Godsmack - When Legends Rise
"When a song opens with: 'Legs are tied, these hands are broken' it must be included in a rowing playlist. Furthermore good energy in the song and nice lyrics.”
-submitted by Gerald

Gold Fields - Glow
"Perfect song to get a good start to 2K. Right from the beginning screams let’s go and hold this pace.”
-Stephen

grandson - Blood // Water
"I'm sure you'll receive quite a few submissions with this song (Editor's Note - we did). Flat out it bangs. Perfect for steady state on the ergo. Modern beat/heavy on the base and then it really turns it up toward the end. Once the song is over you'll wish it was on your playlist a second time. You'll feel like a new person.”
-Tom

Mike WiLL Made-It - Runnin
-pencoyd.jr

Noisestorm - Crab Rave
"This song is a banger for the ages with a rhythm to get you through steady state and race pace alike. Without Crab Rave my ergs would be trash and my life would be without meaning.”
-Webster

The Score - Legend
-cheyenelesie

LSD - Thunderclouds
-themainehildebrand

Travis Scott - SICKO MODE
"Any drake/Travis Scott duo gets me hype.”
-Ben

Vince Staples - Opps
"Best erg song in Black Panther. Wakanda Forever!”
-Gabriel

Zayde Wolf - Gladiator
"Heavy beat that makes you want to go to war with the erg.”
-Colton
