I like:

Burn it to the ground, Nickelback.

Crazy Bitch, Buckcherry

(obviously) Welcome to the Jungle, Guns n Roses.

(a little slow to start) Enter Sandman, Metallica

Thanks Dominic,

Will defo add some of those

Clint...just how hard are you willing to go...?

Hey Clint, I used to go Boxing training and the best music for that was anything by HATEBREED, it's damn heavy and angry so really gets you going and the tempo is always up!

by the way the previous was a warm up tune ! ;-)

How about some PANTERA?

I'm not sure if music during exercise should be too upbeat, you may hurt yourself. But I'll play along.

2 songs from the 1980s; have we finally found something that music from that decade was good for?

an obvious one ...

same movie

OK - my two centimes...

Showing my age maybe, but, you cannot find much better than this for a cardio workout;

Highway Star, Deep Purple: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOQHuDLE-Dk

Turn it up and prepare to sweat;-)

Well I'm running to Bullet for my Valentine album Fever, fight is a great track fro boxing training too. 30 sec to Mars, Foo Fighters......

Good luck

Helen

Metallica - Whiskey in the Jar

Depends if you want heavy, up tempo, heavy up tempo...

Preference on vocal styles? A lot of the heavier stuff ends up with vox not to everyones taste...

Also, are you averse to D&B?

If you want lighter stuff (still considered heavy by most I'd guess) Pantera would be a good bet, Maybe Five Finger Death Punch...Personally at the moment, a tag team of deathcore (Emmure/Carnifex) and dark D&B (Donny, DJ Hidden, Current Value) is doing the trick!

If you don't mind going a little crazier...let me know, I've got plenty :)

I suggest you Linkin Park... most of their songs. Good rhythm to train!

agree!

Pantera great beat for running !

Iron Maiden

hey, you all forgot "eye of the tiger" ... that's the training music by definition ;o))

Great, thanks to all the posts - pls keep them coming.

I will be looking to my selection of Foo Fighters, linkin park, pantera and Iron maiden collection. Bullet for my Valentine also looks cool

Sorry Massimilano and Edward, however yours were just too commercial.

Matt, perhaps I am just too old to start to like Hatebreed...

Chris, looking for more tempo than heavy - suggestions...

may also have to add this

What's wrong with commercial? And how is The Jam more commercial than ACDC? But I get your point; you asked for Metal and I gave you 80s dance/disco.

The thing is that the metal I listen to isn't typically upbeat enough to work out with. And I can't give you Dream Theater because the strange time measures in their songs may make you skip a step and hurt yourself.

Perhaps this is your best choice of Dream Theater songs.

here's a few i use for lifting and/or running. Others to try - My Chemical Romance ('teenagers' particularly good for gym'ing), Rammstein, Green Day, Soulfly

Ok, let's forget commercial stuff ... if u need a sustained music with constant bpm that starts fast immediately and keep going on like that then probably the first Metallica album Kill'em All is what you need.

A little bit mo, but Pink, Katy Perry, and the Killers are all on my workout playlist.  Each more than once.  Work to the rythm, really push it for the chorus and you'll be out of breath well before the end.

Cassius - I Love Techno 2011

Machine Head, Lamb of God? Pretty commercial, but it depends on the tempo/degree of still being able to make out music you're searching for :)

any cheesy euro dance pop with that 4/4 tempo...but metal is a strange beast either too fast or too slow

Try Gamma Ray - Heaven Can Wait
