hendrix
Head like a hole - 9 inch nails
Even flow - Pearl Jam
Fight the power - PE
Fortunate son - CCR
Sabotage - Beastie Boys
What’s my name? - DMX
Bullet wiht butterfly wings - Smashing Pumpkins
Rebel yell - Billy Idol
Sleep now in the fire - Rage Against the Machine
Highway star - Deep Purple
BYOB - System of a Down
American Idiot - Green Day
Any Way you want it - Journey
Vertigo - U2
That’s a pretty politically correct mix. Most of them are the clean versions–can’t have that.
What’s your workout playlist? Here’s mine (ten songs for brevity’s sake)
I don’t give a fuck - Peaches
Hardest button to button - White Stripes
Sick boy - Social D
Let them eat war - Bad Religion
Three little birds - Bob Marley
C30, C60, C90 - Bow Wow Wow
Ah ha - Butthole Surfers
Straight to hell - The Clash
Black tongue - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Run - Snow Patrol
…That was kinda tough. I like a mix of fast and mellow. I was at one of Hank Rollins’ spoken word tours and he said he only listens to despressing love songs when he works out. Focusing on misery and pain helps his intensity apparently. Could be something to that…
That iTunes list isn’t really that bad. I’ve probably had about half of them on rotation at one time or another. Some of them I just don’t get, though, and fail to see how anyone could get amped listening to U2.
My gym playlist is always changing because after a few trips to the gym, some songs “lose their effect” and I need to switch it up. And other times I don’t need music so much as I just want my own music and not the gym’s radio. So I’ll just randomly play songs, not looking for any particular song to get geeked to.
The following songs seem to have some kind of energistic effect on me:
Daniel Beddingfield - Gotta Get Thru It
Drowning Pool - Step up
Rammstein - Du Hast
Snoop Dogg - Beautiful
Limp Bizkit - Red Light Green Light
Metalica - Fuel
ShineDown - Save me
ShineDown - Simple man
I’m looking for some new songs. Welcome for any additions. Anyone have any good techno groups? I like a hard driving beat to lift to but usually listen to softer stuff when running or doing cardio.
PANTERA, Living Sacrifice, Pre-haircut Metallica, I made my own ‘Best of Rage Against the Machine’, and Suicidal Tendencies ‘Prime Cuts’. I just want hard and fast, preferably no singing or somebody trying to hold a note (ballad).
Pig Latin - Dillinger Escape Plan with Mike Patton
Chasing Fear - Testament
The Code is red long live the code - Napalm Death
Dog Day - Gorefest
Vote with a bullet - C.O.C.
Part of me (live) - Tool
Rocket 88 - Warrior Soul
Monster - Beatsteaks
Flushings - Helmet
Knock me down - Chili Peppers
Duality - Slipknot
Primal Concrete Sledge - Pantera
Irrelevant thoughts - Prong
The mob goes wild - Clutch
Prong’s records ‘Beg to differ’ & ‘Prove you wrong’ might work well too.
