Favorite running songs? (Page 2)

I have about 1000 songs on the pod with a very broad range so depends on the mood and intensity of the run.

current fave is the entire Big Willie Style - Will Smith CD

sometimes prodigy and basement Jaxx burst my ears

or some old 80's stuff like Yello - Oh yeah and The Race

Not brand new, but:

What I've Done - Linkin Park

It depends on the mood . . . BUT

1) Anything by "Kings of Leon"

2) Anything from "Dashboard Confessional"--acoustic

3) Mika

4) "I'm Too Sexy"--Right Said Fred

5) Some of "The Rocket Summer"

Jump Around - House of Pain

Sex on Fire - Kings of Leon

Jammin' - Bob Marley

She Moves in Her Own Way - The Kooks

You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC

That's one of my favorites too, also: 

Juicy - Better than Ezra

It's My Life - Bon Jovi

Viva la Vida - Coldplay

Pocket of Sunshine - Natasha Bedingfield (after listening to the Lucy Podcast)

Hey Ya! - Outkast 

Hmmmm, some good ones here.  I'll add:

"Jesus of Suburbia" - Green Day

"First Tube" - Phish

All of "The Colour and the Shape" - Foo Fighters 

Music while running?  What's that???

But to get pumped for a race it is some Pantera, Megadeth, Metallica or Opeth.

I'm right there with you on the Modest Mouse selection. Also, I CAN'T BELIEVE nobody has mentioned:

The Seeker, and

Baba O'Riley

both by The Who

Geez, finally someone else who rocks Daft Punk while running.  I think "Technologic" is my absolute #1 running song of all-time.  I guarantee I can peel 15 seconds off my fastest possible mile if it is playing.   

I'm amazed at the variety of music people listen to while running.  While I also have a bazillion songs on my iPod, I find that only a select few make the cut for my "Running Music" playlist.  They just have to have the right beat, pace, sound, message, whatever - but I definitely can't just listen to music that I like in general while running.  I tried to rock a Ben Folds album one time while running.  I love the album and listen to it all the time, but I found out it is NOT running music.

I mean, Bob Dylan?  Bob Marley?  Phish?  I'm sorry, this is NOT running music.  Of course it all has its place during other, uh, "recreational" activities...  but not running.  :P

All 3 Linkin Park CDs, all 3 Nickelback CDs (and an upcoming 4th), Metallica.

Lots of 80s rock on the pod too; Rolling Stones, Night Ranger, Styx, Skid Row, White Lion, Great White. Even had Iggy Pop's "Wild One" cranked on today's run.

Orgy: Blue Monday

Def Leppard: Pour some sugar on me

Matthew Good Band:Push till it hurts

Pink:  18 Wheeler

Black Eyed Peas:  Pump It (Louder)

What a great question!  I am stealing ideas for good running songs from everybody!

 Yeah, stealing music ideas was my whole idea in the first place!    I sit there in the iTunes store and have a hell of a time thinking of songs to download, and it takes forever to try to find good new music. 

I have lots of new stuff to check out now...   but keep it coming, people!

Dont want to steal your thread but now we all have some ideas for good running songs (excellent idea by the way) can anyone reccomend some good headphones to listen to them on.

I have the little in ear ones that work brilliantly most of the time but when they get sweaty they fall out. Obviously I dont want some huge DJ specials but any good ones you have tried would be a start thanks

Rain - Rusted Root

Hurricane - Bob Dylan

Bawitdaba - Kid Rock

Lose Yourself - Eminem

Thunderstruck - AC-DC
