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
|

|
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 |

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) |

Either that or Dead Kennedy's Viva Las Vegas! |
Aenima - TOOL
learn to swim fuckers |
Pantera: Fucking Hostile

Corporate Avenger - Christians Murdered Indians |
I think this usually counts as driving songs- anything by:
Murder City Devils Nashville Pussy Rocket From the Crypt |
Anything by RATM.
|
Can't believe no one said Edgar Winter's 'Frankenstein'... I know is really old school classic rock and all, but man, besides low-rider, its like the ultimate cruisin' song. Fun as hell to play on guitar too.... gets u just as pumped playing as listening.
|
The bands:
White Stripes The Doors System of a Down The Refreshments STP The songs: Closer Sweet Home Alabama the Offspring song about road rage (what was the name of that?) Spiderwebs Tank! Ain't Going Down (Till The Sun Comes Up) Ironman |
When I'm in a good mood:
Joan Jett Lunachicks Senor Coconut When I'm otherwise: Ammo Xebox Hypnoskull |
Anything Slayer gets me...particularly God Hates us All.
|
Lots of metal fans here makes me happy...
Dead Embryonic Cells by Sepultura... Pretty much anything by Sepultura w/ Max Cavalera. Refuse/Resist is great, Attitude, Inner Self, Inquisition Symphony. I like sepultura. :) |
Won't Get Fooled Again and Baba O'Riley by The Who. Those power chords that you just know are accompanied by classic Pete Townshend guitar windmills get me every time. Plus, Roger Daltrey's bloodcurling scream at the end of Won't Get Fooled Again is quite therapeutic to, um, scream along to.

Quote:
Almost every damn on of those songs would be mine. I'd have to add a few of Coal Chambers songs, a bunch of Prodigy, a couple from Taproot, some of the old Static X(Love Dump, as scarey as it was, was definately a good song, maybe not for the lyrics though) a few more of Slipknot(They're the reason I like heavy music, not some teenie bopper crap), Primer 55 has a couple songs that get me goin. I think I'm gonna stop before I think of anymore... I think I might print this thread out so when I get my cable modem down at school, I'll remember what songs to dl... |

Anything from Misfits gets me going and in a good mood, Hybrid Moments seems to be the song that lately I like to listen to right before I go out for the evening.
|
Dimmu Borgir - Mourning Palace. Slow and aggressive. If I'm annoyed and then listen to this track, I build up a rage I can't really control.
Dimmu Borgir - Entrance. Always gives me the creeps and makes me want to kill myself and everybody around me |
Pantera - Suicide Note part 2
Slipknot - (sic) |

Bonecrusher-Never Scarred
DMX-The Ruff Ryder's Anthem The Requiem Overture(its a classical-type song, the score from Requiem for a Dream originally, but was adapted for LOTR:TTT, and its badass.) |
Southside Johnny doing the Fever (or I Don't Want To Go Home)
|
I can't believe no one's said Aphex Twin - Come To Daddy... wins hands down, in my opinion.
And a song called "Fuck Happy" by DJ Buzz Fuzz. Hardcore shit. |
Every song on AC/DC "Highway to Hell"
|
Coal Chamber - Something Told Me to Tell You
Slipknot - Wait and Bleed |
