ITT: We list good music that gets you into the right frame of mind

[The_Reaper]

Every be feeling like an AFC, low in spirits, wussy-like, and then suddenly hear a song, and boom, you're smacked back into shape.

Eminem's "Criminal" did this to me once.

Other good songs would be songs where a woman is singing about how crazy she is about some mysterious guy.

I'll download any songs here that people suggest.

Stratovarius - Eagleheart

This is one of my favorite songs of all time, by my favorite band of all time.... :rockon:

If you read the lyrics (which are posted on the right-hand side of the link I have provided below), they tell about the story a young man who turns his miserable life around solely through his own power of will

Nothing can be more in line with the original philosophy of this site

Holding Out For a Hero - Bonnie Tyler

Other good songs would be songs where a woman is singing about how crazy she is about some mysterious guy.

Got just what you're looking for right here my man :yes:

Although it's not rap, heavy metal or any of the other traditional "Alpha-Male" music genres, the premise of this song is that she is calling out for a true man aka a "Don Juan"

She's tired of all the AFCs that are running around in the world today (even though the song was made in 1985) and she will gladly hold out and wait for a real man to come along

Here's another interesting rendition of the I Need a Hero song....

Prisoners in a Filipino correctional facility a beautifully coregraphed dance for the entertainment of others

Kinda makes you wish the authorities in Western countries were more like this doesn't it?
Making prisoners actually do something productive with their lives while there instead of just playing basketball and killing eachother with knives...

Surely this can be a valid reason for the establishment of an Authoritarian government? :yes:

[I'm in the Mood]

Biggie - Hypnotize/Gimmie the Loot/Kick in the Door/The What/Going Back to Cali

I like "One More Chance" by Biggie - very player-y music

 

[I'm in the Mood]

^yeah I must agree with that. I didn't list it cause I have it off ready to die and never listen to it much since the phone call skits at the beginning are kinda annoying, but the lyrics still tell you "I'm a playa."

 

[Lloyd]

top gun anthem

best song to put into a '' i own the world'' state.

 

[WhitePimp]

So What covered by Metallica. The absolute most "I don't give a fvck" song I've ever heard...puts me in a good mood, even with its atrocious lyrics...

[46and2aheadofme]

1.)Korn: Liar http://www.imeem.com/artists/korn/music/aG5onvGa/korn-liar/

The speaker of the song is talking to a friend with a one-itis, and is telling him to stop being a b1tch and to fvck her one last time and then leave her.

2.) Tool: Vicarious http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hii17sjSwfA

Talks about how the whole world is hostile, and to survive you must feed on others (a good metaphor for how DJs bank on the mistakes of AFCs)

3.) Reel Big Fish: Big Star http://www.imeem.com/people/qBe1HO_/music/wz2HHk2Q/reel-big-fish-big-star/

At first sounds AFC, but if you look further into it, the speaker is talking about how he's such an A-hole and thats why he knows he will end up with the girl.

4.) Avenged Sevenfold: Bat Country http://www.imeem.com/avengedsevenfold/music/vj5BDjp-/avenged-sevenfold-bat-country/

"He who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man" nuff said.

5.) Lamb of God: Omerta http://www.imeem.com/artists/lamb_of_god/music/XXQptDNO/lamb-of-god-omerta/

If the intro doesn't make you proud to be a man then I question your manhood. Also the song is based on the code in Italina Mafia called "Omerta" which means those who squeal are sentenced to death. Really badass.
