I have a mix on my iPod for when I’m at the gym, and I like listening to fast-paced, high energy songs to keep me going. The songs that seem to work best for me lately are “Pump It” by Black Eyed Peas, “Move Along” by All American Rejects and “King Without a Crown” by Matisyahu if that gives you a frame of reference.
Suggestions welcome!
Oh and Muse, too.
Tom Waits
Just kidding.
Fergie, Glamourous
Mika, Grace Kelly
K-Os, Sunday Morning
Kaiser Chiefs, Ruby
VHS or Beta, Can’t Believe a Single Word
Katy Perry, Waking up in Vegas
Jason Derulo, In My Head
The Ting Tings, That’s Not My Name
The Donnas, Take it Off
Gym Class Heroes, The Queen and I
Gym Class Heroes, Clothes Off
Warren Zevon, Poor Poor Pitiful Me
Tegan and Sara, Back in your head
You’ll have to take my suggestions with a grain of salt beause I don’t know one of the three songs in the OP, dislike a second, and much prefer other songs by the same band…but we’ll see. But hey, I like Muse too.
Based on you liking "Move Along:
Sugarcult “Do It Alone”
The Plain White Ts “Hate (I Really Don’t Like You)”
The Academy Is… “Checkmarks”
Relient K “Which To Bury; Us Or The Hatchet”
Say Anything “Baby Girl, I’m a Blur”
Good Charlotte “I Just Wanna Live”
Matchbook Romance “Monsters”
Gob “Oh! Ellin”
Simian Mobile Disco “Audacity of Huge”
New Found Glory “Failure’s Not Flattering”
Based on liking Muse (since you don’t specify songs, I’m going to assume you mean their new stuff, not songs like “Uno” & “Muscle Musuem”):
Moving Units “Between Us and Them”
The Black Ghosts “I Want Nothing”
Justice Vs. Death From Above 1979 “Blood On Our Hands”
The Dirty Secrets “5 Feet of Snow” (pref. the Miami Horror mix)
The Faint “Glass Danse”
Ladytron “Evil”
Fischerspooner “Just Let Go”
Controller.Controller “PF”
Project Jenny, Project Jan “Pins and Needles [w/ Fujiya & Miyagi]”
Starlight Mints “Power Bleed”
I always thought “Walk of Life” by Dire Straights was a great workout song. And anything by the Ramones…TRM
About 99.44% of AC/DC songs have the same exact tempo, which happens to be a good workout tempo.
Thanks for the suggestions, some of those were right what I was looking for. I thought I’d list the Muse songs I’ve got in the workout mix to see if that helped give another idea of what I like:
Time is Running Out
Stockholm Syndrome
Hysteria
Starlight
Supermassive Black Hole
Map of the Problematique
I was listening to some streaming audio site about a month or so back when they played:
B.L.O.S.S.O.M by Komeda
It’s repetitive, fun, catchy. Too bad it’s actually so old.
