High Energy Music- What Do You Play to Get Motivated?

I was going to add some of these to the 1980's thread but it has been inactive for over a year. I came of age during that decade and really enjoyed hard rocking music. I still listen to it today when I want to get fired up for something. Here are some of my favorites in no particular order:

The Cult - Wildflower: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_FxxRTiiKE


Metallica - Seek and Destroy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVM8DUhdLyo


Ozzy Osbourne- Bark at the Moon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F89-MOy7Xfg


AC/DC- TNT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR30knJs4Xk


Sammy Hagar- I Can't Drive 55 (If you're too young to remember the National Maximum Speed Law consider yourself fortunate): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10X3zJpMDMo

So what songs do you listen to when you're looking for some added intensity?

I'd love to change the world

Pump up songs eh? Just about every Epic Rap Battle of History. May be a little....vulgar but it makes me feel hype

IM REALLY FEELING IT

This is always blasting out of my headphones when I need to get things done

While I did not grow up in the age when (imo) music was the best (pre-1990s pretty much...).

Added Intensity/Motivation when gaming:

• Here I Go Again - Whitesnake
• Danger Zone - Kenny Loggins
• Takin Care of Business - BTO
• Have a Nice Day - Bon Jovi
• Old Time Rock and Roll - Bob Seger
• Take on Me - A-Ha
• It's my Life - Bon Jovi
• Trololo - Eduard Khil (lol, had to be added... had to!)
• Whats this?...

I have more. I like the songs in your list, I feel like most of the music I listen to (70-80s rock) has that sort of added intensity or motivation in some cases to it. Not saying there isn't that kind of feel in modern music, just feel like most of the songs in my favorites list could be listed here.

True Survivor- David Hasselhof

Also, Drake, French Montana (only Figure It Out), Hardwell, Kygo, and Alesso along with some other miscellaneous Djs are what I listen to to get motivated.

Trance - 009 Sound System Dreamscape (HD) long edit

Darude Sandstorm 10 Hours

And when I want to kick it old school:
The Groveline "Extended" - Heatwave

Nicotine - Panic At The Disco

I like it. How about some old school electro-funk?

Newcleus- Jam On It: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Y8O2x3HAg8

Midnight Star- Electricity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7C3lH-vV_lk

Hmmm When it comes to motivation and such then I most often prefer no music Helps keep me stay focussed, and well, once I am focussed on something I usually don't hear the music anyway. Wouldn't be the first time I turned on some "mood music" (say Pink Floyd) and started working on something and when I eventually finished I end up surprised to learn that the music had already stopped

But... Intensifying music eh?

M, Above & Beyond remix - Ayumi Hamasaki
For whom the bell tolls - Metallica
Suicide Solution - Ozzy Osbourne (where "that" live performance is my absolute favourite)
Tamashii no Rufuran - Megumi Hayashibara
Expendable youth - Slayer
Skeletons of society - Slayer
Raining blood - Slayer
Replica - Origa
Inner universe - Origa
One man stands - Anthrax

Some things which pop up from mind just now

Where my overall favourite is probably For whom the bell tolls

Oh well...

When I need energy I go to my drum'n'bass playlist on my Google Play account. Here are some youtube videos of what I have on there:





and it goes on and on.....

when I'm ready for a cooldown:





Yes yes yes, I freakin LOVE Logistics and Hospitality Records in general

I know none of you are actually going to click and listen to any of these songs but they are so gd beautiful and inspiring to me.

MY HERO
KANYE WEST - STRONGER (might be explicit)

yasss but I have to add:


I have some more but need to look at my playlist
