Basketball Tracks

Just a brief survey of what songs get you pumped for a game of basketball? Any songs in particular? Any artists? And to the ABL guys, when you've been playing what songs have you heard while playing that have somehow 'pumped you up' while playing :P

I know this has been done before but new music comes out quite often. Do you like to go with the new artists or do you like to stay with the older artists.

Cheers.

Pre-Game warm up music (#2211)

was a thread started in march, and the most resounding response was for older music. It seems people on this forum arn't too accepting of newer music, thus i think you'll find this thread is just going over a (not so old) topic.

What the hell are you waiting for! Numb/Encore - Linkin Park/Jay Z

Thats the only Linkin Park track worth listening too though (At a BBall Game).

At the last Sturt game, one good thing they started to do, especially during scrappy stages of the game was to play an upbeat tune during play! Was a good touch, but still too much grunge type music, keep all the music uptempo, new or old!

For the start of a game, Queen's We Will Rock You cant lose!

How about some Rage Against The Machine? or At The Drive-In? or AFI? or even The Mars Volta? these bands all rock! You need rock music that has some emotion to it to fire you up. Well thats what I think anyway. Hip hop/rap and that just doesn't do it for me.

super.

well i would have to go with negyven_negy on this 1. Because majority of juniors think they are black these days because of NBA ballers wearing all that gear and listening to hip n hop n shit, we have to dig it too. Which is gay because that music is as boring as watching me play.

I reckon the music that actually inspires us and gets us pumped more is the more rock and all that stuff even metal, rammstein! They put way more emotion and shit in their songs which reflects on us. The more heavier music. I mean if you were listening to perfect by simple plan before your game youd expect to go out there pinching and tapping ass, but if you were listening to heavier metal like rammstein...dam! youd be pumped. But then again no one likes the same music.

Just my thoughts anyway ;)

statue, pity it took you to the last sentance of your post to start thinking about what you were writing because the beginning detracted from a very good point "But then again no one likes the same music" possibly not how i'd word it, however the same point... listen to different tunes and find what you like, don't try and copy someone elses style.
