Workout soundtrack
I usually listen to Pandora on my cell phone while I'm working out, and I usually love it. I have a Lady Gaga station that plays Katy Perry and Kesha and a bunch of other female pop singers... The downside is that I don't really have much control over the songs beyond skipping, so I'm trying to make a playlist.
So what kind of music do you listen to while you work out? Who's in your playlist? |
I only use my own playlists and I am all over the place. Here are some of the songs I listen to:
One Step Closer - Linkin Park Riot - Three Days Grace Black Horse & The Cherry Tree - KT Tunstall Come As You Are - Nirvana Runaway - Bon Jovi (great for running) Generation - Simple Plan Outlands - Tron Legacy OST I need fast and powerful songs for my workouts. I am always looking for more... |
My workout mix is all over the place too, but the mix of different types of music works well for me. I add and delete songs often, but my current playlist is below. I'm always looking for new stuff too!
josey, try: The Pretender and Everlong (the regular version, not the acoustic one) by Foo Fighters; Sex On Fire by Kings of Leon; Shake Me Down by Cage the Elephant (a good song that really builds in intensity); I Was A Teenage Anarchist by Against Me! (not exactly powerful, but fast and fun); Gasoline by The Airborne Toxic Event (same as previous); and Land of Confusion by Genesis (an oldie but a goodie!). Rolling In The Deep by Adele I Was A Teenage Anarchist by Against Me! Gasoline by The Airborne Toxic Event Changing by The Airborne Toxic Event Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) by Beyoncé Shake Me Down by Cage The Elephant Hang Me Up To Dry by Cold War Kids Dog Days Are Over by Florence + The Machine Cosmic Love by Florence + The Machine The Pretender by Foo Fighters Everlong by Foo Fighters Word Forward by Foo Fighters Pumped Up Kicks by Foster The People Land Of Confusion by Genesis Holiday by Green Day Amsterdam by Guster And We Danced by The Hooters Since U Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson Mr. Brightside by The Killers All These Things That I've Done by The Killers When You Were Young by The Killers Radioactive by Kings Of Leon Crawl by Kings Of Leon Sex On Fire by Kings Of Leon Paparazzi by Lady Gaga Bleed It Out by Linkin Park What I've Done by Linkin Park Long Day by Matchbox Twenty Kids by Mgmt Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson Little Lion Man by Mumford & Sons Young Blood by The Naked And Famous Your Love by The Outfield Sober by P!nk Youth Of The Nation by P.O.D. 1901 by Phoenix Burning Down the House by Talking Heads And She Was by Talking Heads Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes |

I normally go for the iTunes top 100-type of music.. the dance-y stuff you'd hear in a club. Those beats get me running and cycling faster than the more musically-talented stuff like Adele (though I love her too!)

Also whenever these threads pop up I select a few from it ... Thanks to all the posters here ... I love the "Land of Confusion" perfect addition to my 80s/90s playlist ... also the Cage the Elephant song .... love it ...

When I work out, I tend to listen to some intense music to keep me going! On a regular day, not working out, I listen to more chill music so it's a total change of pace for me when I go work out and listen to music. On my playlist I always include:
Linkin Park (any song, really) Hollywood Undead (again, any song) Afrojack - Bangduck Bloody Beetroots - Warp 1.9 Afrojack - Pon Di Floor Designer Drugs Datamix mixtapes (1-9) Tiesto's ClubLife podcast (any of them - subscribe via iTunes) Lil Wayne's album - I am not a human Passion Pit 3OH!3 album "Want" I don't have an actual playlist, I usually just decide what I wanna listen to as I start, each time it's different or just on shuffle. Hope I gave you some good ideas though! :) |
