Music for running

[Bateluer]

Since my current music has gotten stale. Can anybody suggest some good tunes for my MP3 player for running?

I'm fairly open to different genre's, however it needs to be a fast paced song with a good beat.

Only, no rap. I cannot stand rap.

 

[LordUnum]

Run Like Hell?

 

[KLin]

Campdown Races

may not be your cup of tea but try some trance

DJ Tiesto- Traffic
Motorcycle- As The Rush Comes
DJ Tiesto- Love Comes Again
Cosmic Gate- Tomorrow
Blank & Jones- Zero Gravity

<----might get flamed by the tranceheads for some of the choices

I really like to listen to dance music when I run, like Darude etc.

Electronic is good also, shoot me an AIM : Qosis55, if you'd like some good titles.

that song that goes... "im a maniac! ...a maniac!"

i know you said no rap and you cant stand it... but that really limits a few peoples responses, including myself... but if you can ever look beyond that... i suggest: the roots - seed 2.0. and they are not your traditonal rap... they play all their own instruments (guitars, bass, keyboards) and they dont talk about ridiculous crap in their songs (ie: ice, ho's, spinnin' 24s, err force ones). so, if you ever open up your mind to the genre, this would be a good place to start. just thought id throw that out there.

Good thing you refered to Darude as "dance music" and not trance...

listen to some songs from the Rocky IV soundtrack, especially hearts on fire, training montage, and of course, EYE OF THE TIGER! I don't know why but whenever they come up I start running faster!

I listen to Psychadelic Trance (look for Infected Mushroom or Astral Projection for starters).

There's also nice, hardcore rock like Ill Nino or Killswitch Engage.

I prefer metal and hard rock -- Metallica, P.O.D., Godsmack, Nickelback, Rush, Bad Company, and various other bands. Also, a lot of Joe Satriani songs are really hard driving as well with no words to mess up your rhythm (I hate spelling that word...). I have a few patriotic songs mixed in there since that gets my blood flowing, too.

 

[Schadenfroh]

"dogs" - pink floyd

 

[JasonK]

Barney and Friends

Nothing has gotten me more pumped up than the soundtrack to Mortal Kombat.

or the one: "I need a hero! Ooh Ooh!"

Actually, something like

Offspring - The Kids Aren't Alright
Andrew WK - She is Beautiful

stuff like that.

 

Cake - The Distance...the all time greatest running song ever recorded. I used to listen to it during every warmup for a cross country race back in high school.

 

[PunDogg]

eye of the tiger,

i listen to metillaica or godsmack, but also some u2 to calm me down hehe

Dogg

 

[caz67]

I listen to rock..

 

[SaltBoy]

Sure, it's 80's cheese, but nothing pumps me up more than "Jump" by Van Halen.

 

Bad Religion.
