One Song Limit -- Your Song Is?

Per the last podcast, if you could only have one song to train to, what would it be?

IRON MAIDEN Run to the Hills – that song turns my legs into lighting bolts like no other.

Fortunately, I don’t have to make that choice because there are many other songs that have their own utility.

Nirvana - Lounge Act is my go to 19 min ramp test song, so I choose that one

For whom the bell tolls, Metallica

Rise and fall of bossanova only because it’s the longest recorded song ever. 13 hours 23 minutes.

Edit: but if only for a work out and being realistic. Killing in the name, rage against the machine.

“It gets better” by Swedish house mafia is my recent go fast song

Duality by Slipknot

Muse - knights of Cydonia

I have two that I go to pretty regularly when I need something to pull me out of the depths. Bulls on Parade (RATM) and Walk (Pantera). If I can only have one, I’d say Walk.

Planisphere, by Justice. 17 and a half minutes of a lyric free intense build.

Techno (sort of): Last Night on Earth, Nigel Stanford remix

Build: All Along the Watchtower, Dave Matthew’s Band Live at Central Park (12 min) - great for that last sweet spot interval

Just one more VO2 interval: just about anything from Metallica (old school, especially One) or Linkin Park

Just to prove that one song forever would be terrible, my song used to be Linkin Park - Faint. I listened to it so many times when I first got back on the trainer last year (before signing up for Spotify for some variety) that I now can’t listen to it (or almost any Linkin Park song). I hope/assume it’ll come back to me.

Very difficult decision, but right now I’m going for my all time favourite song, so it would be:

Run DMC - It’s Like That

Best suited for Threshold/Sweet Spot.

All Along the Watchtower (Hendrix version) is a good one!

I would pick this remix of Sordid Affair any day, it’s both uplifting and keeps a good groove.

Been playing this one when the FTP/ramp test is peaking, and am loving it!

Me trying to fall asleep… and going through the The Prodogy portfolio trying to decide which one should be putted forward.:exploding_head::exploding_head::exploding_head:

VOODOO PEOPLE - The Prodogy

I could easily have chosen something from Range Against The Machine… but I really need to fall asleep :sweat_smile:

Bad Brains - House of Suffering, especially for the last bit of a ramp test.

Rush is prominently featured in many of my training playlists.

Agree, there are many pieces of music I turn off because I burnt myself out on them.

BOC - Don’t Fear The Reaper

It’s almost spot on five minutes. Plus… cowbell

(on edit - Almost all of my favorite cycling workout songs are in the 140 BPM range. Not an accident).

AC/DC Highway to Hell

Recently “The Only Thing They Fear Is You” - Mick Gordon has been helping me Rip and Tear through some intervals.

Gotta be Points of Authority/99 Problems/One Step Closer by Jayz and Linkin Park. Just the changes of tempo and it finishes so hard it gets me every time. And “I got 99 problems, bein a b!?$& ain’t one”
