What is your POWERSONG?
 

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

Fun Zone by Weird Al

geto boys - damn it feels good to be a gangster

War pigs, danm, thats a good song

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.

Rage Against the Machine - Ghost of Tom Joad

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

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.

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

You read my mind on that one. Another good one is New World Order by Megadeth.

Pretty much anything off of the Broken EP by Nine Inch Nails, especially Wish and Gave Up

Metallica: Damage Inc.
Metallica: Battery
Metallica: Four Horsemen
Metallica: Blackened
Metallica: Eye of the Beholder
Metallica: Frayed Ends of Sanity
Metallica: Leper Messiah
Metallica: Shoot Me Again
Metallica: Master of Puppets

Thats just to name a few :p

No matter what kind of mood I'm in, whenever I hear that song I think to myself "what a great fucking song" and have a smile after that.

Tool- 46&2

semi-charmed life

Pantera: Fucking Hostile
Slayer: Raining Blood
Entombed: Out of hand, In the flesh

Rage Against the Machine - Freedom
Rage Against the Machine - Settle For Nothing
Rage Against the Machine - How I Could Just Kill a Man
And basically any other Rage song, those three get me going the most though.

Mower - Shut up and Skate (If i am going skating)

Definitely the theme from Titanic! It's just so beautiful it makes me feel like I'm flying.

Either that or Dead Kennedy's Viva Las Vegas!

Pantera: Fucking Hostile
Mudvayne: Dig
Prong: Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck
Metallica: Master of Puppets

I could go on, but those are my main four.

I get this feeling from you... and I'm not a smart man...

but I get this feeling that you really like Metallica.

YES! That song does rule. Its my power song as well. Quite frankly, I'm surpised its not on more people's lists.

Ani Difranco, " Here For Now" on Evolve. Latin and really a screamer. BTW, never drive with it. Bad news for your driving record....

oh... and "What How When Where" off of So much shouting so much laughter.
