Mountain Song by Jane's Addiction isn't bad for pumping one up.

'Where Were You(When the World Stopped Turning)' (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=fvj6zdWLUuk) by Alan Jackson always gets me moving in the morning.

I keep hearing about this 4chan; I'm starting to become curious. I have a feeling this will turn into one of those horror movies where the wise old posters keep saying, "Don't go on that site, ye wee youngin'!" but I go on it anyway with my friends and then demons are unleashed and we all get possessed, one by one, till morning comes and I'm the only one left standing. Or am I? (You'll find out in 4chan II.)

Project 86. Cool. I like their song "Something We Can't Be"

Flatfoot 56 rocks. They're like The Dropkick Murphies, but better.

"Chase the Sun" and "Return of the Revolution" by the O.C. Supertones
"Memoir" and "Mighty Good Leader" by Audio Adrenaline
"Runaway" by Linkin Park
"Southtown" and "Boom" by P.O.D.
"Jekyll & Hyde" by Petra
"Alien Youth" by Skillet
"Do Not" by John Reuben
"All Out" by Mars Ill
"Unbelievable" by Thousand Foot Krutch

Imagine goatse, tubgirl, lemonparty, meatspin, and similar things all mixed with every kind of porn imaginable, all in one place, and all being posted by an entire forum of trolls. That is a very poor approximation of 4chan, but maybe, just maybe, it will suffice.

The OP asks us what music gets us to working. It's not so much about pumping up, useful for rallies, as it is about starting up, which involves tackling an arduous and undesirable task.

Though, if we must, I could just experience a sudden Eruption (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ULEBSxP725w&feature=related) of productivity.

No, you don't get it. The point of that song, is to start one up. It starts me up. That's the title. "Start Me Up." As in, "If I play you, song, you should start me up." Which it does. This song literally can "Start me Up". I have one of those iHomes, and my wake-up playlist consists of the Continental Drift Intro from the Flashpoint CD, and then I have the machine "Start Me Up" with said track from the same CD. Since it's the same play order as on the CD, the changeover is so fast it makes you think it's one song, especially at 7AM. I use that song to "Start Me Up" every weekday.

Not really. I do my Kingdom of Loathing gaming around noon by New York time. Just got the Wossname (finally!), now, 'tis time to use it. Even then, when wondering whether continuing was worth it, I used the song to "Start Me Up" on my continued quest to get the damn medal.

Back in the day living in a ghet- uh, high-density, low-income neighborhood, I used to jog a lot, running three miles from my house to the library and then back, jumping over potholes and bums and avoiding Bloods and crackheads all along the way. For my birthday, my best friend gave me a CD player and a CD, Eminem's "Curtain Call". Taking the sort of people here into account, I know I'm going to get ripped for this, but that album got me pumped up. I don't think I really cared for rap, but I found some of the songs were funny, some were sad, and some were absolutely powerful. All of them flowed and blended together to give me the raw, determined and angry energy to make it through my daily gauntlet.

I won't rip you. I don't own any Eminem, but I've heard enough to recognize his skill in both craft and delivery. He can be a spot-on parodist and funny when he wants to be, too. Resonant, commanding voice and an excellent sense of rhythmic ebb and flow and syncopation. In fact, "Lose Yourself" is a pretty good pump-up track.

It's all case by case for me. For example, yesterday I had to attend my annual "personnel department workshop", where the company I work for has small groups employees come in for what amounts to a polite dressing down to follow the rules, a couple of updates on procedural items, and an over view of the company's performance, all of which could be handled in a fax or e-mail. The song on my personal stereo for the train trip was David Allen Coe's "Take This Job And Shove It". :) (What? The guy who runs the workshop is a cephelopenis.)

Thanks for not ripping on me and thanks for exhibiting words I can use in future conversations to more effectively communicate my thoughts on Eminem. :D

"Monroe Dancin'", "Appalachian Joy", "1 Corinthians 1:18", "Crossing the Briney", "Crossville", "Goin to the Ceili", and "Road to Spencer" - all instrumental tunes by Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder. Listen to them if you get the chance - they're on the albums "Brand New Strings", "Instrumentals", and "History of the Future".

'An' hero?

It's a Brit. thing.

Many varieties undergo h-dropping, making harm and arm homophones. This is a feature of working-class accents across most of England, but was traditionally stigmatised (a fact the comedy musical My Fair Lady was quick to exploit) but less so now.[6] The accents of Northumberland, Tyneside, and parts of Norfolk are an exception to this rule. In the past, working-class people were often unsure where an h ought to be pronounced, and, when attempting to speak "properly", would often preface any word that began with a vowel with an h (e.g. "henormous" instead of enormous, "hicicles" instead of icicles); this was referred to as the "hypercorrect h" in the Survey of English Dialects, and is also referenced in literature (e.g. the policeman in Danny the Champion of the World).

Meh - there is only so much accordion-based folk music I can take.

Rammstein, Linkin Park, angry stuff like that.

'Pump up the jam' by technotronic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSKTeKi-zfM) comes to mind, because it has pump up in the title and it has a beat and because it's classic. (don't watch if you can't stand colors)

Other than that I don't really know, I swim, a swimmingpool isn't the best place to listen to your ipod. Other than that I don't really do sports unless dancing, but that's on whatever the dj plays of course.

"Lucid Fairytale" by Napalm Death
"The Twisted Nails of Faith" by Cradle of Filth
"Spiritual Law" as covered by Slayer
"Nazi Punks Fuck Off" by the Dead Kennedys
"I've Been So Mad Lately" by Butt Trumpet
"Just One Fix" by Ministry
"Stigmata" (the live version from In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up) by Ministry
"Orphans" by Teenage Jesus and the Jerks
"Leprosy" by Death
"You've Gotta Die For the Government" by Anti-Flag

...tis enough for now.

Well I don't really listen to music when I'm running or rowing. When I'm running, I prefer to kind of focus inwards on how my body is feeling, I'm a decent runner and I find it helps me push myself a bit more. I don't listen to music when I'm rowing for the same reason, but also because there no practical way to listen to music and row at the same time.
However when it comes to erging, my boathouse has a number of cds for the stereo. Its mostly techno/dance/ beats (delete as appropriate) with a mixture of other stuff thrown in because a good beat is essential for erging. Its weird because I'm not really into that sort of music, but if I hear any of those songs I'm just transported back to erg sessions.
Examples of stuff on the stero would include:
Kryptonite- 3 doors down
Enimen
Daft Punk
Feeder
Final Countdown
Scooter (some dutch dj,harder..faster....SCOOTER!! just brings back memories of 5ks)
Oddly enough when I'm doing hill sprints, I have a tendencies to sing Phenomon by TFK to myself.

Fight Music-eminem and D12
I'm so hood-remix
Bin Laden slush fund remix-Immortal Technique
The point of no return-immortal technique
Till I collapse-eminem
Lose Yourself-Eminem
Hate me now-Tupac remix
California Love-Tupac and Dre
Most anything by NWA
Fight the Power- Public Enemy
Down with the sickness-disturbed
let the bodies hit the floor
bring the noise-PE and Anthrax
Hail Mary-Tupac
It's me bitches-remix
bombtrack-rage against the machine
Killing in the name of-Rage
How I could just kill a man-rage

and many more but I am bored of typing

Petrified - Fort Minor
Know Your Enemy - Rage Against The Machine
In The Air Tonight - Nonpoint (Cover)
Knights of Cydonia - Muse

Those songs can pump me up.

"I'm American" by Queensryche. It's the only exceptional song on Mindcrime II, but it gets me going pretty good.
"Wake Up" by Rage Against the Machine is good too, as is their cover of "Renegades of Funk"

DragonForce are hard to listen to just as an album, because the whole thing just sounds like one long meandering power thrash metal song. But they're great to play when you're running.

Sonata Arctica are good for running too, though I'd say their songs are more like actual songs than DragonForce's.

System of a Down's angry first few albums are pretty good for pumping you up.

And anything by Iron Maiden is IMO genius.

Bit of Eminem wouldn't hurt either.

Dance music like Cascada is good too. Not great music on its own but would work for exercising.

Hmmm...

95% of Techno
60% of Rock
15% of Rap
20% of J-Pop.

I guess it really depends on what I'm listening to. Examples are:

Phantom of Blue - Yuzo Koshiro
Total Terror - Yuzo Koshiro
Nightwish - Tenth Man Down
Silent Civilian - Wrath
Silent Civilian - Funeral
Nightwish - Planet Hell
Disturbed - Deify
Maximum the Hormone - Koi no Megalover

Energize Me - After Forever (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=fjm4BrNAf6s)

:fluffle: for all the Iron Maiden metions.

MAD (1992) from the "Climax Together" concert, by Buck-Tick always pumps me up.

Immigrant Song by Led Zeppilin
Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N Roses
Get a New Daddy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nq0jJa0BvuM) by Trevor Moore! (Don't know how it is a pump song but I run much faster with it)

I can't believe you "people"!

No one mentiond them because the question is not "Which really cheesey heavy metal band makes you nautious?" :p

God thats true.

No one mentiond them because the question is not "Which really cheesey heavy metal band makes you nautious?" :p

Tell me about it. Plus if we are talking about pumping up as in excersing music, I don't think heavy metal in general is very good for it. Its too complex and most of it is either ignored and it ends up being distracted. The beat is also very very fast which isn't so useful. Things like rap and beats tend to be better because they have a simple beat thats pretty easy to tune into to.

Its too complex and most of it is either ignored and it ends up being distracted. The beat is also very very fast which isn't so useful.
