Ryan likes heavy metal and AC/DC. Ali has a thing for Ke$ha. Nicole would do anything to meet Katy Perry but playing her Pandora station 24/7 helps fill the void. Shane loves Dubstep. Trevor chooses Geronimo radio most mornings and Eric, well Eric is a little unpredictable. Kirk and Dave don’t get to chose the music very often…
With the many coaches at Roots and our wide variety in music tastes, the Pandora stations are pretty eclectic.
But, what if you could request a Pandora station…what would it be? Post to comments, and maybe, just maybe your request will become a reality.
Admittedly, I like Ryan’s music best but sometimes you need dance floor beats. Give me Pyscraft and deep, dark house beats, please!
Dubstep and Dance Party radio.
Yes!
Joe Ely and/or The Fabulous Thunderbirds radio! Push-leeeeze??
Forget Pandora, what you people need is a custom Spotify playlist made by me. GoogsMusic[TM], a spicy blend of hardcore punk, classic rock, metal, vintage hip hop, and Joe Walsh (what?!), peppered with Jerky Boys bits (perfect for those 1RM days) and even a couple of show tunes. There is no country in GoogsMusic — and that’s just the way it is so get the fu*k over it — but we do have room for some Skynyrd. You’re scared, but you know you want it.
Googs I want to hear that list, but you can keep the Jerky Boys and the skynyrd to yourself.
Dude, there is no a-la-carte with GoogsMusic. It’s like CrossFit in that way. The playlist is like one long chipper.
How do I subscribe to this magical GoogsMusic? “There is no country in GoogsMusic”. Does GoogsMusic endorse hair bands?
Oh absolutely, dude. Ratt is a requirementt in the GoogsMusic specificattion.
I’d throw down against a Googs playlist. Maybe this is the answer – submit, play, vote. Party playlists are a hobby of mine, too.
Alright Googs lets hear it, you got my vote.
Only concern is soft rock during the workout. Can’t be hearing finger elevin while trying to max out a push press. Save that soft stuff for mobility class. And seriously, Katy Perry radio is the shit!
I think that was a typo, didn’t you mean to say Katy Perry radio is shit?
Eric, there will be no Katy Perry bashing on this comment thread. I love her.
Less Katy Perry, more everything else. Sorry Nicole!
Valerie Day is the finest musician who has never been heard in Roots. There is no arguing – her band Nu Shooz makes more sense than any to be played all day every first day of new Foundations.

Ditmitri Vegas! (Fist pumping music all the way!)
My request is for a Joe Dirt soundtrack station. Thank you for your consideration.
Anything with a beat above 120BPM. But I second Mr. Holm in both the guilty pleasure of Katy Perry and a desire to hear what Googs has to offer in the form of playlists.
I will also say that we did a workout a few months back where the music was terribly slow and it made an AMRAP so much more difficult…so much…so so so much!
Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blink-182, Muse, Dr. Dre, Paramore, Foo Fighters, Taylor Swift
I will +1 the Taylor Swift request. And I’m okay saying that publicly.
Ok but are we creating a Taylor Swift station from her self titled album in 2006 or from the most recent 1989 album and Shake It Off. Big difference there as to what Pandora puts together.
Such a hard question, Nicole. Can we start with Taylor Swift’s newest and then add in some older stuff? Love that this is a comment thread, btw. 😉
This is a good list of some that I like too — I’d add Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and since Katy Perry and Tay-Tay are so popular, I’d probably add Kimbra too. Edited to add select Florence and the Machine has the right pace as well
I miss Walker’s station.
Generally Shane, Ali and Ryan’s stations agree with me.
You see that Ali! Ke$ha wins!
Ke$ha isn’t nearly as bad as some of the crap I get pumped up about. Wayne, Drake, Jay Z, Dre, Snoop etc.. I’ll take the tradeoff.
So little interest in WOD programming, yearly benchmarks, food, sleep, but when it comes to music, holy cow! Very strong emotions being tapped today.
I think management needs to refocus its priorities pronto – –
I’m voting for giving GoogsMusic{™} a one day 5:30 am to 7 pm trial run, with the stipulation that you tone down (just a bit) the explicit stuff during the kids class.
Yes, we allow Dave to chose the music when no other coaches are there. Otherwise you guys would be working out in silence, right Dave? 🙂
Grateful Dead. Do it Googs.
what happened to RumpShaker radio??
