Running music

[Vallerina 2]

Yes, I did a search, but the music that was suggested before wasn't really "it." So, what music do you like to workout to? Please be specific (song and artist!) I like running to silly songs:

Daisy Dukes - 69 Boys
Bombs Over Baghdad - Outkast
Boom! I Got Your Boyfriend - 20 Fingers
No Limit - 2 Unlimited
I'm Horny - I don't know who
Black Betty (Techno Remix) - Ram Jam

I'm getting bored of my music. Please help!

There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

I listen to Gun's and Roses AFD....over and over again - especially on long runs. Poison, Metallica, Motely Crue, anything with a hard driving beat to it.


I listen to country a lot but I just cannot work out to it. It ain't happen' bubba.

listening to music on the run never did me any good.

But, I used to pop in a cassette of Survivor and listen to "Eye of the tiger" at full blast on the way to races just to get psyched up for many of the 5Ks, 10Ks and the 2 marathons I ran in during the 80's and early 90's.

I don't have a lits of songs I run to. Just anything with a good and fast bass on it. I really don't listen to the song I just use the beat to pace myself.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Right now my favorite CD to work out with is a live Violent Femmes disc. Its really long (an hour or more) and the songs just get me moving!

Try some Save Ferris if you like upbeat punk rock. They do an awesome remake of 'Come on Eileen' I use to have a CD strictly for working out and it consisted of Blink 182, Save Ferris, AFI, Cruiserweight http://www.cruiserweight.com , etc , etc , etc. Really gets your pulse pumping.

OH! I never thought of AFI...I love them. Hmm, now I'm thinking of a bunch of stuff by The Used that could be good too.

Holy Moly! A Violent Femmes fan! Sweet! Not many of us left out there. Awesome band!

I don't listen to anything when I am running outside, but when I run on the treadmill at home, I usually pop in a skydiving video on the tv in front of me. Passes the time very well!

Really? Maybe it's a Midwest thing, but everyone I know or meet loves the Violent Femmes! And...they are great to run to! I forgot about that! I should bust out some of my old cds.

To this day I've been unable to find a copy, but here goes...

Did anyone here watch the Stephen King miniseries, Kingdom Hospital?
In the series, Peter Rickman (portrayed by Jack Coleman) was out running. His walkman/ipod/whatever was playing a certain song, before and after he was hit. This song is repeated many times during the series, and I LOVE it! It seems to be my perfect running song, despite where I first heard it. If anyone happens to find it, let me know...

For running I have some USMC running jodies that I put in my MP3 player. It's perfect.

For lifting I put some heavy metal (i.e. Sepultura).

I'm not a big help, but i did notice Kingdom Hospital is on DVD at blockbuster. Maybe the song is in the credits.

Noice! Thanks Sunny! I didn't realize it had gone to DVD. I'll look locally for it, if for no other reason than to scan the credits.

(Who am I kidding? I'll copy it first, then return it)

Placebo, Pixies and Pearl Jam. Dunno why but the P bands are good for running. Especially Pearl Jam's Live on Two Legs.

[Morcyk 0]

Haven't run in a long long time, but if I did it would probably be the same list from the "skydiving songs" thread.

[Sheenster303 0]

When I was younger, I used to go running with my sister all the time and we listened to the Top Gun soundtrack. For some reason, it always made us keep going.

I'm so funny I crack my head open!

Running is fun... I don't usually listen to music.

I do listen to music or watch a movie when I'm on my rowing machine (due to the lack of natural scenery.)

Limp Bizkit - several songs
Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill

in general anything with a good beat worked pretty well.

I'm cool, I like to listen to Dylan, Van Morrison, U2, Jimmy Eat World, P.O.D, anything to keep me distracted from my heavy breathing!

I never got the "midwest" thing. Y'all are more North-central.
