What style/genre of music gets you most pumped up?

[puffbro1]

Metal's always good to get the blood pumping, but I put trance up there as well. That and the more hardcore dance genres, like what they play in raves. Can't go past genres designed to make people move.

 

[Spacelord]

The latest cd by Clutch called From Beale Street To Oblivion has a few songs that get me pumped up. Bluesy gritty stoner rock, a winrar is Clutch.

 

[ThrGree]

Metal all the way. Or if I'm about to watch footy with some mates, the song "Up There Cazaly"

 

[Goenitz]

Hardcore Techno

I would agree with you, anykinda trance/house/jungle gets me going.

 

[zen5887]

Free Jazz, Prog, Fast songs

Also

Actually PLAYING it is a different story. Seriosuly, [playing live] is hectic

Yeah

 

[Conqueror Kenny]

Generally all kinds of metal. More specifically Slayer, if I hear a Slayer song come on I just can't stay still.

 

[Lt. Sera]

Anything with a high speed beat in it. But nothing bland and/or monotonous. Genres are a non issue for me, i tend to like a bit of every genre.

 

[laikenf]

I like rocking out to The Stooges, I also LOVE ALL songs from Killing Joke's first 4 albums.

 

[pxZero]

I find it depends on the game/what I'm doing.
It can vary from metal to techno to a bit of alternative (something about 'Bohemian Like You' makes me so good at CS).

 

[Strafe Mcgee]

I tend to find dance/rock crossovers do the trick very nicely for me. Mad Capsule Markets, Mindless Self Indulgence, Prodigy etc etc.

Also, Gogol Bordello: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJlGutqFqfg

 

[Razzle Bathbone]

Psychedelic Trance, or Goa. Favourites include Astral Projection, X-Dream and Dharma Lab.

 

[mshcherbatskaya]

Goa trance--mmmmmmm. I have a Happy Hardcore techno cd that is pure audio caffeine, and a CD by Edit of the Glitch Mob that makes me car-dance, even when I'm not in a car.

Oh, and mash-ups from Go Home Productions or Girl Talk. Brilliant.

 

[Jonathan Hexley]

Hard Rock, i.e: Aerosmith, Metal, Certain types of Rock.
I think style/genre is a bit wide, seeing as Rock has different types of songs. Such as Heart Shaped Box and Cherry Pie are the same genre (Rock), even though they sound totally different.

 

[CloakedAsh]

Any music but Country and Rap. I listen to a lot of Alternative, but one song that gets me pumped is Hyper Music by Muse.

 

[Bulletinmybrain]

Drowning Pool-Let the bodys hit the floor^^
Rage against the machine-Sleep now in the fire, Killing in the name of.
Nirvana-Heart-shaped box, Rape me.
Queens of the stone age-3's and 7's
Led Zepplin-Kashmir
And the intro to cochise by audioslave...

 

[HeyZeus_Ezekiel_Jesus]

THRASH METAL!

 

[Ares Tyr]

I listen to a varied selection of music. For gaming, however, I usually enjoy the following...

Deathcore (i.e. Hardcore Death Metal, such as Born of Osiris, Bring Me The Horizon, Despised Icon, etc).

Hip Hop (only the good stuff, though... none of that new crap. Wu-Tang Clan, Jay-Z, Nas, and Hieroglyphics make up alot of my stuff).

Punk (old and new, like Dead Kennedys, Gallows, Dropkick Murphys).

And lets not forget the R&B stylings of Michael Jackson and Chris Brown. No joke.
