There 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. Killing in the Name
“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). Blood
“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. Rock ‘N’ Roll Star (Album Version)
photog by flattop341
“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. For Reasons Unknown
“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. Where the Streets Have No Name
“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.Kickstart My Heart
“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. Rock And Roll (2007 Remastered Live Version From The Song Remains The Same)
“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. Soldier
“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. Hit ‘Em Up [Explicit]
“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. Master Of Puppets
“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. Welcome To The Jungle (Album Version)
“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? Cochise
“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. Feeling This
“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. A Decade Under The Influence
“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. Johnny B. Goode (Live At Berkeley Community Theater, Berkeley, CA)

I like those types of songs ‘mira’ where could i find more?
good stuff..
Is this your creation?
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/

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…
why the hell isn’t “you’re the best” from the karate kid in here!? thats the best song for getting pumped ever made!!
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.
all right i cant believe no 1 mentioned these i swim, i no what gets me pumped
all right
till i collapse by eminem
im me by lil wayne, (probably not your typical pump up song but, great for my case)
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
indestructible- disturbed
ok…my best songs to get me pumped up are
1.redneck-lamb of god
2. boom-soulfly
3.supafly-thousand foot krutch
4.ace of spades-motorhead
5.killing in the name of-rage against the machine
6.pulse of the maggots-slipknot
7.iron man-black sabbath
8.black dog-led zepplin
9.i stand alone-godsmack
10-nemisis-arch enemy
11.cowboys from hell-pantera
12.i wanna rock-twisted sister
13.the final countdown LOL JKJK
14eye of the tigerLOL JKJK
15. in all seriousness, if you wanna get pumped enough to like rip someone’s head off running around the end on an option,
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.
“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)
oh yeah, how could i forget, try listening to these bands if you wanna hit the gym,
bullet for my valentine “the poison” buy the whole album. it’s worth it.
ATREYU
blow.
becoming the bull
ex’s and oh’s
DEVIL DRIVER
any devil driver will get anyone wanting to kill someone.
SOULFLY
nu-metal will get anyone going i don’t care who you are, well any younger kids or young adults.
for all you old skool people like me (and i’m only 18)
70′S AND 80′S is the music to have.
i’m talking
NAZARETH

lol Diary of Jane sucks. Sorry I can’t take the list seriously when The Killers, Blink 182, and Taking Back Sunday are on it. 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”)

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

Endeverafter – Poison
Endeverafter – I Wanna Be Your Man
Guano Apes – Open Your Eyes
**************************************************************
Endeverafter – This band seriously needs some love, one of the best groups on the planet today in my opinion, I highly recommenced them. The epitome of Rock n Rock incarnate.
I personally listen to Led Zeppelin Immigrant Song, Green Day St Jimmy, Basement Jaxx Where’s your Head At, My Chemical Romance House of Wolves. I’m quite mainstream, but hey, whatever works right?
C’mon, guys, nobody even mentioed Rock of Ages by Def Leopard???
What about I’m Shipping up to boston by Dropkick Murphy’s?
You gotta be kiddin’ me. And someone mntioned Indestructable by Disturbed. That’s gotta be number one. Don’t forget Smells like Teen Spirit by Nirvana.
enter sandman – metallica
list of demands – saul williams
place for my head – linkin park
danger zone – kenny loggins
electric avenue – eddy grant
I’m Me and Best Rapper Alive by Lil Wayne

http://www.last.fm/music/He+Is+Legend/_/Stampede
http://www.last.fm/music/He+Is+Legend/_/Electronic+Throat
Hello? Eye of the Tiger? Best pumped up song EVER.
Ramstein- Bang Bang
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)
I don’t think that I saw “bodies” by drowning pool. That song can get anyone pumped up.
The song that get’s me the most pumped is Backbone by Gojira.
ok so i play alot of call of duty and online gaming and stuff and pretty much the only way to win is if im pumped as hell lol. i cant belive nobody has put up the GREATEST pumper upers (if you want to use my awesome made up words lol) EVER!! SLIPKNOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1- The Blister Exists
2- The Nameless
3- Pulse of the Maggots

this cocaine makes me feel like im on this song – system of a down
motorbreath – metallica

live wire – motley crue

play with me – extreme
walkin’ shoes – tora tora
bring the noise – anthrax
shout – black tide
bathroom wall – faster pussycat
rock you like a hurricane – scorpions
jailbreak – thin lizzy
survivor-eye of the tiger
survivor-burning heart
john parr-st elmo’s fire
Congrats, you just shattered the record for the most cliche music list of all time.
1. The Passenger – Iggy Pop
2. Cannonball – The Breeders
3. Aenima – Tool
4. Rock and Roll All Night – KISS
5. Angel of Death – Slayer
Laid to Rest – Lamb of god

Dehumanized- Disturbed
All Nightmare Long- Metallica

My Last Serenade- Killswitch Engage (Leech)
Man or Animal- Audioslave
The Flame- Chamaira
Just to name a few
I can’t believe none of you have mentioned “You Give Love a Bad Name” by Bon Jovi
Death of Me by Red
&
Get Crunk by Brokencyde
NONE of these songs would help you get pumped these songs however…..
Rock superstar- Cypress hill
What ive done- Linkin park
Headstrong- Trapt
Stronger- Kanye west
Lolipop (cover)- Framing hanley
Smooth criminal- Alien ant farm
Beat it- Fall out boy
Clearly, we all have different versions of “pumped up.” Personally, my “pumped up” soundtrack is a LOT different than my “wanting to rip someone’s head off” soundtrack.
And in terms of my own “pumped up,” just give me some speed jazz. Metal is great, but speed jazz is the SHIT.
definitely the best song to get me going
dream on–aerosmith
Seriously? That stuff is easy listening…
You underestimate the power of the darkside.
I am revitalized every time I listen to either of these albums:
Reign in Blood-Slayer
Twilight of the Idols-Gorgoroth
And don’t forget push-it by static-x thats an amazing song to get pumped to. Really any static-x song is great to get pumped to
i think down with the sickness by disturbed, and thunderstruck are the 2 best songs to get pumped to
My kind of Ultimate pump up song!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dx2rwsRCjQc
Have a listen to this! It always does it for me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQlFl3ER3h8
It needs to be LOUD!
Okay Okay you guys all have great points, i remember sitting at football games and listening to “Hells Bells”- AC/DC Right before our team ran on the field, the classic hair metal and even new hard rock will get pretty much anyone pumped up.. lol if you want to kill someone. And btw, Breaking Benjamin has better songs than Diary of Jane to get pumped on… I mean if you are pumped to go to bed, all for it.. but, you might want to pick something more along the line of Smile Empty Soul – Bottom of the Bottle, OkGo- Get over it, or HotHotHeat-Bandages before picking that song again.. oh and no one can pass up BassHunter hahaha sorry I’m a techno girl.. DOTA!!! Also Numa Numa gets you pretty hype by Ozone

Some of Tesla’s new album is fantastic, it was written whilst the singer was going through a divorce so there’s some pretty good stuff in there, and of course on their older albums. Has nobody mentioned The Prodigy yet??
HEART OF A CHAMPION
my favorite– Detroit City- Eminem and Trick Trick
here is my top 5
1. Redneck, Lamb of god-it just makes you wanna keep on goin till you cant no more.
2. Determined, Mudvayne- this song will chew you up and spit you out, leaving a feeling that you could take on an abrams tank with a plastic spork and a shoelace.
3.Dig, Mudvayne- each game i listen to this song in the locker room and i find myself immersing into an almos trance like state after.
4.Blood of the scribe, lamb of god-same as determined.
5. Lose yourself, Eminem- get a pair of speakers and this song on your ipod, play it and soon eneough youll have a riot once your team hits the field.
good list. eminem is my favorite to get pumped b4 football games. i listen to him on the bus to the game. loseyourself and till i colapse is the best by him but defense and detroit city are good songs too.

with me i leave it on repeat all the way through my workout sesh witch is three hours a day down at the local gym this is my weight training one anyway my cardio is alot more relaxed and rythmic to set a pace the music wills you on to keep that pace i use moslty songs like grand theft autumn by fall out boy it works because of the beat and because its an old school song for me things i used to listen to when i was younger so it one of those that reminds you of simpler times and ditracts you from the pain of your workout without stoping you or slowing your pace so for cardio workout music to keep you pumped you need to think of your own like that
