Continuing on from the other music thread, what’s the most T supressing music you’ve ever had to listen too in the gym? My vote goes to Fields of Gold by Sting, my balls ran away.

I say Bette Midler.

Hip-hop – I spent a summer being blasted with “Will you be my WIFEY” and “I’m Fucking You Tonight” and other such wonderful songs before finally investing in headphones. Not only did that kill my workouts before I learned to ignore it, but it also made me actually dumber to listen to it.

Richard Marx, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston: guaranteed loss of testosterone.

this is a great post-i can definately fill up a couple of paragraphs of bad gym music, but for the sake of brevity i’ll list the absolute WORST: i dunno what it is about her, but of the three gyms i’ve had memberships at, cher’s garbage always makes it through the gym sound system…not a cher remix (which would be only marginally preferable) but unadulterated, straight off the album CHER. after cher would have to be this genre of music–i think it’s called freestyle…it sounds like the synth-pop predescessor of current house music, heavy on the electric melodies and some fagmasta singin in the background…its really quite disturbing…and of course any music made by a group consisting of several “boys” has no place with the iron…

Import · May 17, 2002, 9:05pm

John Denver,Weezer,Michael Bolton,Barbra Streisand(sp?),Poison,Warrant,Cat Stevens,James Taylor,Ricky Martin and Kenny Rogers

anything played over the system at the 24 hour fitness I use.

When I heard “Greatest Love of mine” I dropped the weights and marched down to the front desk and laid a bitching on. I really detest most anything from the 50’s that isn’t jazz. So if they play that kinda crap, my work out is poor.
