Redman and Methodman
DMX
a couple of songs from the “Stomp The Yard” soundtrack

U2 (Elevation)
Nelly
Nas
Born Jamericans
Black Sheep

and some other random shit
i guess some guys don’t need to hide behind angry music to feel manly and tough.
actually your stuff reminds of the skinny, wimpy, sensitive, intentionally different gothic kids from HS. sweet bro.
you are so hard with your music!
You are either intentionally looking to pick a fight, have absolutely no IDEA about modern pop culture, or are pathologicaly insane. The bands the Prof listed aren’t “angry music”… Nelly Furtado? Akon?
Do you even know who they are? I think you must just have a disdain for modern pop culture. And I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the only one here being sensitive and intentionally different is YOU. You asked us for what we listen to doing cardio, people are telling you, and you are taking pot shots at them.
In any event, perhaps its time you take off your leg warmers and headband, lay down the Rubix cube, cut off the mullet, move out of your mom’s basement, and join our modern society. Or don’t…it really doesn’t matter to us. [/quote]
yeah, i know who they are. and i listen to them sometimes, just not during cardio. most of his stuff is angry music from depressed bands with songs about how crappy their lives are. breaking benjamin, linkin park, evenescence…
and i’m only returning the “pot shots”. re-read the thread.
or your own post…
as far as the basement, mullet and leggings are concerned, i live in an apt with one semester left til graduation with a bachelors in marketing and business management as a double major, the company i’m going to work for has agreed to pay for my MBA. upon completion, i will be getting a sweet raise and promotion. not bad for only two years in. a far cry from a basement i would say.
mom and dad don’t even have a basement. they don’t make homes with basements in texas. we have a good winter climate. sorry.
currently i have more of a fro than a mullet, but those are trendy in modern society again anyways, and it’s about to come off soon as i enter the proffessional work force.
i do still enjoy a good rubix cube puzzle now and then though. when i travel, i like to solve soduku puzzles in the airport/plane as well. those are pretty new.
heck, i even like crosswords and word scrambles!
jesus! maybe i should put away the 20’s big band jazz music and and try to put the great depression behind me too!
sorry, but the music i have is superb for cardio. i guess i just don’t have to be angry to find the motivation to work out.
and, based on the suggestions given, however smart assed, it is clear that most don’t even know what the songs are as they are way off in genre.
check some of them out. if you can handle not being a cool guy with your own self you might find you like the upbeat songs for excercising, which is a far cry from listening to them for fun. hell, you wouldn’t even have to tell your friends if you are embarrassed.

Nor should you care what other people think of the music you happen to enjoy–especially if people are going to compare which crappy top-40 is better. Rock out, dude.
As far as the mullet goes…rock that shit out, too. I think an afro-mullet would be sweet.
Ha ha
I don’t have a problem at all with any of th OP’s choice in music. Besides, in my own personal experience, I’d rather NOT listen to angry music if I’m doing cardio, at least most of the time. I need a beat. Not that cardio happens very often at all. But I reserve the angry metal for heavy lifting. And I like the 80s anyway.
Not strictly 80s, but beat wise try some James Brown. I’ve been “re-acquainting” myself with that for a while now. Also, some Talking Heads. Or Clash, Duran Duran, Go-Gos, Van Hagar, Knacks (My Sharona), Springsteen, Spin Doctors, Huey Lewis (Footloose), Eddie Money, Robert Palmer, Quiet Riot, Romantics. Just some stuff off the top of my head, although most of the time my 80s periods consist mostly of metal and hard rock.
There is something wrong with any guy who looks at a list that includes Busta Rhymes, U2, Akon, Nelly Furtado, and Timberland and labels the whole list “angry music”. I would normally call someone like that “extremely misguided”, but I think some of you are blind on purpose.

HA! Well, I’m not a “cool guy” buddy, probably the polar opposite from it. Calling those bands “angry” though makes me think your probably Bob Ross’ illegitimate child, because thats some mild rap/ top 40/ alternative he has listed there.
Why would you assume to draw psychological inferences as to why people like certain types of music? No one is angry, goth, hypersensitive, cool, or imature…we just like the way the music sounds. Novel idea? The music I listen to is WAY off the heavy charts, and would probably make you cry.
However, no one even knows I listen to it. I never even turn it on unless I’m by myself, or its on my IPOD. I listen to it because I LIKE it; if I were trying to be cool, I would broadcast it. So do your cardio to Devo, and I’ll do mine to Cannibal Corpse, and we’ll all be happy.
Congrats on your upcoming B.S., by the way.[/quote]
yeah cannibal corpse has some sweet stuff, just not for cardio. i don’t think a song has ever made me cry, but i do recognize anger, resentment and depression when i hear some one singing it.

those songs don’t really help out at all. totally different style. more like:
bananarama - na na hey hey
The Proclaimers - 500 miles etc. [/quote]
If either of those songs came on while I was doing cardio I would get off the treadmill, retire my running shoes, and never do cardio ever again.

what a pussy.
Honestly I just usually have the news on the tv. Music, what kind or no music or tv or anything for that matter has any effect on my workouts. Never has.
The commercial gyms I’ve trained in had music I absolutely could not stand at about 120 decibels so maybe I just got used to not caring.
Pendulum
Future Prophecies
Calyx
Dieselboy.
Drum n’ bass, 200 beats per minute and sick basslines.
Andrew W.K - Party Hard
Black Sabbath - Iron Man
The Crystal Method - Name of the Game
Death From Above - You’re a woman I’m a machine
Hieroglyphics - At the Helm
Led Zeppelin - Heartbreaker
Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name of
Nine Inch Nails - Survivalism
And I really do finish off with the live version of Talking Head’s Burning Down the House. Their live version has plenty more balls than the studio version.
No William Hung?

Hey, that’s offensive, I have a friend that listens to all of that stuff.
Actually, he was in his late teens and early 20’s in the eighties, and he is gay…Fair call then I guess!!
If you want to complete the list my friend suggested that you add in some Boy George, Wham and Culture Club
Don’t forget some Patti Labell and whoever sang “It’s Raining Men”.[/quote]
HA HA HA HA HA HA “It’s Raining Men” was sung by the Weather Girls the first time around… and then Martha Wash and RuPaul the second time around.
