Recent running mix..

Anything by The Killers.. 8 min. Mr. Brightside (from Sawdust) and When You Were Young
Rooftops – Lost Prophets
Lemon- U2
Chocolate – Snow Patrol
Praise Chorus – Jimmy Eat World

My faves change regularly, but right now I’m really
Milli (Lil Wayne),
Day N Night (Kid Cudi)
Break the Ice (Britney Spears)
Actually any song from the Blackout album by Britney.

REASON TO BELIEVE
BY DASHBOARD CONFESSIONALS..
the best running song.

Great topic! Different tunes for different runs. How about this for a little of everything: The Wheel by Grateful Dead, Railroad by Kasey Chambers, Adir Adirim by Balkan Beat Box, Where the Streets Have No Name by U2, Straight to Hell by The Clash, Rock and Roll by Led Zeppelin, Come On Let’s Go by Los Lobos, Music Must Change by The Who, Rip This Joint by The Rolling Stones, Dirty Water by The Inmates, Hoye Hoye by Bole 2 Harlem, Dog Eat Dog by Adam Ant, Are You Gonna be My Girl by Jet, A-Punk, Brimful of Asha by Cornershop, Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf, Boom Boom by Chayanne, Rock Me Amadeus by Falco, Bubbly by Colbie Caillat. And to start it all off, can’t forget Papa Was a Rolling Stone by The Temptations.

Kings of Leon and Arcade Fire are great to run to. Esp Slow night so long by KOL and Antichrist television blues by AF.

‘Clumsy’ by Fergie running to that song puts the most tired runner in a fun mood!

–Chariots of Fire, by Vangelis
–Eye of the Tiger, by Survivor
–Flashdance, from the movie soundtrack CD

Christine, that’s a great question! I just started working out, and I’ve found that loud, fast music makes me forget how slowly time is going when I’m running!

Some of my favorites are “After the Flesh” from the Crow soundtrack and just about anything from Nine Inch Nails.

Without a doubt, the best running song is “Runnin Down A Dream” by Tom Petty!

I also like to listen to a mix while running but on a treadmill, not outdoors. Outside I like the peace and quiet, time t think and reflect. Also, I like to be aware of any approaching cars (or dogs). That said, songs on my list include:
Lose Yourself by Eminem (Great song to pump yourself up with before or at the beginning of a run)
Superman Movie Theme by John Willaims (This is a great orchestral song that also can pump you up. You feel like flying)
The William Tell Overture (Lone Ranger theme) It’s a given.

BTO – Takin’ care of business – played at mile 16 during the Flying Pig Marathon.

Anything that gets me pumped. You know, Trick Daddy with Lets Go, New Noise by refused, anything you can bang your head to, but no screamo. Also so rap.

“Marathon” by Rush from their Power WindowsCD. Fantastic mood and groove with an inspiring finish.

welcome home by coheed & cambria. its intense.

i love the stuff from podrunner (free on itunes under podcasts) – you can choose your pace and get about an hour of music at exactly that pace – i use 155 beats per minute for my long runs now.. (you can use the freeware “audacity” to splice them and play them back to back if you need more than 1 hr)

“Run Run Run” by The Velvet Underground. I also like to think the heroin influence on the band helps my brain release endorphins.

Kudos to Zachman for Coheed and Cambria. Great song. Here’s some more goot agressive tunes, if that’s up your alley. Matter of time by Hellyeah; Praise by Sevendust; Davidian by Machinehead; Indestructible by Disturbed; Pistol Grip Pump by Rage against the Machine; Ladies and Gentlemen by Saliva; Push it by Static X; Rise up by Disciple; Beneath the Machine by Sanctity; Beg For Me by Korn. These easily get me through an 8K. GOod luck

Runner – by Manfredd Mann’s Earth Band (an 80’s song that I rediscovered on YouTube)

Rearview Mirror by Pearl Jam

Awesome running song

I can’t help picking up the pace when I play “Oliver’s Army” by Elvis Costello (hate the lyrics but it’s the beat that counts)

I love the comments guys – I have many of the albums you mentioned, I am going to look for the songs…
Two of my favorite songs that get me going are “Through the Never” by Metallica – great on hills…Also, “Evil and a Heathen” by Franz Ferdinand. And ever since High School, The Scorpions “The Zoo” has given me a good beat.

My running music consists of:
most stuff by britney spears
Chariots of fire by vangelis
paralyzer by finger eleven
stronger by kayne west
bodies by drowning pool
clocks by coldplay
wineup by kat deluna
loser by beck
pepper by buthole surfers
bittersweet symphony by the verve
werewolve of london by warren zevon
push it by saltNpepa
under preasure by queen & david bowie
don’t give up by peter gabriel
games without frontiers by peter gabriel
you get what you give by new radicals
teenagers by my chemical romance
maniac by micheal sembello
4 minutes by madonna
paper planes by MIA
what i’ve done by linkin park
numb by linkin park
coming undone by korn
danger zone by kenny loggins
milkshake by kellis
music by joan jett
lose yourself by eminem
see you again by miley cyrus
iron man by ozzy ozborne
du haste by ramstein
shout by tear for fears
sweet dreams by Eurythmics
you aint seen nothing yet by bachman-turner
cyclone by baby bash
into the nightlife by cyndi lauper

I have more but those are just some off the top of my head.

i usually run the local reservoir and it is just about 4 miles long, usually on the last side of the reservoir i listen to 2 songs by As I Lay Dying. The Sound of Truth and Meaning in Tragedy. They have a great beat to run to and it really keeps me going, and i can usually sprint at the end when Confined comes on. i never thought i could run listening to metal. but its great!

I listern to a little of everything. I like a nice mix up but do have a dance mix that kinda fun to listern to. metallica, footloose , and even some softer stuff.

I love this topic! I agree, running soundtracks should only be on tredmills. But I use a play list to determin the lenghth of time I am running. So I run and when a certain song comes on I cool down.
A bed time story- slick rick
Blow the Whistle- Too Short
Hand on the Pump- Cypress Hill
No Sleep till Brooklyn- Beastie Boys
The Message- Grand Master Flash
And cool down
Drunk and Hot Girls- Kanye

Daniel Powter – Next Plane Home

Personally, I love to run to either of:

Wild Horses by Sylver
He’s a Pirate (Orchestral Mix) by Klaus Badelt (remixed by aDJ Tiesto)

I will run a 10K charity race for RNLI on Sunday 14/9 2pm and my all-time favourite running songs on my iPod are Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen, Axel F by Harold Faltermeyer and Crockett’s Theme by Jan Hammer from 80’s Movie Hits, The Launch by DJ Jean, and the best one: Sandstorm by Darude – you’ll get that extra strength and fly the last mile.

not what you think of when running but I love the song “Billy Bonnie” by western singer Chris LeDoux. I always kick up the pace when it comes on!

I have used the tape “flashdance” for many years as i run and sing on my treadmill. I am 64 years old and still love that tape.

Freedom of the Road,the live version by Martin Sexton is a great outdoor running song,Popcorn remix by Crazy Frog is a great treadmill song because it is just about a quick mile long. All the Roadrunning by Emmylou Harris and Mark Knofler is a great full album for an out door run, and Genius: The Best of Warren Zevon has the best variety and beats for a full indoor run.

JUST THE WIND

Right Now – Van Halen

I know running to showtunes might sound weird, but these songs sound like regular rock songs. They’re called “Totally F****d” and “Bitch of Livin’” from the musical “Spring Awakening”. I also love Carrie Underwood’s “Last Name” & “Flat on the Floor”. “Two Princes” by Spin Doctors, “Roll To Me” by Del Amitri…soo many different genes, I love it all.

Bloc Party (first album) is pretty inspiring. Louis XIV is also great for running with a beat. And Madonna’s last two albums (Confessions and Hard Candy) are perfect. It’s all about fast-paced beats!

Almost any Prince album. Purple Rain, Dirty Mind, The Symbol Album, Space, Sign o the Times are some of my favorites.

it is very nice.

Wild Dances by Ruslana. Its full of energy, you can’t sit and llisten to it!
(Yes, I know its not on iTunes, because its a Ukrainian song! I just happen to have the cd)

One By One – Foo Fighters

Hot Ride – Prodigy

It’s amazing!

I think MC Hammer must be a runner – check out “Do Not Pass Me By” on the album ‘Too Legit to Quit’ – every song is an inspiration to move onwards, onwards!

HipHop/fast beat stuff’s really good for running. I absolutely love listening to these songs while running:
Breakdown – Plain White T’s
California – Phantom Planet (OC Theme song)
Girlfriend – Avril Lavigne
Bye Bye Bye – Nsync
Harder Better Faster Stronger – Daft Punk

Mostly Black Sabbath, especially “Into the Void”. Also the older Rush, such as Grace Under Pressure and earlier.

Sodajerk by Buffalo Tom

anything which makes me pleasant

“Points of Authority” by Linkin Park is a good motivator, as is “Faint.” I prefer aggressive alternative rock for the lyrics, the tempo and the enjoyability of it all to keep me going.

I love to listen to any songs by Shane and Shane while running/exercising. It is so uplifting and encouraging. It keeps me going and going. It is such a great time for praise and worship while you are getting a little bit of exercise! Thanking God that you are able to exercise.

Waterloo by ABBA! All that happy energy gets my legs moving!

Stronger by Kanye West. Or Gold Digger by Kanye West. Pretty much anything by Kanye West gets me moving…

Out in the street, Bruce Springsteen.
End of the road, Eddy Vedder

I ran through the list and saw welcome home by coheed and cambria and it definitely is at the top of my running playlist! i also listen to mudshuvel by staind, break stuff by limp bizkit, polyamorous by breaking benjamin, back in black by ac/dc, ballroom blitz by sweet… among other things. but those are the first few that came to mind.

What’s your name – Janet Jackson
Raw – T.I.
What them girls like – Ludacris ft. Chris Brown
Get me bodied – Beyonce
Headsprung – L.L. Cool J

Angels and Airwaves – Valkyrie Missile. The best 7 minute song to start your work out ever. i promise you that. such a great build up…gets you on a great warm-up/pace.

Bleed It Out by Linkin Park – I get the best sprint on a treadmill with this song. Just used it last night to finish out a great run!

Personally my “Power Song” that I used with my Nike+ running system is:

Lose Yourself by Eminem.

Bodies by Drowning Pool is another great one that I use to push myself. On a side note: It is also the most popular song for soldiers to get pumped up before going out on patrols in Iraq.

Also great songs are most fast paced songs by:
Godsmack
Disturbed
Chevelle
Metallica
Fort Minor
Linking Park
Seether
Soil
…etc

I prefer rock or hard rock when running. Something about that music that helps me push myself. It’s the same music that if I were listening to in my car I’d want to push on the gas pedal and go a little crazy…safer and healthier to do it while running!

Cup of Life by Ricky Martin

At the start of a long run – Run by Collective Soul. Puts you in the right frame of mind.

Beyonce “Crazy In Love”
Franz Ferdinand “Take Me Out”
Rolling Stones “Paint It Black”
Tom Cochrane “Life is a Highway”
Billy Joel “We Didn’t Start the Fire”
…just a few…have a 30 gig ipod…could take a while…

RUNAWAY by del shannon

I love Enya/Enigma/Jewel/Heart/Janis Joplin/Cher/Tina Turner/Salt-N-Pepa/Eurythmics/Charlotte Church/Janet Jackson/Celine Dion/Shania Twain

great thread.

The ecstasy of gold

It may sound odd, but I love running to the La Resistance (Medley) from the South Park Movie soundtrack. Something about the very poignant beat always makes me pick up the pace.

THUNDER ROAD – by Springsteen

Freestyle running? Assassin’s Creed Original Soundtrack.

Excellent thread. Eclectic for me, in both beat and content – current faves (got me thru last week’s half): American Boy – Estelle, Bohemian like you – Dandy Warhols, Tubthumping – Chumbawumba (gotta be full intro / extro), Tick Tick Boom – The Hives, Girls – Beastie Boys, Rehab – Amy Winehouse

Please suggest more!

Songs by Scooter and Basshunter are great for running!

Keep Pushin – REO

Your the best around – From the Karate Kid soundtrack

Pain by Jimmy Eat World

This is so interesting!
I always start (warm up jog) to Sgt. Barry Sadler’s Ballad of the Green Beret’s (I know its older than I am, but there something that is so tough about that song that gets you in the mood to go the distance!

Then I have such a long running playlist on my ipod but these are the ones that come to mind:

Time to move on – Tom Petty
Dreams – Van Halen
Fat Bottomed girls – Queen
All Summer long – kid rock
Running on empty – Jackson browne
Wikked lil grrrls – Esthero
u & ur hand – Pink
So what – pink
Rock n Roll girls – John Fogerty
Figured you out – Nickelback
Roam – the B52’s
8 Easy steps – Alanis Morissette
Baba O’Reilly – The Who
Come baby Come – K7
Gimme 3 steps – Lynyrd Skynyrd
hold on tight – ELO

oh I could go on and on … I’m a music-o-holic

My favorite songs no matter what I’m doing when I workout are: Black Eye Peas’ Pump It and PitBull’s Shake!

I know it’s corny, but I love running to the “Mission Impossible” theme song–kind of my personal philosophy when it comes to running!

Some U2 songs that always help keep me moving…
Beautiful Day
Vertigo
Elevation
In God’s Country

I enjoy listening to dance while running.

Here are few songs. U + Ur Hand-Pink, Toxic-Britney Spears, Hey Ya-Outcast, She Bangs-Ricky Martin.

Then I bust a move.

Love running to AC/DC, U2, Madonna. Listening to these help boost up your momentum.”Got a love it”

Personally, I go for a heavy rockbeat, but one of my best runs I made on the music from the late Mickey Newbury. I don’t know if it was his heavenly voice, his lyrics or just my state of mind: we went like hell‼ It was great.
I like to introduce an European rhythm to you all: Anouk! She is Dutch, she rocks & you can run on her like you’ve never done before.

danger zone by kenny logins lissten to the words and imagine at the end of a race when you feel like your dying and this song comes on the jet taking off and the song says switching to over drive and you never know what you can do ect.. listen to it think about the words and think at the end of the race.. very powerful

The entire NRBQ catalog; A History Of Garage & Frat Bands In Memphis Vol. 1 $ 2 (1960 – 1975);

Now when I listen to that CD it bring back sweet, sweet memories of that last trip I took with my Dad, as he passed away later that same year.
But the music actually transports me back to the running path along the canal and all the smells and sights.

yes i definitely agree with John! Snakes and Arrows is fantastic, as well as pretty much anything from R30 or Permanent Waves.
if you’re a teenage girl like me, The (early) Beatles and Locksley are great, too.

I actually said to a guy at the gym just last week (through my heavy breathing due to the fast past the song wants me to move to when finishing a long run) that the BEST song to run to is Poison’s “Talk Dirty to Me”.

I can be having the worst run of my life and not want to go another 3 feet, but if my ipod shuffles to that song I feel completely rejuved and ready to go at least another 3 minutes!

Coheed and cambria – 33
Breaking benjamin is prob my fav band to run to
ALL THAT REMAINS – THE AIR THAT I BREATHE
blindside – pitiful
young jeezy – by the way, transltor
mgmy – eletric feel
flyleaf – fully alive

I love this! And I have a whole sheet of paper filled with everyone’s suggestions to download! But one of my faves to run to is Paramore. Sean Paul songs are funky that put a little pep in my step! Viva la Vida by Coldplay and Superwoman by Alicia Keys are great for me, too!

My favorite running song is

All these things that I’ve done – The Killers

Nike used the song for a commercial during the Olympics. You can see it on youtube – “Nike Courage”

Yup, pretty far along the alternative scale, but they all get me hopping…

ok, nobody laugh, but the song that always gets me going when I’m hitting a rough patch towards the end of a long run… is… “Mmmm Bop” by Hanson. Its pure sugar

I’m a long-distance runner. I run about 6-8 miles a day on average. The pumped up songs are great initially, but have the opposite effect on me 3 miles into my run. Some great zone out music…

My personal “power song”
Everything’s Magic – Angels & Airwaves

My favorite album to zone out to in the middle of my run is I-Empire by Angels & Airwaves. Just tried some Mogwai today as suggested in a previous post. Loved it!

it’s called, RUNNING! by david archuleta! it’s so good! cause the coras is like:

dont
STOP RUNNING!
cause without you I’ve
GOT NOTHING!
I know your somewhere
RUNNING!
straight to me,
dont
STOP RUNNING!

keep on running! dont stop! keep running!

“Rain in the Summertime” by The Alarm, “Great Leap Forward” by Simple Minds, and “Humans Being” by Van Halen.

Check Yes Juliet
by We the Kings

[Chorus:]
Lace up your shoes
Here’s how we do
Run baby run

They’ll tear us apart if you

Run baby run, forever will be
