Songs you listen to while running

Recon

This thread is just to name a few songs (and the band) you listen too while running. Not to discuss whether it's better to listen to music or not, or if you think a certain band or song is ****!

Demons & Wizards - Fiddler on the Green (very good for the start of a run)
AC/DC - Thunderstruck
Megadeth - Peace Sells
Judas Priest - Ram It Down
Manowar - The Power
Metallica - Enter Sandman

I'm not a big dance music fan as such, but the following really work for me when running:

Ferry Corsten - Fire
Prodigy - Girls
Basement Jaxx - Rendez-Vu
Camille Jones Vs. Fedde Le Grand - The Creeps

plus countless others

NYC Diva

Groove Armada - Shaking that Ass
U2 - Elevation
Chemical Brothers - Galvanise
Faithless - We come one (great for easing back and then sprinting)
Faithless - God is a DJ


I'll revisit my mp3 player. I love running to dance music with lyrics. It really keeps you going.

The Prodigy - Voodoo People
AC/DC - Got You By The Balls
Dragonforce - Through the Fire and Flames
Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out
Halford - Betrayal

fixxxer - metallica

vertigo - U2
hells bells - ac/dc


couple more, but you get the gist. steady beats. I like the x-trainer best at the gym, so you get a good mix of constant beats. Killed by death is great for putting the machine up a few gears and doing 6 minutes of really hard slog, followed by something like hysteria to lower the gears and get some good speed in. Bit like doing interval training. and its saves my dodgy knees

Feelgood

Tool - Jambi, Right In Two and Vicarious...

3 great songs to get the adrenaline pumping...

Gillie

Music from Requiem for a Dream.

Anything from the prodigy or chemical bros.

LCD Soundsystem - Get Innocuous

'Get Innocuous' is a really great tune for running. I try to run this at 12kph (it's about 7 1/2 minutes long) and then ramp up for a sprint. For the sprint I use 'Blue Orchid' - the White Stripes are great gym music.

I'd also recommend the Jam, early (read angry) Elvis Costello, Gang of Four and the Clash.

Pen1987

I listen to some weird tunes, you may recognise a few though, pretty much all either trancey-beat-hip hop and smashing guitars with aggresive rappers.

Aesop Rock - None shall stop
Atmosphere - Dont Stop
Atmosphere - Trying to find a balance
POS - POS is ruining my life
Sims - Market made murder
Rira - Going 'til 25 o'clock in the morning
Doomtree - No homeowners
Cage - Soundtrack (to kill a stepfather)
Hanger 18 - Think big
Outkast - Xplosion
El-p - Deep Space 9 millimeter
The Cribs - Mans needs

Thats pretty much the whole playlist for most days workout.

Musically taste is based on opinion and preference.

Keep posting songs and keep the musical merit debate out of it please follks.

walt0r

Oh, dear. Did I offend anybody by saying they've bad taste in music? I didn't even point the finger or insult anybody. Deary me.

Iazlo, Holden is class. A guy on his label by the name of Nathan fake has a few class tunes. Get "the sky is blue" and "Outhouse" by nathan fake, there are a lot of mixes flying about. Great for training to.

Dragan

Waltor,

i have repeatedly had to deal with you in the past and have asked you several times not to reply to things posted by Mods in the thread....if you have an issue then take it to a PM or feedback instead of acting like a scolded child.

Cheers mate.

walt0r

Okay,
Cheers mate

Johnny Storm

Two great transcendental-type songs for when you finally "get into the groove":-

"The Last Days of May" - Blue Oyster Cult
"Marquee Moon" - Television.

Other than that its Ramones, AC/DC, Motorhead all the way

WHIP IT!

Bit harsh Drag - some of the music listed is brutal! We're not all that sensitive I'm sure...

For the record, if I did listen to music while I run, here's my (possibly brutal!) list:
AC/DC - Anything of theirs really
Underworld - Born Slippy
GnR - Welcome to the Jungle
Biohazard/Onyx - Judgement Night (from the movie of same name)
Rocky Theme
Karate Kid - You're the Best theme

Yes!! Rollin' and Scratchin' from Homework is a fab one for the end of a really tough session when you need something to push you for the last few agonising minutes.
