Open question for discussion, gym edition
Worst workout music in the world: Sigur Ros.
Discuss.
EDIT: OK, since I’m being goaded to add more background, I was at my local 24 Hour Fitness this week beating the sense out of my leg muscles on the treadmill when Sigur Ros came up on my iPod. And after five minutes of ambient Icelandic pop with lyrics out of a Penecostal revival meeting, I came to the conclusion that Sigur Ros was the worst workout music in the world. I was moving too slowly, losing my motivation to run, and really just wanted to go curl up in a ball and sleep for a while.
So, that’s where that statement came from. I can’t think of many other bands that could elicit the sort of ennui that is death to the 40+ minute workout I need to knock out the fat.
disagree. not an entire album, but a track scattered here and there — “untitled 3″ from () or “Glosoli” from takk…, for instance — can make your workout feel sort of epic.
was this at a Seattle gym?
