humanflyz Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 So I've been running on the treadmill lately, and I am curious as to what other people listen to when they want to go for that extra mile. I tend to listen to the following: 1) LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver 2) Girl Talk - Feed the Animal 3) Rage Against the Machine - self titled 4) Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation 5) Metallica - Kill 'Em All 6) Clipse - Hell Hath No Fury 7) Weezer - Blue Album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I haven't been running recently (I need to resume that ASAP), but when I did, I did a lot of early Oingo Boingo and Nine Inch Nails' beatier songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call on the NIN; I've just been too lazy to make a playlist, since I'm always used to listening by albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 The Dreaming, Etched in Blood ought to be good running music, it doesn't really have a ballad. Broken is pretty consistent, and IIRC, all but one track on Pretty Hate Machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grenert Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 How about the Black Flag collection, The First Four Years? Of course, you'll grind to a halt when you hit "Damaged." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aardvark baguette Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I would say anything loud/aggresive with a nice rhythm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akathisia Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 When I was running with music (I know prefer to just run after living downtown and nearly getting hiot by cars all the time), I like good hip-hop like Aesop Rock's "None Shall Pass", Talib Kweli's "Quality", and Del's "Deltron 3030". Some simple aggressive metal like Hatebreed works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naamanf Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I like running to techno type music. Tiesto, Van Dyk, Van Burren, Oakenfold etc. The beat keeps me going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just play Darude's Sandstorm and place the headphones right behind my ears, I can pretend I'm running from the music... do d-d-d-d-doo I joke. Good electronica is great for excercise.

riceboy Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I like running to techno type music. Tiesto, Van Dyk, Van Burren, Oakenfold etc. The beat keeps me going. I like Naamanf choices and I also use a bunch of mash up mixes. It usually is one artists vs another artists and they mash the two songs together. Pretty much anything with a good beat works for me. I never did try Dusty's suggestion with NIN yet but I will soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I've just been too lazy to make a playlist...I think your best bet is to make a playlist. The biggest problem that I've found is long introductions or outros or whatnot that ruin the "mood", so it's rare that entire albums work well as running music. I vaguely remember having to start on "Kinda I Want to", and setting it on loop, so that it would end on "Sanctified" so that I could skip "Something I Can Never Have".

riceboy Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I think your best bet is to make a playlist. I totally agree with Dusty. I have a workout playlist and I swear it has been going on for about 7 years. I first added some songs I liked and then kept adding to it. It pretty much is just songs that has a good beat that gets my feet thumping and that I enjoy running to. I only add songs once in a while so the list doesn't get to big and then I just put it on random and away I go. Have fun making your playlist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
