The Top 15 Songs to Get You Pumped Up

January 28, 2008 BY jkingsbury 





Girl with HeadphonesThere are moments in life when you need to get jacked up. They could be when you’re preparing for a big presentation, going to the gym, getting ready for a big game, going out for a run or just needing to feel the blood and adrenaline rushing through your veins to remind you that you are alive.

Music consisting of a pattern of sounds and silences constructed into an art form is the most consistent way that I know to get amped up. A top 10 list is too restrictive, so I busted out 15 highly diversified, high-octane songs to get you pumped up (in no particular order). Enjoy.

“Killing in the Name of” by Rage Against the Machine

Zach de la Rocha brings an unbridled fire that rages through his lyrics, and his pleas for activism make you want to take on the whole world. With a war waging in Iraq, there is no better time than now to dust off this track and listen to Zach’s poetic guttural overture to think and act for ourselves and not do what we’re told. Link to song

“Blood” by Pearl Jam

“Blood” is Eddie Vedder’s punch in a 1-2 combination that knocks you down to the canvas looking for oxygen. If you want to lift a small Volkswagen off the ground or just need to get amped at the gym, this track will get you there. This is one of the craziest songs I’ve seen live in concert. With the combination of a strobe light in the background and Eddie going ballistic, the crowd was worked up into such a frenzy that the riot police subsequently quelled with a pepper bomb (like a stink bomb but filled with OC gas). Link to song

“Rock N Roll Star” by Oasis

Oasis bangs out this masterpiece that reminds you what you really wanted to be as a kid. You’ll want to take your car and drive really far but there’s no easy way out. Link to song

“For Reasons Unknown” by The Killers

The Killers crank out an anthem of longing for that time when things were right and perfect with that special someone. With one deep breath and one big step, Brandon Flowers will get you up and jumping for when your heart beat like it used too. Link to song

“Where the Streets Have No Name” by U2

There is never enough that can be said about this magnum opus. The best is the live version from Boston. You could tear down walls and build and burn down love with this as your soundtrack. Because really, it’s all you can do. Link to song

“Kickstart My Heart” by Motley Crue

Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, Mick Mars and Tommy Lee created one of the best songs to get you pumped up ever. Their hard-living lifestyle and general decadence was the inspiration for this 80’s anthem.

“In 1987, Sixx suffered a near-fatal heroin overdose. He was declared legally dead on the way to the hospital, but one medic refused to give up and gave Sixx two shots of adrenaline to the heart, bringing him back to life. His few minutes in death were the inspiration for the band’s song “Kickstart My Heart.” [via Wikipedia]

Play it loud enough and you might even be tempted to sky dive naked from an airplane. Link to song

“Rock and Roll” by Led Zeppelin

“Rock and Roll” is how the west was won. Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and John Bonham bust onto the scene in 1968 and we’ve been counting our lucky stars ever since. This should be your first track that you listen to when you get behind the wheel of a Porsche, Ferrari or Lamborghini for the first time. Crank it all the way up, stomp the gas pedal to the floorboard and beg the cops to catch you as you wave them the middle finger. They might carry you back to jail, but you won’t forget about the time you rock and rolled. Link to song

“Soldier” by Eminem

Eminem’s “Soldier” is a perfect workout song. You’ll get so jacked up that your shoulders will hold so much, won’t budge, never fall or fold up. Even if your collar bones crush or crumble. Link to song

“Hit ‘Em Up” by Tupac

Tupac’s “Hit ‘Em Up” is a lyrical assault on Biggie Smalls. 2Pac accused Biggie of setting him up in regards to his shooting in 1994. What’s better than a revenge song to get you pumped up? Nothing because you’re about to feel the wrath of a menace. Link to song

“Master of Puppets” by Metallica

“Master of Puppets” is one of the first songs I listened to as a teenager. Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield kick off this killer track with what Total Guitar magazine called “the greatest riff of all time.” If it doesn’t get your blood pumping, you’re clinically dead. Link to song

“Welcome to the Jungle” by Guns N’ Roses

Gun’s N’ Roses gives Metallica a run for their money with “Welcome to the Jungle.” You know where you are? You’re in the jungle, baby. You’re gonna die. There’s not much I can add to top your appetite for destruction. Link to song

“Cochise” by Audioslave

“Cochise” can best be illustrated by watching the music video. Fireworks mixed with a devilish bass line and Chris Cornell’s throaty rage to go and save yourself. Can you ask for much more? Link to song

“Feeling This” by Blink 182

Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker lay all out on “Feeling This.” Show me the bedroom floor. Show me the bathroom mirror. “Feeling This” will show you the way you move. And that I got no regret right now. Link to song

“A Decade Under the Influence” by Taking Back Sunday

Taking Back Sunday delivers with “A Decade Under the Influence.” Adam Lazzara and John Nolan’s screaming back and forth that they got a bad feeling about this takes angst to the next level. Juices will be sure to be flowing. Link to song

“Johnny B. Goode” by Jimi Hendrix

Finally, Jimi Hendrix finishes off with a live rendition of Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode.” Asking the crowd if it’s too loud, they respond “No way!” Ranked by Rolling Stone as the 7th greatest song of all time, the guitar licks and driving beat will have you yelling, “Go, go, Johnny, go, go!” It’s literally a rock-and-roll version of the American dream. For that blessing, we can never give Chuck Berry enough praise. Link to song

Did I leave something off the list? Feel free to leave a comment with your top songs to get you pumped up.

    4. We Are the Champions - Queen (Classic)

    “Asterick”, by M83.
    http://miramadethis.com/media/asterick.mp3

    I don’t suggest listening to this on a daily basis, though. It can get you addicted. And by the end of day, you’ll max out your energy.

  10. David on January 30th, 2008 11:04 pm

    I like those types of songs ‘mira’ where could i find more?

    Hey David. Cool playlist on your last.FM, especially diggin’ “Pingback”. You’re probably the 3rd person that I personally know who listens to metal. Reminds me of my friend who’s a fan of Dragon Force (or something like that?). :)

    I usually listen to epic/instrumental rock (i.e, Godspeed, you black emperor and Mogwai) to get me either relaxed or pumped.

    I’m not registered anywhere w/ a music playlist, but uh… the closest would be: http://www.thesixtyone.com/johnnywolfe/collection/22236/

  39. Jess on November 9th, 2008 12:43 am

    Arkangel - Higher
    At the Drive-In - One Arm Scissor
    Bad Religion - Ten in 2010
    Basement Jaxx - Romeo
    Billy Talent - Try Honesty
    Billy Idol - Rebel Yell
    Parliment Funkidelic - Flashlight
    Parliment Funkidelic - Mothership Connection

  41. Alex Rochon on November 9th, 2008 2:26 pm

    Perhaps I have inherent bias towards heavy metal, but honestly, why is there no Motörhead on here? This particular list could be made ENTIRELY with Motörhead if necessary. Ace of Spades, Bomber, Iron Fist, Another Perfect Day, Dirty Love, Live To Win, No Class, The Hammer, Iron Horse, (We Are) The Road Crew, Metropolis, Overkill, Limb from Limb, Mean Machine, and Motörhead are good starts…

  42. aidan on November 11th, 2008 4:08 pm

    why the hell isn’t “you’re the best” from the karate kid in here!? thats the best song for getting pumped ever made!!

  43. Victor on November 11th, 2008 4:33 pm

    Thank you for straying from the metal… but you didn’t go far enough.

    The obvious #1 pump up song of all time is Sirius by Alan Parsons Project. Ask Michael Jordan.

  44. bored on November 12th, 2008 9:39 pm

    all right i cant believe no 1 mentioned these i swim, i no what gets me pumped

    all right

    till i collapse by eminem

    lose yourself by eminem
    remember the name by fort minor
    stronger by kanye west

    o and dont forget through the fire and flames by dragonforce
    and……..
    THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!! lol

  45. the Extreme on December 6th, 2008 5:52 am

    RIDE THE LIGHTNING BY METALLICA or just have any old metallica, motorhead, or powerman 5000 song in your head. ok with an exception of “whiskey in the bottle” lol

    if you drive a trans am you might wanna hit up some stix or somethin cause you won’t like any of that.

  48. nathan on January 20th, 2009 1:33 am

    “line in the sand” by motorhead
    “fury of the storm” by dragonforce wayyy better than through the fire and the flames.
    “this fire burns” by killswitch engaged
    AND FOR ALL OF YOU DRAGONFORCE FANS, I’D RECOMMEND YOU LISTENING TO “SYMPHONY X” THEY PLAY JUST AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER WITHOUT THE 80′S HAIR METAL VOICE. (not saying anything is wrong with 80’s hair metal, i love it. just not with drums that sound like machine guns and guitars so fast you can’t even see their fingers all you see is a blur)

  49. nathan on January 20th, 2009 1:42 am

I remember when Taking Back Sunday used to get me pumped, back in the 9th grade when my max bench was 135 lbs. If you’re going to the gym or about to play a football game here are some songs you need on your ipod playlist:

    Valient Thorr- Heatseeker
    Valient Thorr- Red Flag
    Valient Thorr- Showdown
    Metallica- Metal Militia (or anything from their 1st album “Kill Em All”)
    Metallica- Fight Fire With Fire
    Black Label Society- Suicide Messiah
    AC/DC- For Those About to Rock
    Iron Maiden- The Trooper
    Judas Priest- Metal Meltdown
    Lamb of God- Descending
    Mastodon- Blood and Thunder
    Pantera- Mouth of War
    The Sword- Freya

    If you want to get pumped up for something stay in the Metal genre of music thats your best bet.

    Riot - Three Days Grace
    Sex On Fire - Kings Of Leon

  69. Firebrand37 on May 5th, 2009 6:15 am

    Feeling This by Blink 182 may be there worst song in the endless line of terrible songs that band has created. The rest of the list was pretty fantastic but this song just comes off as whiny and annoying. Of course if by “pumped up” you meant “pissed off” then I guess this song would accomplish that goal. (Richard Cheese’s version however is epic)

  70. magnum on May 8th, 2009 9:43 am

    I don’t think that I saw “bodies” by drowning pool. That song can get anyone pumped up.
