Off the 1982 album, Number of the Beast, Bruce Dickinson wails as his final hours approach. Particularly these 100 of the best heavy metal songs of all time, presented with no order or ranking. But if you want to rage and pummel and conquer, then it is heavy metal and only heavy metal. Hip hop? Sure, if you want to bop your head along to a few bars between sets. And nothing captures the agony-the blood, the sweat, and the toil-of a grueling, punishing workout session like metal. Nothing digs its claws into the very squishy center of your reptilian brain and commandeers your FIGHT instincts like metal. A good beat can push you through a tough workout.

I could do without Korn’s debut, but I know it was important to a lot of people and it certainly left its mark on the metal landscape. Follow Men's Health on Spotify for the best workout playlists and more.īasic gym bros will tell you that trap or "old-school Eminem" is the best music to listen to you when you work out. Loudwire’s list is actually pretty solid it’s hard to argue that any of these albums shouldn’t be included on a best-of-the-’90s metal list, and I love the inclusion of Alice in Chains and Tool.
