Anybody have some suggestions on songs for working out. Really looking for something fast paced. Would like songs that go good with running, lifting weights, boxing or just stretching.

Songs that have something to do with pushing oneself, gettting better, getting stronger, etc all would be ideal but not necessary. (for example, in my current line up, I have “Hey Julie” by Fountains of Wayne. I also have Rob zombie “more human and human” which is awesome for working out IMO)

Any suggestions would be great! Gonna go dig through my Audioslave and Godsmack CD’s to see if anything fits. (doesn’t all have to be rock or alternative, other genres work just fine)

I briefly considered stronger, faster, better, but it annoys me, to cut off that suggestion. 😉

How about…

Led Zep - Immigrant Song  
Led Zep - In The Evening (starts off slow)  
The Doors - Love Her Madly  
The Doors - Take It As It Comes  
The Who - 5:15  
The Clash - London Calling  
Jimi Hendrix - Manic Depression

Fairly fast paced…ish.

I do try to give something back to the doper community, y’know!

**Epimetheus** , my friend, let me introduce you to a little style we like to call thrash metal.

Pick up some stuff by any of the following bands, and you’ll be good to go:

Annihilator  
Anthrax  
Exodus  
Flotsam & Jetsam  
Megadeth  
Metal Church  
Metallica  
Obituary  
Overkill  
Pantera  
Pestilence  
Slayer  
Testament

If none of that is fast enough or intense enough for you, let me know. I can help.
