Whether using your mp3 player or splicing a CD player into the commo of your vehicle, what bands/artists/songs/genres really get you amped up for combat?

In the 1st Gulf war i had a Doors greatest hits cassette (remember your walkman, folks?) and was partial to Garth Brooks's "Mr. Blue". I had an awesome Company Commander who turned me on to John Prine and I am eternally grateful. Mid 90s it was everything from Brooks and Dunn to Greenday, Shania Twain and back to Alice In Chains. After I was ancient and old enough to be my troops dad (OEF '09), they turned me onto The bloodhound gang and other demented young guy stuff. Makes me smile just thinking about it. Love this topic PFC Jason Rodrigues

On board our submarine, we had a system built in to the ship made by the Sundstrand company. We all had our own headphone jack, etc. The goal was that if you were plugged in to the ship system, if there was an alarm, it would interrupt your music. That way, you wouldn't miss an emergency by having your headphones plugged in. There were ten "channels" on the "box" and one would be all country, one all classical, etc. The tapes were sent by fleet command somewhere. On my first patrol, every single station had ZZ Top. So now everytime I hear or see them, I think of being at sea...

Any Metallica, black sabbath, or acdc. The louder the better.

War Pigs is a personal favorite.

Some asshole air force guys were playing that'll be the day when I die when we got off of the C-5 in Saudi Arabia for Desert Storm.

Best music for flying into battle I've seen and heard was "Ride of the Valkyries" by Wagner, used in the air assault attack in the movie Apocalypse Now.

Whenever I need to be psyched up, or exercising, driving long distances through boring or nonexistent scenery I have about 100 military cadences downloaded to my phone or MP3 player. Those cadences can get me through almost anything. HOOAH

Chariots of Fire! No doubt.

The movie came out around the time I went to 1st Class Dive School. I loved running to Panama City Beach and running in the sand with my class mates.

But we were not combatants. Refer to Roberts DeNiro's tirade in "Men Of Honor".

In vietnam in 1970 There were 2 songs that really stood out. They were " homeward bound "by Simon and Garfunkel and "We got to get out of this place" I think by the Animals or by War.

The first thing I thought of was in the movie"Kelly's Heros". The tank group mounted speakers, and played music during combat "It confuses the enemy." Just after shooting up a German railroad yard, they drove away playing "I've been working on the railroad..."
