The songs that Donald Trump rallies blast to pump up supporters

But one thing about his events always follows a similar pattern: the warm-up music.
Trump - who has shunned traditional small, town-hall-style events in favor of mega-rallies at stadiums and event spaces built for thousands - always sticks to a set list of musical warm-up selections.
The events themselves can occasionally feel like rock concerts. Hecklers and brawls have broken out at multiple rallies, while audiences at some events watched Trump speak while enjoying beer.
Like many Republican front-runners before him, Trump's musical choices don't always go over well with the artists themselves. Neil Young, R.E.M, and Aerosmith have all criticized Trump for using their songs at rallies without seeking permission.
But though Trump's music choices can occasionally inspire members of the audience to sing along, audiences at other candidates' campaign events don't always have the same desire for loud pump-up music.
At a recent rally for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R), several audience members asked a Business Insider reporter to tell Bush's campaign staff to turn the music down, a request that event organizers said that they got occasionally.
Here's a look at the songs that Donald Trump plays to pump up audiences at his rallies.
