Gyms play crappy music in the weight room because...well let's face it, these people just don't know what good music is. Their minds are on how many calories they intake that day, or whatever. But for those of us who crave good music, I can say with certainty that the genre of choice is hard rock/classic rock music. This is the ONLY music played in school gyms (not for-profit clubs) or any other place where the guys who work out also control the music. Specifically, one band stands out above all: Led Zeppelin. I've been thinking about why this is the case that Zeppelin would be so widely played in weight rooms. Then I read Chuck Klosterman's writings. Case closed. Play Zeppelin! (and the Rolling Stones, the Who, Jeff Beck, Allman Bros, etc)
