..because CRASH-Bs is just 75 days away!

Here's row2k's list of the 15 erg songs for your winter 2015-2016 erg playlist.

A couple notes on how songs were selected as this is once again, a highly subjective list:

  • All songs submitted by row2k readers
  • Each song is from the last year and a half, or so. Songs from pre-2014 were excluded
  • Only one song per artist as there are many artists with multiple songs
  • We tried to bring a variety of genres of music for a variety of types of erg pieces
  • Some contain some explicit lyrics
  • Once again, no Miley Cyrus
  • Songs listed alphabetically by artist

  • Spotify playlist here plus check out the embedded player at right.

    Andy Grammer - Honey, I'm Good
    "I like this one in the beginning of a sprint for me because it keeps a quick tempo for the most part and then half-way through a long piece because it reenergizes me for the tough half-way point."
    -Elisa

    Demi Lovato - Confident
    "It's a good upbeat song to keep you going through those long erg pieces."
    -Deena

    Dillon Francis - Get Low
    "On a low rate AT piece, when the entire erg room is going at the same rate, and this song drops the beat, the splits drop too."
    -Georgie

    Dorothy - Wicked Ones
    "This song makes me feel so strong with every stroke and is so badass!"
    -Anissa

    Elle King - Ex's & Oh's
    "Not sure what it is about this song, but I just love when it comes on in the erg room."
    -Kevin

    Fall Out Boy - Centuries
    "This track makes me think of leaving a legacy on machine and I just hammer down."
    -Rich

    Flo Rida - GDFR
    "That tempo seems perfect for us 'freaks' pulling on the erg"
    -Charles

    Galantis - Peanut Butter Jelly
    "The beat is really awesome and the words a fun."
    -Grace

    Imagine Dragons - I Bet My Life
    "The chorus just crushes it. Listen to it LOUD."
    -Kelly

    Pegboard Nerds - Emergency
    "Th song is always in playlists. Sooooo good, makes you so pumped up"
    -Gus

    Rachel Platten - Fight Song
    "The lyrics and beat are inspirational and perfect for rowing."
    -Amanda

    Sage The Gemini - Gas Pedal
    "Awesome for the start of a test piece but steady enough beat to work for a longer piece too. One can't help but drive those legs down a little harder into the footboards as the lyrics 'gas pedal' echo."
