Give me your favorite songs for running


Recommended Posts

I've never had much music on my phone but since I've been running for the last month, I've been listening to more. Well I'm getting really bored with the same 10-15 songs I've got on there. What are your favorite songs to listen to while you walk or run? :bigear:

Welll..... here's the deal. It's really hard for me to find music I like to run to that's as clean as I'd like. Sooo... take some of these with that disclaimer. :P Here are some of my favorites:

 

AWOLNATION- Sail

All America Rejects- Gives you Hell

Sublime- Santeria, What I got

Maroon 5- Shiver, Moves Like Jagger, Tangled, Sweetest Goodbye, Harder to Breath

Flogging Molly- Kiss my Irish A$$

Flo-Rida and Will I Am- In the Ayer

Pink- U + Ur Hand, I'm Coming Up

Justin Timberlake- Good Foot

 

Nickleback, U2, and Muse are all good for running, too. HTH!

Ain't nothin' gonna to break my stride

Nobody's gonna slow me down, oh-no

I got to keep on movin'

Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride

I'm running and I won't touch ground

Oh-no, I got to keep on movin

 

I always think of this chorus when I am running.

I totally agree with ABBA.

 

I think any song with a fast beat that you know all the words to is good. Pick songs that you know because singing along can help take your mind off the "pain."

Echo by gorilla zoe (I honestly have not listened to any other song by them... and would probably be horribly embarased to have them on this list if I did... so...)

Usher - "Yeah"

Evanescence - Bring me back to life

Shakira - Hips dont lie

Gloria Gaynor I WILL SURVIVE!!!! (one of my life's anthems... right next to Victory in Jesus)

:iagree:I don't let my kids listen to these, but use an ipod... :-D

Years ago, after my 3 year old started singing 'Feel like a woman" after hearing it only 2 times, I decided that waiting till they are old enough to analyze the lyrics of songs, I would listen to iffy things without them.

 

Sooo... take some of these with that disclaimer. :P Here are some of my favorites:

 

AWOLNATION- Sail

 

Yup! I love most of that whole album while running. (or trying to run in my case) Burn it down & Sail are my favs.

 

A few others that keep my pace up:

 

Don't feel like Dancin' by Scissor Sisters

Let's get it started, Black Eyed Peas

My Body, Young the Giant

Stronger, Kelly Clarkson

We Found Love, Rhianna

First of the year, Skrillex (Love this music video, worth finishing it if you start watching it) Very Jael/Victorious church-like :D

Series of Dreams, Dylan

Le Manuscrit du Roi – La Tierche Estampie roial (ok for running, with no words at all. ) Hesperion XX1 & Jordi real

 

For perspective, I love many different musical genres. My normal playlists include everything from classical to rap.
