Gym music

[JayFilomena]

I will search the threads, but while I am doing so, I wanted to ask for some advice on some highland music that may be appropriate for the gym. Masculine voices, maybe some grunting, fast music, but not a disco or dance type. Maybe along the lines of a gothic or metal, but with out the social deviance. Does that makes sense? I am looking for a Bon Jovi/Braveheart mix that I can work out to.

thanks guys. Be Fearless

I will search .... Masculine voices, maybe some grunting, fast music.....along the lines of a gothic or metal, but with out the social deviance.

Start with Corvus Corax. Think medieval music on bagpipes and other loud stuff meets Rammstein. http://www.corvuscorax.de

After that, go for Rare Air. They're one of my favorite bands, but sadly now defunct. I'd particularly recommend their New World CD. Although they be a bit too jazz influenced for your desires.

Check out this link. There are many great bands mentioned in there..

[Colin]

Dropkick Murphy
Real McKenzies
Flogging Molly
Clann An Drumma
and best of all Barleyjuice

just to name a few.

Off Kilter's stuff is good.

Any good rockin' bagpipe stuff is great, actually.

Power and Majesty by the Robert Shaw Chorale is excellent for workouts too.

I could go with any listed so far but I'll echo Colin and recommend BarleyJuice. Then go have some barleyjuice after the gym.

Lots of good choices. I have spent the last two days looking up these bands and CD's, and will buy at least three, maybe 5 of them today. My wife is going to be shaking her head,,,"and why did you need 5 cd's of bagpipe rock while stationed in Baghdad". I have her convinced how hard it is for me over here. You should have herd her voice when I told her I had a maid. :rolleyes:

Thanks everyone.

Jay,

I have just started back to the gym after way too long.
So here is what I have on my Ipod

Gaelic storm. Lots of good fast paced long sets.
I got the dvd and ripped them on to cds and my new Ipod.
they have a few slow songs but mainly very upbeat.

Enter the Haggis
A little more rock than pop.

Another recommendation for ClananDrumma.
A friend of mine who is a marine said
"Listening to Clan an Drumma is very tribal.
It makes men want to fight and women
want to mate."

I have been using the Ipod at the gym now for months. I loaded it up with all kinds of music. But, I have found the celtic beat very good for setting a pace on the eliptical.

Clann an Drumma/Albannach
Enter the Haggis
Mackeel
Dagda

I am working on getting some more on there. Hopefully Dropkick Murphys and such.
