Can't beat any of the "Rocky" Soundtracks. I also like to listen to Baroque music as well. Bach and Vivaldi are good. I skip Rap and anything with profanity in it.

Don't forget about "situational awareness", while running and listening. Shame to run for health and get hit by a car. That happened to me during a break when I walked to the grocery store to get lunch and got hit by a lady pulling out of the parking lot.

I searched for this topic, there's several threads on it. I wanted to revive one.

Some good ones I know or have heard of, for running or practice, general "*** kicking" music:

Eye of the Tiger
Everyone Was Kung Fu Fighting
These Boots Were Made For Walking
Another One Bites the Dust
Fighter (Christina Aguilera)

Any others? I'm making a massive playlist right now but this window is in my way so I will add some more in the near-ish future...

Lately I've been running to a flogging molly mix. Irish folk/punk music is great for fighting and driving. Rage against the machine gets me good and parshed. Pantera, slip knot, NIN--always NIN--ministry, my life with the thrill kill kult, pwerman 5000, prodigy, orgy. . .man, I could just keep going forever.

My iPod is never without APC and Tool. It's a little too down tempo for me to work out to, though. I'll add System of a Down.

 

[Shirt Ripper]

I'll add System of a Down.

Word. Rage Against the Machine too.

Right Now by Van Hagar...but the band sucked...with every lead singer!

 

[Martial Tucker]

I like classic rock when I'm running the streets:

All Along The Watchtower-Hendrix
Layla- Clapton
Stairway to Heaven- Led Zeppelin
Gimme Shelter- Stones
Free Bird- Lynard Skynard
Dream On - Aerosmith
Blue Sky- Allman Bros.

If I'm in the nearby forest preserve, I seem to prefer either no music,
or classical....Mozart/Vivaldi type stuff

Europe.

80's Hair Metal band.

 

[Flatlander]

"We're leavin' together, but still it's farewell,
and maybe we'll come back, to Earth who can tell."

Europe sucked, but they had 2 hits - The Final Countdown, and Carrie.

I can't believe you knew that, John. You're nearly as lame as me. Nearly.

Job Experience. I worked for a "Music Industry Influenced Fashion and Accessories" chain in Management for YEARS.

Plus they had a song on that same album called "Ninja" so I stole the tape from my friend in highschool.

[bushidomartialarts]

usually techno or industrial for running. i like inspiring lyrics or heavy metal for bagwork, but a good solid rythm is where it's at for the cardio.

alterately, try downloading an audiobook. fictior or self help, philosophy....

My boyfriend runs with an MP3 player, but I don't know what he has on it. I wanna steal it for snowboarding, but I don't know what I WANT to put on it (plus I fall a lot still. I may break the dang thing LOL).
