I vote for the new Metallica Album. It makes me want to break my pedals.
I agree. Death Magnetic is pretty darn good, minus the clipping issues. I saw them on tour in October and they still bring it pretty hard. I hope they hang on for a few more years and put out another album like DM.
Nine Inch Nails’s ‘Ghosts I-IV’ works well (for me) for both run & cycle training, indoors or out. Then again, pretty much anything NIN works well for my training.
Violent femmes
Ramones
Metallica
Rocky themes ( i know gay)
Lil Wayne
Elvis
Just some of my ipod artist

It depends on what kind of training i’m doing. My heavy weight lifting music is a little bit different from the rest! I listen to something easier on the first half of runs or trainer rides, and switch it to the harder music to bring it home fast.
Sevendust
Killswitch Engage
DMX
K-OS
Anything badass really.
When exactly did DMX become badass?
Pfff… Everyone knows that Simon & Garfunkle are the heavyest of the heavy.
I have found myself listening to “Year Zero Remixed” and norma jean alot.
I prefer the sound of silence when I train so I guess I agree.
I prefer ACDC for hard sessions and Schiller for slow and regeneration sessions.
agreed. And Justice for All is also in the same vein…i use both of these for hard sessions on the trainer.

Foo Fighter

Coldplay

my wife calls Coldplay ‘slit my wrist’ music…but I kinda dig it.
Several years ago on another forum someone mentioned:
Crazy, by Seal
And I thought WTF?
The key is you have to CRANK IT UP LOUD. It will seriously get you going.
I’ve kind of been digging 3OH!3 for my workouts recently. Linkin Park is also usually pretty good for a tough workout.
When exactly did DMX become badass?
No no no. DMX was the soft stuff man! That’s to keep me from going out too hard. Yeah, that’s the ticket… (mental note: Thank God I didn’t say Kanye.)
muse is pretty good.
however, good training music isn’t really well organized by artist, but by song. i have lots of songs on my training mix ranging from emo bands to hip hop, and everything in between. i even had the 1812 overture on one of my mixes as the first song.
off the top of my head:
muse - knights of cydonia
muse - hysteria
radiohead - idioteque
smashing pumpkins - zero
yeah yeah yeahs - phenomena
kanye west - stronger
taking back sunday - cute without the e
brand new - quiet things that no one ever knows
rage against the machine - (all the songs sound the same to me)
bloc party - eating glass
bloc party - helicopter
pixies - debaser
the lonely island - jizz in my pants (jk)
Gotta dig the rise against. I’ve been on a big kick with thrice lately.
I don’t know but I know he STOPPED the moment he showed up to court for failure to make a prior appearance with a doctor’s note in hand, claiming he was having an asthma attack.
Pussy.
Allrighty, here’s a few of my favorites
Steve Stevens - Small Arms Fire
E-Craft - Violent Freaks (Lot’s of stuff by them I dig for training)
Combichrist - Get Your Body Beat
Rob Zombie - Reloaded
cheers
S.
i don’t listen to music when i train, just the sound of my heart beating and feet pounding the ground
.
Nobody likes the electronica? I recommend the following:
The Crystal Method - Vegas (original and remix editions) (also, Community Service, Legion of Boom)
Roni Size - New Forms, In the Mode, Return to V (great beats)
Amon Tobin - Chaos Theory, Permutation, Bricolage
Prodigy - Fat of the Land
(among others…)
The shuffle I use for training (gym and bike trainer, anyway) is 99% Metallica, including the new album. The only non-Metallica song is Comfortably Numb…which I skip to while I’m stretching…
