...particularly when you are in the gym but it could count for anywhere.

Ill start with Guns N Roses Appetite, you cant go wrong there. Metallica's Black album fits nicely into this category as well. From the rap side id side with Meth and Red's Blackout.

I'll go with Vassline. It's in Korean so the Koreans blaring their K-pop will understand some lyrics.

If it's at the gym:

Pink Floyd - Echoes
Pantera - Vulgar display of power
8 Foot Sativa - Season for Assault
System of a Down - System of Down
Marlyn Manson - Antichrist Superstar

With the volume up, that soul destroying k-pop never gets a second of my gym time.

Something loud with good bass lines and guitar riffs.....(this is what I had playing on mine. They all have good beats/speed, are easy to listen to, good vocals, and loud enough on minimal volume that you can drown out the music, the TVs, conversations, it's nice)

Specific songs:

I stand alone--Godsmack
Bodies hit the floor--Staind (or is it Stained...can't remember)
Come out and Play--Offspring
Closer---Nine Inch Nails
Dead Souls--Nine Inch Nails
Rob Zombie--More Human than Human


Various songs
Type O Negative
AC/DC
Alice Cooper
Def Leppard
Motley Crue
Ozzy
Poison
Kid Rock
Cherry Poppin Daddies (Swing music is good for keeping the rhythm going).

Sam Kinison, George Carlin, Dennis Leary, and Chris Rock are all decent for blocking it out and occasionally getting strange looks from those around you as you start laughing for apparently no reason. Laughing

Sorry, but if you think CPD are swing, you obviously haven't listened to a lot of jazz.

I call it what it's classified on the music charts and in stores. Personally I don't care for jazz, but that's me...my music is eclectic, but jazz is not in there. Smile

2) Who should "try it"?

I don't like swing music/jazz as a general genre. There's the one particular album by one group and occasional songs here and there. My high school had a big jazz band and a there was a yearly jazz festival on Memorial day, both of them I avoided like the plague Smile. Jazz is just something I never really got into.

Too bad. I've been listening to a lot of Duke Ellington. That's swing. Cherry Poppin' Daddies is more of a rock band with horns.

Well the majority of the jazz that was played in high school and at the festival was Dixieland, that's what's turned me off of the genre for the most part. I know I shouldn't judge a whole genre by one sub category but we all have our preferences. If you know a place that plays anything besides K-pop, hip-hop, rap and over sampled/badly translated Western music...then please let me know...I'm getting a little bored listening to the same songs on the ipod.

Oh to the OP...sorry for hijacking/derailing the thread Embarassed
