pump up music

anything by rage against the machine. drum n bass it good to work out to, especially if you're doing cardio. try:
Pendulum - Slam or tarantula
any rap or hip hop. Tupac is good, so's chamillionaire. anything with a pumped up beat. come to think of it, 8 mile soundtrack is usually what i listen to in the gym. not the crappy dance music they put on mtv.
 
At my gym we had XM radio but it was first come first serve and you had to ask everyone if you wanted to change the channel (always a compromise). Once, around Christmas time, me and a friend were going in around 11:00 pm to workout, one other guy was in there listening to Christmas music (great workout music....NOT!), we asked if we could compromise and he was like No way! So we started going in about 15 minutes before him and playing the hardest death metal we could find. He never asked us if he could change the station (he knew better...he he) and it wasn't long before he wasn't there anymore. Now I workout at home and get to choose what I like, Metalica, Crystal Method, anything loud, fast and with a good beat (right now I'm kind of partial to "Disturbed" uuuWA A A A A A !).

I'd suggest a few of these songs to pump you up in the gym.

Very good stuff!
 
I might be the only one but I don't put any music on for lifting, I find it too distracting and makes my workout take longer. Sometimes I listen to music during cardio.
 
Wow! Lotsa angry music here. I love classic rock, but I find my self singing along too much. I fell off the rock/rap bandwagon years ago, so my taste for lifting and cardio is progressive. Lately, lotsa Gabriel & Dresden, new Digweed cd, Paulo Mojo, various essential mixes from Radio 1, Above & Beyond, Nick Fanciulli, other random mixes I download, like Global DJ Broadcasts from Miami. It just gets me zoned into a rhythm. And if it ain't proggy, then keep it funky! Parliament, Sly Stone, and Jamiroqui ring a bell.
 
So far the best bands have been Atreyu and SOAD; anger is hands down the best motivation. I would add in some songs from Kamelot, Stratovarius, Disturbed, and maybe Drowning pool or Finger Eleven.

Plus there is a great side effect of angry music when working out...it inevitably causes you to look pissed off and no one comes near to touching your equipment till you are completely done with it ^^
