Despite their inane, cloying politics, Rage is perfect for both lifting and a treadmill.
My fave would be the Rollins Band "End of Silence" or pre- and post albums, but he's also a pain in the ass. Pushed me off stage at the Limelight once.

Slayer’s biggest problem is the laughable satanic lyrics in its early stuff. I think it was Lemmy who said the devil doesn’t exist, so singing about him makes one sound like a fool.
But RIB was such a relentless and flawless record musically, it escapes that criticism. “Angel of Death” might be right behind “Overkill” as the perfect thrash metal anthem. If you’re struggling on a last set at the gym, either will get you thru it. May even help you put another 10 on the bar.
I don’t know post Black Flag Rollins too well. Damaged of course remains a favorite. And Slip It In.
