I know we've done this topic before, but it's been awhile. I'm looking for some new tunes for my mp3 player to use during my running/workout regimen. What do you listen to while you run or work out?
 
Pro wresting entrance music is fantastic for this. Miz's I Came To Play and Christian's theme song are the best.

You can only fake workout to those.
 
Tool - "Stinkfist" - I think it's actually a song about drug addiction, but there are a ton of great lyrics that are applicable to a masochistic cardio workout: "It's not enough, I need more, nothing seems to satisfy, I don't want it, I just need it to breathe, to feel, to know i'm alive..."

On my playlist I also have, among others, "The Rising" by Bruce Springsteen, "She's a River" by Simple Minds, "Crackerman" by Stone Temple Pilots, "Thunderstruck" and "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC, "Boom" by P.O.D., "Shadow of the Season" by Screaming Trees, "Porch" by Pearl Jam.
 
The most useful things on the mp3 player I take to the gym are A Wilhelm Scream, Darkest Hour and (older) Thrice songs.
 
Black Parade (My Chemical Romance) is more important than my shoes.
 
Also, the national anthem while I warm up, and God Bless America during my third water break.
 
Like to start my work outs with Gimme Shelter - get that Adrenalin rush going.

Usually like to work in Paranoid somewhere.

Actually, it's about putting your fist in a most uncomfortable place, akin to the back seat of a Volkswagen. Read the lyrics and it makes sense.

Tool's best song, IMO.
