Inspiring or Motivational Tunes

[ianeddy44]

Let's discuss what kinds of music (or specific songs if you have any) get you particularly pumped or motivated to conquer whatever you find yourself facing. It doesn't have to be limited to motivation, let's discuss songs/genres that you'll listen to while you're working out, doing homework, doing physical work, etc. Basically, what gets you in the mood to "do"? For bonus points: Share a small list for others to feel awesome too.

For a start, this thread was inspired by my rather fervored singing and air-drumming to 30 Seconds To Mars' "Kings And Queens" & "This Is War" as well as The Parlor Mob's "Can't Keep No Good Boy Down".

Ah yes, Gurren Lagann! That reminds me of Death Note because they're both some of the few animes I've seen. Death Note has some fantastic music, and L's Theme and Light's Theme both fit into some pretty epic motivational songs. I'll listen to them while I'm drawing, usually.

well lately I've been pretty into this song. It has a nice 'spring' feeling to it. Plus it gets bonus points for being the only song I can remember with Queen Latifah in it.


seriously though, after a long Canadian winter nothing is better than some hip-hop and some sunshine.

 

[Relish in Chaos]

The "Rocky" films' soundtracks.

This seems to work pretty well when you need to get motivated for chores.

And this goes without saying:

Though songs that you like personally seem to make things a million times easier, these just came to my mind first.

[Daystar Clarion]

Now, I'm motivated!



A Ghost in the Shell and Devil May Cry reference all in one post? You better believe it.

Great songs to begin a workout to:

Spoiler: Lose yourself - Eminem

Seriously, listen to that song and tell me that you are not pumped. You can't do it, can you!?! It's impossible!!!

My personal favorite to play before a soccer match:

Spoiler: Getting Away with Murder - Papa Roach

Get it? I'm about to "murder" the other team on the scoreboard and get away with it! HA, I'm so clever...

"I SWEAR MY SPIRIT WILL NEVER FALL!"​

 

[Eddie the head]

These Colours Don't Run comes to mind as well as The Longest Day as well as The Legacy. You know what most things off of A Matter Of Life And Death.
Also Stand Up and Shout but hay.

Turisas!

I tend to favour 'Battle Metal' and 'Stand Up and Fight' as my inspirational morning song's

'Protectors of the Earth' by Two Steps from Hell.
Always gets me pumped. Choir, Drums and Orchestra. Its just one of those songs that can make anything sound epic IMO.

This is a pretty inspiring and epic song, too. Your post reminded me of it.

It's not a motivational music thread without this one.

Since I have no idea how to post videos or links, I'll just name it:
Heart of Steel - Manowar
Word of warning: it's metal, so sorry if it's not your thing.

 

[Dark Prophet]

It always makes me feel good
