Default Music to get you FIRED UP!

So I am building a monstrosity of a shed, and I find myself doing it alone 99% of the time as my retired father seems to be too busy to help me out.

I've done a lot and I'm at the point where I am starting to build my trusses and such. I've been putting on my ipod and cranking it up to help motivate me but I am starting to run out of "aggressive" music to motivate me. Any suggestions? I don't want any speed metal or death metal or stuff like that. Right now I have things like Korn, Metallica, Disturbed, Papa Roach....stuff like that.

Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah, I'd reccomend Bounce, Radio/Video, Violent Pronography, Sugar, Suite-Pee, Innervision, and the first 45 seconds of Old School Hollywood is so good to pump you up.

For aggressive carpentry try anything by the Carpenters. Those two can shred like the dickens.

Alright, not sure if this is what you are looking for, but what about some Pearl Jam? Their new album is pretty good, and can be pretty "aggressive" at times. Or just about any of their old stuff...

I see where you're coming from, but I can't stand Pearl Jam. Thanks though.

Fair enough. Not sure I can be of much help to you, as all I know are the ones that everybody would know - AC/DC for example.

Good luck with the shed, though...

Live Metallica does it for me.... Creeping Death is probably the best song to get me going.
