What is your POWERSONG? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

MontanaXVI · 08-10-2003, 03:51 AM

My girlfriend is starting some class and their first assignment was to say what their POWERSONG is, a song that really gets you up and going, usually fast tempo or paced, but something that can get you motivated to do almost anything when you hear it

I would have to say that mine is Not falling by Mudvayne

This song gets me fired up and ready to go no matter what

geto boys - damn it feels good to be a gangster

theguyondacouch · 08-10-2003, 02:12 PM

War pigs, danm, thats a good song

sixate · 08-10-2003, 02:41 PM

It depends. I have a few songs that when I listen to them I have to play it as loud as possible and make me want to smash someones face in. I usually listen to that stuff when I go to the gym. Songs include:

Pantera: Fucking Hostile
Metallica: Damage Inc
Fear Factory: Edgecrusher
Mudvayne: Nothing to Gain
Slayer: War Ensemble, Raining Blood... (Actually anything by Slayer)

And the list could go on, but I'm not that bored.

World's King · 08-10-2003, 05:30 PM

Rage Against the Machine - Ghost of Tom Joad

The original is good as well but the Rage version is a fucking classic.

YourNeverThere · 08-10-2003, 06:01 PM

oh man Worlds King your right, most of anything by Rage gets me going, but not as much as the song im listening to right now:
Virtual Insanity by Jamiroqui
I suggest that if anyone out there is feel sad, or demotivated, or happy, or pritty much any other emotion to spend the little time to download this great great song.

Spektr · 08-10-2003, 07:46 PM

Mos Def and Talib Kweli - Definition, Folk Implosion - Natural One and Moby - Landing would be three good ones for me
