Your Olympic Playlist...

My1218 · 08-20-2008 01:50

I thought it was interesting that newscasters were asking Olympic athletes what they listen to on their IPOD's before competing sooooo out of curiosity: if you guys were in the Olympics, what would you be listening to in order to pump you up before a match/race/event?

I know for sure I would have a few Linkin Park songs on my playlist. Always gets me in the "zone." cool

What about you?

Obviously, a lot of peppy songs to get me going. I'm not really a rap person... at all.

So, just some artists I would lean to (more in the punk category):

Less Than Jake
Hot Hot Heat
Flogging Molly
Rise Against
Brand New
Reel Big Fish
Sublime
Suicide Machines
Local H

There's more... but yeah. Pump me up music without the rap. It can be done. smile

My1218 · 08-20-2008 05:11

Right on, Sublime would be another good one to have I think....

Georgefeeny · 08-20-2008 05:34

Dahly, I LOVE Hot Hot Heat. just had to say that.

Rap makes me angry hehe!

I love listening to the Prodigy to get me fired up. Maybe some Janes Addiction and definitely a bit of Pendulum.

I would go for oasis - roll with it (if I was a gymnast) or wonderwall (if I were a pole vaulter).
Should do the trick

Mrs-Valo · 08-20-2008 11:27

Pole Vaulter eh?
smile No other events?

I would also listen to a select few from Ozomatli...anyone heard of them?

Disturbed. They certainly pump my mood up and make me feel confident and strong. And songs from the Queen of the danged soundtrack too. I think the song Shout is great for that too, preferably in Disturbed's version. Atrocity's is not so strong.

NiN, Pendulum and Metallica generally get me through my gym sessions.

Dahly · 08-20-2008 22:30

There's some good stuff on here. Although I've realized some bands, like NIN, don't get me pumped up in the "I want to run forever" way. They energize me more with an angst feeling.

Just me though. smile

My1218 · 08-22-2008 07:14

Yeah I can see where you get that. What ever gets your blood going... smile

NoirStrikaBlitzen · 08-22-2008 07:36

Jordan Page - The Pendulum
The Ventures - The Green Hornet
Chubby Checker - The Twist
Jack of All Trades TV theme
Electric Six - Gay Bar
Pillar - Frontline
Don Spencer - Fireball XL5
Queen - Don't Stop Me Now
Greenhill Instrumental - Charleston
Caramelldansen(speedycake remix)
Cobratwisters - Back Alley Space Boy
Michael Bradley - We Will Win
Aha - Take On Me
Sega Sound Studio - City Escape

That random assortment of songs really can get me goin'.
