    And you know you're really old when they stop playing the music you consider "oldies" on the oldies stations and start playing the music of your youth...it'll happen to you too @MorganD

    @MorganD:  hate to break it to you, but Nirvana are older than me!  My 20's something neighbor came home one night to his dad drinking a 6 pack and blasting Nirvana or Peal Jam, don't remember which.  He was appalled that his 50 year old dad was listening to this cranked up at 3 a.m.  I just laughed at him.  and laughed and laughed when I told him they were probably older than his dad.

    @morgand acdc is my favorite! back when i was single and childless they were my drinking band .. now theyre my workout band... although sometimes when i run on the treadmill with it on i get the strangest urge to start taking shots of jack daniels.. weird ..
  • MorganD
    Posts: 3,451Member
    @BellaBefana They still rock. But I can't seem to get into most 80s bands. Then again, I was born in the 80s, so I can't bring that decade down too much.lol However, I do love the 70s. :)

    @warriormommy3 lol I don't really have a drinking band, since I don't drink, but I do have dancing bands. Sometimes I blast stuff and can't stay still!

    A sample of some of my favs.  I need to have upbeat songs when Im working out.

    Lots of Black Eyed Peas - Lets Get it Started, Boom Boom Pow, Time, Imma Be

    Pink: Raise your glass, So What, Stupid Girls

    Queen: Fat Bottom Girls (inspiration..lol)

    Three Doors Down: Kryptonight, Here without you

    Theory of a Deadman: Bitch Came Back

    Three Days Grace: Animal I have become

     And when Im having a really shitty day, I HAVE To have Limp Bizkits: Break Stuff

     

     

    There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other. Which one are you?

    If I need to get my ass in gear, it's probably Korn, Pearl Jam, Guns N' Roses, Metallica, or something like Pink (girl power and all ;-) ). But to workout, it's gotta have a beat that goes on and on...Lil' Wayne or Pharrell.

    Not weird at all! My daughter likes that song...She hates Pump It Up though. Whenever I play it she yells: "NOTTTTT THAT SONG!!!!"

    I forgot Search & Destroy by the Stooges and a bunch more I love but can't think of.

    Static-X, Sepultura, Lamb of God. Heavy metal has a really good,fast beat to run to. For low impact I usually stick to my faves: Clutch, Tool, APC, Puscifer.

    I beg to differ on that, @kiinu! Static-X and Powerman 5000 provide excellent running music. Check them out!
