Whats a song that instantly motivates/wakes you up?
 

I'm trying to finish up a project in the next couple days....i need some good motivation jams....nothing slow. I don't particularly care for rap...but if its about making $....and not about wearing $3,000,000 in diamonds/acting like an idiot, then I'd even be open to a rap song :pimp

But i do prefer rock/fast country/punk/house & trance etc (to a lesser extent)

I've already got....
(Fuel, Metallica)
(I got a feeling, Black Eyed Pea's)
stuff like that......

Conversely country songs like "Alright" by Darius Rucker....while uplifting, are not motivating, since he seems to be happy with spaghetti, a roof over his head & a cheap bottle of wine :1orglaugh

Suicidal Tendencies' "You Can't Bring Me Down" gets the blood pumping

https://youtube.com/watch?v=g2RskJVFUoQ

I don't really have any songs that do that but I did just get the new ICP cd Bang! Pow! Boom! today and I'm listening to it now and this shit does pump me up a bit

haha but not to many others seem to like this shit so I don't know what to tell you

Ok so I added "American Badass, Kid Rock"

I'm surprised people don't have multiple "hype up" songs.

Kanye West's "Stronger"


you asked

Backyard Babies- Bombed
The Toy Dolls- Nelly The Elephant
The Queers- Punk Rock Girls
Anything by the Supersuckers
Lunachicks- Jerk Of All Trades

Absolutely!

pr0, if you got a minute hit me up on ICQ, wanna chat with you about something.

Minimize, don't watch the vids but listen to the songs. I'm not a HUGE rap fan but these do it.

Jay Z is good.

Never applied it to work, but when I used to need a burst of energy when running, Guns 'n' Roses - Paradise City always did it for me.

push it to the limit, the song they play in the movie scarface as they are bringing huge bags of money into the bank

Ross it's ross

Very nice!

You just have to be able to blend the old and the new, and not give a shit what anyone else thinks. After all, it's your music, so fuck them!!!

"damn it feels good to be a gangster" geto boys :)

good choice on the rage dyna!

Let it play about 20-30 sec before it gets good.

Thanks for this. Got me motivated!

that might be the dopest shit I've heard in like 2 years.....

gives me the same "feel" as mos def/massive attack "I Against I"

if you like that, you'll remember this from the matrix (or was it blade?) too https://youtube.com/watch?v=1EsGwLFchRg

Rock



Trance



Punk that will seriously pump you up!

This is a good song too

Ok wiredguy's suggestion "The Crystal Method, featuring "the coolest jew ever" Matisyahu" called "drown in the now"

Is now my second favorite song.....

It goes

#1 American Badass (because kid rock is THE white trash god)
#2 Drown in the Now


best fucking song I've heard in FOREVER....I am SERIOUSLY impressed.

korpiklaani rocks!

holy shit, yea i love that song....thanx!

It's not that I don't dig some of those songs, it's just that you are seriously missing out. Oh well, not my business, go with whatever gets you through the day...

I also listen to ....

Johnny Cash

The Prodigy

Natural Born Killers Soundtrack

Megadeth

Disturbed

Marilyn Manson

Skid Row

Now THIS is a fucking song...

As is this...



Now if you'll excuse me, I need to pass out face first on my front lawn...:thumbsup

A different kind of motivation

https://youtube.com/watch?v=w070JX_P5OE

duffle bag boy.

I can't believe you don't have Godsmack on that list.....and I'm talking about the good songs like "greed", "whiskey hangover", "voodoo", "straight out of line", etc...not shit like "one rainy day", "vampires", "spiral", etc.
or Pantera..."war nerve", "demons be driven", "the great southern treadkill"
those all pump me up

Give som great classical music a try, it really works.

Thanks, I use it all the time at the gym.

Pulp, Razzmatazz!
