Training & Nutrition - Training Music - What's on your Playlist?

It occurred to me while at the gym last week that Duran Duran, Blondi or any other 80s pearl that the gym feels like remixing doesn't quite provide the necessary motivation for a quality workout. So, and I know this thread is cliche, I'm trying to put together a decent list of music for an unforgettable cycling playlist. Current top three artists...

1. Sum 41
2. Presidents of the United States of America
3. Bob Marley (you'd be surprised)

Any ideas?

I have a rather weird play list that I listen to during training but never on the bike.
- Chemical Brothers
- The Used
- Bloc Party
- Linkin Park
- Toyko Hotel
- Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
- Metro Station * Control is a good song if u want to do some sprinting I think
- ACDG Yell * Cool techno song when doing some running

Their are a couple others but thats just about all the artist I listen to. Most are fast paces songs with a couple slow ones for cool downs.

There's some good podcasts with mixes of music for exercise. I used the cadence revolution podcast most of the winter. Good variety of energizing music.

kiss, iron maiden, linkin park, eminem, sum 41, guns n roses, Dream Theater, Immortal technique, diabolical, and a bunch of others, its either heavy fast rock or really pissed off style rap heh. gets me really goin specially when im hour into a workout and need something to keep my workout level high.

Check out this thread for a more diverse list.

Kudos to J.W. I can't believe I missed them.

BTW ottsville, hadn't heard of the podcast before, will check it out.

John Cage 4'33"

+1, I rock out to this on all my outdoor rides :D.

Indoors, any decent dark psychedelic trance... Frozen Ghost and Tryambaka lately. Perfect tempo for long intervals at 70-75 rpm (music is usually 145-150 bpm). Might try some Bad Religion, Pennywise, and Slayer next time.

Disturded, NIN, Madina Lake, Linkin Park, Adema, Boys Noize (good breakbeat stuff), Pendulum (great D&B with electro feel), Prodigy, Digitalism, Tiesto (parade of atheletes album in particular), Foo Fighters, Hoobastank, Muse, Orgy, Rob Zombie (the remix album is a goodun), faithless, gravity kills, stabbing westward, Dream theater, Justice (electro group), and a lot of different trance (euphoria/cream albums are great), electro (electro house sessions album is amazing) and some minimalism like simian mobile disco. Hard, fast or heavy is what it has to be! Check out songs on Queen of the damned, Underworld and Blade soundtracks too. If i think of any more or get my ipod ill hit you up with some more stuff.

Gotta like "It's a Beautiful Day" by Queen.

It's a beautiful day
The sun is shining
I feel good
And no-one's gonna stop me now, oh yeah

It's a beautiful day
I feel good, I feel right
I feel good, I feel right
And no-one, no-one's gonna stop me now

Billie Holiday
Elliot Smith
Nick Cave + the bad seeds
Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Velvet Underground

Techtronic Sound podcasts for me.

While riding I just like the sound of Vittoria on asphalt, same goes for running - not big on having all the gadgetry involved with earphones, ipod and all. But I rock the **** out before training. Right now: well, actually right now it's live Jerry and Merl Saunders from '73, but right now for training it's been breaks and hip hop, mostly FreQ Nasty live stuff, Autobots & Screwface, Madlib/Doom/Jaydee $h!t, Automator stuff (Dr. Octagon, etc..), Sound Tribe Sector 9 (highly recommend to ANYONE), Bassnectar, Mark Farina. Also can get down sometimes with good old school metal (Gwar, Maiden, Dio, Cradle, etc...), not that pu$$y ass crap that you find filed under metal and hear on the radio today. Usually metal's reserved for skateboarding and snowboarding though.

Lately I haven't been using any music but if I do it's typically Lamb of God, Marilyn Manson, RATM, Down, Pantera and similar.

Misfits
Metallica
AC/DC
Judas Priest
Iron Maiden

Mostly screamo/emo/post-harcore.

Drop Dead Gorgeous
Funeral Diner
Underoath
Cry of the Afflicted
Raein
I Would Set Myself On Fire For You

not on the bike, but in the gym- lifting and rowing, I generally run a playlist of the Fratellis, Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, though somtimes I'll mix it up w/ some Johnny Cash and Toots on laid back days.

My music collection is all over the damn map though, so it's pretty eclectic.

The White Stripes!
