What are a couple of your favorite tunes to run to? I ask because I need to go through my MP3 player to avoid hitting dog songs in the midst of a good workout.
Some of my favorites:
Girls, Girls, Girls - Motley Crue
Mr. Brightside - The Killers
Master of Puppets - Metallica
I would personally want to step around the turds you listed, but one man’s dogs are another man’s soul food. You’ll probably still get a lot of responses.
I’ll agree that some of the songs that I listen to aren’t the best ever written, but it is a tempo issue. I tend to run faster or slower depending of what’s playing in my brain at the time. Thusly, I need to eliminate Sweet Baby James and others similar from my playlist and I’m looking for suitable replacements.
But thank you for your contribution.
Absolutely! Variety is the spice of life. I like to think of it as cumin.
Freak on a Leash-Korn
Seven Nation Army-White Stripes
Baba O’Reilly-The Who
Love, Reign O’er Me-the Who
Sabotage-Beastie Boys

.
Eminence Front - The Who
Weapons of Mass Distortion - Crystal Method (Actually, anything by Crystal Method)
Extreme Ways - Moby
Get Down Tonight - KC & the Sunshine Band
Cant Get You Out of My Head - Kylie Minogue
Clocks - Coldplay
Beautiful Day - U2
Such Great Heights - The Postal Service
Kundalini Express - Love & Rockets
Ice Ice Baby - Vanilla Ice (come on, admit it, you love it too)
To name a few. I’ve got like 10 training playlists, both by genre and by pace. For interval days, I have a combo of fast and slow beats and I put it on random shuffle. Fast song - go hard, slow song - go easy. It gets really fun when you string 3-4 fast songs in a row…
Definitely the soundtrack for “Run Lola Run”. Most songs are even around 85 to 90 rpms to reach that elusive running cadence goal…
For me, Celtic and Irish rock is the way to go. I recommend Flogging Molly…fast tempo that really keeps you going!
