"Don't Stop Believin'" - Glee ca....?#$#!!%%...Journey

"Machinehead" - Bush

"Stranglehold" - Ted Nugent

"Glory Days" - Bruce Springsteen

Stobe by Deadmau5
Human After All by Daft Punk
One Minute to Midnight by Justice
Mammagamma by Alan Parsons Project
Thunderstruck by AC/DC
Adagio for Strings by Tiesto
Building the Perfect Beast by Don Henley
Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson
Electric Feel (Justice Remix) by MGMT
Play the Game Tonight by Kansas
Where's My Thing? by Rush
Voyager by Daft Punk
YYZ by Rush

Those would be a few of my suggestions. Not necessarily robot related, but still great video background music

Re: Favorite music for robot videos
 

My #1 pick: Thunderstruck (AC/DC): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JI3NkSWoVEI sorry to use my own video, but i do, in general, really love when robots + ACDC mix ;)
Some others:
Palladio - Escala
Inception Soundtrack
Inspector Gadget (Dubstep) - Chrispy <-- this one could be interesting.. haha
Kill Everybody - Skrillex <-- weird lyrics... but the rest of it is great!
Technologic - Daft Punk
The Son of Flynn - Daft Punk (from Tron)
Battle - Harry Gregson-Williams (from Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe)
Requiem for a Dream is an AMAZING piece and always a great choice
And finally, this commercial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjJdSinx-S8) played at my freshman year drumline world championships. Sadly, I do not know the name of the music that's playing, but I still listen to just this clip often, because I love the music so much. If you find out the name of it, it'd be great as background music as well.
Hope this helps!

Orange Goblin - "Scorpionica"
Priestess - "Lady Killer"
Metallica - "For Whom the Bells Tolls"
Torch - "Fire Raiser"
The Stooges - "Search and Destroy"
Christian Mistress - "Black Vigil"
Helmet - "Unsung" (for fans of the Robowranglers' video that used Refused, this is probably your best bet)

Re: Favorite music for robot videos
 

My favorite from this season was 2791's robot reveal video. Chris picked out The Distance by CAKE.

Re: Favorite music for robot videos
 

I love that song. Love you Madly is also a great song by Cake.

If you're going for something more techno or electronic, check out teams that had songs in their video like 2016

Re: Favorite music for robot videos
 

Anything dubstep

Re: Favorite music for robot videos
 

Don't know if it was mentioned already, but last years Robowranglers video (here) used a legendary song, New Noise by Refused. Truly a song that gets you pumped on life.


Or you could just use the whole soundtrack to Rocky IV

Re: Favorite music for robot videos
 

Unkle, or movie themes catch people off guard

Re: Favorite music for robot videos
 

Reported.

Re: Favorite music for robot videos
 

I'm pretty sure I just watched a South Park episode about that song. Refused needs to give those britches a rest.

Re: Favorite music for robot videos
 

I know personally I use whatever song is an up beat song and that can get kid "hype." I know for sure I'm going to use a Kanye West song!
