- mindcrime 4y agoFor running / mountain biking / lifting I have a number of specific songs I could call out. Too many to list. For other activities, like reading, or coding, I think in terms of genres not individual songs. So when I'm reading for example, I'll just go to Youtube and put on a playlist of classical or synthwave (usually). For coding I might go with classical, synthwave, blues, or even metal. To go back to the running/biking/lifting thing, here are a few of my standout songs: * Black Sabbath - Iron Man * Motley Crue - Kickstart My Heart * Iron Maiden - Die With Your Boots On * Metallica - Seek and Destroy * Whitesnake - Bad Boys * AC/DC - Who Made Who * AC/DC - Hells Bells * AC/DC - Thunderstruck * AC/DC - Highway to Hell * Judas Priest - Breaking The Law * Motley Crue - Wildside * Armored Saint - Burning Question * Armored Saint - Last Train Home * Anthrax - Indians * Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction * Motorhead - Ace of Spades * W.A.S.P. - King of Sodom and Gomorrah * W.A.S.P. - Wild Child * W.A.S.P. - Restless Gypsy * K.I.S.S. - Pyschocircus * Whitesnake - Children of the Night * K.I.S.S. - Lick It Up * Cinderella - Somebody Save Me * Cinderella - Push Push * Cinderella - Hell on Wheels And about twelve bazillion more
