I would call what they play in my gym elevator music But that would be an insult to elevator music.
There’s lots of stuff that blocks out the Top 20 or 50s music playing at my gym, but classical music seems to create a mood without distracting me with lyrics.
If you haven’t heard it, check out the Planets Symphony by Gustav Holst; when I’m squatting, it’s almost mandatory these days that I am playing “Mars, the Bringer of War.” I play it over and over until I leave the squat rack.
For cardio - Dream Theater. It’s powerful music, and I’m finished before the first song is over.
For weights - Usually heavy ass metal, like Pantera, Slayer, Sevendust, At the Gates, Fear Factory, Kataklysm, old Sepultura - straight up thrash.
Before my iPod died, I was starting to listen to Opeth a lot during workouts. Your workouts aren’t non-stop intensity, so I think the music shouldn’t be either. Opeth songs have nice melodic parts, which help lower the pulse rate during a rest period, then get all evil and death metal for your sets. Perfect band for workouts.

Wow, you pretty much summed up my list there although I’d have to add Carnal Forge, Vader, and Arch Enemy.
I listen to everything from Eminem to the Chili Peppers to Limp Bizkit to the Rocky soundtrack(yeah, the Rocky soundtrack)…but I’d have to say if I were to only pick one to listen to the rest of my lifting days I’d choose Sevendust. They put me in an aggressive mood.
