Trying to make some great CD's to climb to, so i thought people could give some ideas on there favourite songs that really get them modivated to climb, or songs that get them really pumped.

I'll start off the list, Sinnerman by Simone, Felix da Housecat Remix

I don't care if it's classical/rap/or anything inbetween, as long as it's good

I think climbing while listening to music would mess up communication between leader and belayer.

Best music to chill to post climb with a beer and friends: Keller Williams, The String Cheese Incident, Carbon Leaf, or O.A.R.

Man left out Allman Brothers Band. Nice choice of String Cheese. Came up with a few more CCR, Dave Mathews, Gary Jules, Great Big Sea, Real Big Fish, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones just to hear Victor Wooten play bass-the man is insanly awsome (he is to the bass what Hendrix was to the guitar), The Vines, and The Strokes. I'm sure I can come up with more.

I train to a lot of different music, depending on my mood.

right off hand:
Nine Inch Nails
Boy Hits Car
Vast
Tool
Perfect Circle
Pennywise
Bad Religion
Green Day
NOFX
Breaking Benjamin
Chevelle
Stabbing Westward
Saves The Day
Rage Against the Machine
Rusted Root
Grateful Dead
Jurassic 5
Chemical Brothers
Wilco
Uncle Tupelo

I could go on, but I think you get the point. Anything that gets me moving goes on the training mix.

Now Gregorian Chant is the sh@#, but WTF? Clay Aiken or Ashlee Simpson? I distinctly recall that the OP asked about the best songs to climb to which would imply music and not talentless noise. After listening to anything by either one of those two I want to bash my head through a wall. I think if I heard that while climbing I'd end up doing a a la Vertical Limit cutting of the rope.

An appropriate song would be 'Moving on up' by M-People. Not a great song, however the lyrics are quite apt, particularly when one is attemptig the crux.
'Moving on up....
Moving on up...
Time to break free...
Nothing can stop me...'

i'd go with moloko, underworld or muse. Good stuff for doing tough climbs.

For a relaxed at the gym, The Slackers would seem most appropriate. Gotta love rocksteady and ska. 8^)

The corniest song for climbing has got to be "stairway to heaven".

In Masters of Stone Five is a band called Sangano. After much searching I found them and just got the CD they recently put out. Good stuff. Let me know if you are interested, I like to help support really underappreciated bands.

It depends on the kind of climbing I am doing:

Alpine: Metallica (Black Album, And Justice For All)
Lincoln Park
George Acosta PM or AM Mix
Incubus

Gym: Jurrasic 5
Hieroglyfics
Method Man
Dungeon Familly
Oddities
Swollen Members
Blackalicous
The Gza

I don't really have the music going anywhere else, but I will listen to some Dispatch, Ben Harper, Nora Jones and the like in camp. I did find one thing. If you are on a long trip with no women be sure to have a lot of music with female vocalists it is really soothing.

And props on the Sangano. Whatever song is going when Potter soloes that 12d is unreal.

wait lemme get this straight...all you guys climb with headphones in your ears!? Oh my god. That sounds about as far away from the climbing experiences that I like to have as possible. I n the gym while training sure thats great but outside in the wilderness? It just sounds foreign to me. Who doesn't want to hear the wind, the silence, a hawk, your partner!. I mean siging some songs is totally fun but putting headphones in my ears and taking away from the natural beaty of my surroundings is the absolute last thing I would ever do. This is not to mention the fact that climbing with headphones in is about dangerous as it gets. I would never allow anyone I climb with to have headphones in.. Ya know why. because I have learned that I never know exactly what could happen next. Might wanna rethink outdoor climbing with music blaring in your ears. And don't get me wrong I am big into music, and I play the guitar. The idea of carrying headphones along on a climb seems so rediculous to me I just can't go on anymore. I'm done.

Dude, don't worry, I've never met anyone who ever mentioned climbing with headphones. What I'm posting is what is blasting in the car on the way to the trailhead, and I imagine that is the same for everyone else.

Adding to the list: The Toadies "Live from Paradise", The Presidents of the United States of America (sounds cliche mid-90s, but they rock), Everclear, Foo Fighters, and believe it or not Blues Traveler has some 'metalish' songs on "Live from the Fall."

Back to Sangano, "Tomorrow" is playing when Dean is soloing that climb, and the word on the street is that it will be included in their next CD. Once again, if anybody is interested, let me know.

Morphine! No more, no less. Sandmans lyrics just slide out as his custom 2 string base purrs with the howl of a saxaphone coupled with a drummer make for my favourtie sounds! Tragically Sandman's gone so no new stuff will ever surface.

A few of the lyrcis in tool

"This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal
All this pain is an illusion.

Twirling round with this familiar parable.
Spinning, weaving round each new experience.
Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing.

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. We are eternal.
All this pain is an illusion."

Chevelle - Closure

"Breathe, trust, bless me and release,
Climb, hard or never be seen.
Closed off, rescue to breathe.
Just bless me.

Two sided time,
Your rebirth can't hurt,
Branch out behind, the pain.

Closure has come to me myself,
You will never belong to me.
Closure has come to me myself,
You will never belong to me.

Had to to turn, lay down,
Your sting of disease.
Phase you out, should've seen this coming.
Go on confusing the soul,
Hold my breath 'til you rupture."

The white stripes can get you pumped for climbing. The Music is good too.

On the way home i pop in Iron and Wine or Ez3kiel (featured on a couple Petzl videos).

As much as it pains me to say - my boyfriend's heavy metal music is the only type that really psychs you up when climbing (even me). i've come to love "in flames" and a bit of "iron maiden". Most guys would thrive off it when climbing i reckon...

i just hope he doesn't read that i've admitted this!

Anything by Tangerine Dream, Steve Reich or John Digweed/Sasha. Then again, music has it's seperate individual effects on people, so chances are this will mean nothing.

The songs the birds sing.
The singing of the wind through the pines.
The shuffeling of gear.

just to name a few ...
