Greetings, all! During a recent conversation with my little sister Aastha, the topic of music came up. She asked me what would a slightly out of shape barbarian listen to while he was training?
Well, before music, he should probably listen to a nutritionist and put that second donut down. 😲
But on the topic of music, he would likely listen to a lot of 80s rock and metal. OK, not likely…He would. There may be a sprinkling of 90s and 00s in there, but 80s is where his heart resides.
As this list is likely to be extensive, I will refrain from embedding videos, lest the page would never load. Y’all gonna have to look ’em up yourselves. 😄
So, anyhow…Let’s get to it shall we?
Without further ado, here are a simple barbarian’s humble music recommendations. Happy listening!
(P.S. this list is likely to be a little VH heavy. I’ll try to keep it as even as possible, but no promises.)

“So This Is Love?” – Van Halen
“Ice Cream Man” – Van Halen
