Devin Townsend Project - Lucky Animals is absolutely fantastic for making sure I get the hell out of bed.

Yeah I don't like to use songs as an alarm, because I'd just end up hating them. Same for ringtones to be honest, I'm not sure why cos I actually don't hate it when people call me  :lol But it happens all the same and that's why I just use the regular ringtones my phone has.

But I really think Frantic would work in the mornings  :rollin

I used to have Ghost of Perdition. Scared the cat so much he refused to sleep in my bed after that. :lol

I used to do this with no particular song structure but after a time a realized I started hating the songs I used because well, they were waking me up and I hate being waken up. I tried using songs I didn't like that much but I woke up in a bad mood.

The Spirit Of Radio does the trick for me when I need music.

I worried about the same thing, so I chose Metallica - Frantic as my alarm clock. I couldn't possibly think any less of the song, and it sure as hell gets you up in a hurry. :lol

FRANTIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TOCK
FRANTIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TOCK
FRANTIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TOCK
FRANTIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TOCK

I was actually just thinking randomly yesterday about how Frantic is the one song from St. Anger that I thought I liked. That prompted me to listen to it and realize that even it actually isn't that good.

On topic: I used 6:00 for a while because I had to get up at 6:00 and I thought that was funny or something. Now I think most of my alarms are still set for it, but I get up before my alarm now because my roommate always has earlier classes than I do. If I was using alarms again in the future I'd probably still use 6:00, but I don't know for sure. I might switch it up to something more positive or something.

I listened to Opeth at max volume one night, and when the CD finished I forgot to turn the volume down before I went to bed. I used my CD player as alarm clock at the time, it just started to play the first track of whatever disc that was in there. Now, I slept through the nice little intro of Ghost of Perdition, but when Mikael Åkerfeldt started screaming GHOST OF!!! MOTHER!!!! at 6 a.m. I woke up rather fast...

Not recommended. :lol:

Often times, on days where I need to get up at a certain time, I use Alter Bridge's Rise Today.  Good chorus to wake up to.

Sounds just as much like a grating alarm beep. There's the perfect incentive to get out of bed.
