Favourite running music?
Whats your favourite music for running?
(Not generic sports, I mean running or jogging or fast hiking or power walking, etc')
I typically shuffle my 5 & 4 star music, but some of my favourite songs from it (And an additional "D Sports" playlist) are:
"The Eye of the tiger" (Rocky- Survivor).
Anyone not hyped up by running to this song is a damn white skinned commie .
"Rockey Theme" (The other song with the trumpets, not EoT)
"The Touch" - Transformers
(Silly I know, but tis awesome for mental rejuvenation).
Halo:
"Xbox track 2".
"Rock Theme for saving the world".
"Covenant Dance".
"Halo (2) Theme Mjolnir Mix".
"Truth and Reconciliation Suite".
"The Long run".
(Yes so I like running to Game or drum or VG music, so what
).
Mortal Kombat: "Liu Kang vs Sub Zero" (The part where the music speeds up is good at times).
Perfect dark: "Pelagix 2x" [I have the letter wrong, but my ipod/computer's not with me so sue me ).
"Mozart Remix" - perhaps Mozart's most famous symphony (The one that starts with multiple violins, whatsitname...) with a fast beat tuned for spinning or running.
"You're the best around" - Karate Kid.
Same principle as the touch, once it starts you won't stop for hell or Holy water .
I also listen to audiobooks for long, not sprinting/very fast hikes but relatively rarely (Or I only listen to segments).
There's a lot more music but these are the ones I remember right now by heart, so sue me, and I'm going off to my run

To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.

It's good, but not in the same vein as New Pornographer's sound. It's more "folksy" and "pop" than the New Pornographers "edgy" underground indie-rock sound.Joe wrote:Hey, cool. Have you heard any of Neko Case's solo stuff?New Pornographers
As for the OP, a good CD to run to is the "Run Lola Run" soundtrack. Seriously, though.
Ladytron, The Unicorns, Love is All, Dirty on Purpose, and Built to Spill is good music to listen to while running as well.
Shit the last time I could run, and it's been a while, I listened to The Empire Strikes Back. People around me (On a treadmill at the gym) get annoyed though 'cause I say the lines and do the sound effects.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.

I know, I got Blacklisted and Fox Confessor Brings the Flood off of eMusic. I love them both, but with that voice she could sing Happy Birthday and I'd buy it.It's good, but not in the same vein as New Pornographer's sound.
