Anyways, that song for me is TFK’s “Throw up your rawkfist”
Miley Cyrus…you know you were all thinking it!
Um, I know that about ten years ago it used to be Limp Bizkit’s “Break Stuff.” I don’t know what the heck was wrong with me. But don’t worry, Jesus saved me seven years later anyway!
heavy trans siberian stuff!
Who’s Miley?
Uhm,Im ashamed to listing my new workout music. It seems like the apple bottom jeans is always playing at the gym everyone morning at 915!!! Ugh….. Its in my head. Great question, always looking for more music on my IPOD!
“Hunger Strike” by Temple of the Dog. I don’t know why – cadence probably – but it gives me just the right rhythm to finish up a looooonnng run.
I refuse to shut it.
And I’m not joking. That crap will get you going.
“baby got back” – sit mix a lot
ummm…SIR mix a lot
“Every New Day” (Live Version) by Five Iron Frenzy
OR
“Another One Bites the Dust” by Queen. Love that baseline.
Stryper, “Soldiers Under Command” – Who’s with me?
“Anthem” by Superchic(k)
“Southtown” – P.O.D.
Whitesnake – “Here I go again” or Jefferson Starship – “We built this city”. Make you smile on every mile (t hee).
Bawitdaba – Kid Rock
Lose Yourself – Eminem
Undignified – David Crowder
Buzzin’ – Shwayze (good pace song)
Enter Sandman by Metallica, or Master of Puppets!
Why are you making me admit this? It’s soooo embarrassing. OK, FINE! It’s Duran Duran. Hungry Like the Wolf. Sheesh.
Believe-Yellowcard
The Adventure-Angels & Airwaves
Last Train Home-Lost Prophets
“Southtown”- POD OR “Eye of the Storm”- Blindside
All Because of You- U2

I alternate between two power songs on my Nike Sport Kit when running:
Move Along -The All-American Rejects
Dead Man -Jars of Clay
Anything off the Rocky soundtrack’s
Rockfist – Thousand Foot Krutch
This is one of the most rocking, pump-me-up songs I know.
Brad Ruggles
http://www.bradruggles.com
Note: I love Jesus.
That being said:
-Anything by Rage Against the Machine.
-Song 2 by Blur
-Do You Call My Name by Ra
-We Shine by Fee
Pride & Joy – Stevie Ray Vaughn
In Regards to Myself – Underoath
Yep, that’ll do it.
I feel ya on this post – for me, whether I’m cycling, running, or whatever the music is absolutely what gets me through. Probably my favorite, though, is by The Bodyrockers, “The Like The Way You Move”.
The Sound of Settling by Death Cab for Cutie
Uncontainable – Lee McDerment
Itsy Bitsy Spider
Eminem- Lose Yourself
POD- Set it Off
“It’s On” by Superchick
Jackson 5 – I want you back
Black Flag – Damaged (the whole album)
has always pumped me up.
ps – This is totally a “bro” topic. haha.
Maneater – Hall & Oates … OK, maybe not really.
Unbreakable – Fireflight
anything rockin’ from Audio Adrenaline – before Mark lost his voice
Life is a Highway – Tom Cochrane. this one used to be my pump-up song before each game.

Whirlwind-Cross Movement, guaranteed to keep you pushin
Incubus–Anna Molly
Da Truth–Star Struck
Sister Christian – Night Ranger
Seriously? No one listens to the Crue?
In the permanent ‘power song’ slot on my iPod:
“Kickstart My Heart” by Motley Crue.
I don’t do any sort of physical activity very often, however when I do “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor usually always gets me through it.
“Came To My Rescue” by Hillsong United is still the best workout music on my playlists…
It builds and builds and then it explodes with such an awesome anthem:
“In my life, be lifted high.
In our love, be lifted high.
In our world, be lifted high.”
What better to chew on and repeat in your mind and heart while your running?
“Rock N Rule” by Emery (terrible title, amazing song)
“Let Go” by Edison Glass
“I Will Run” by Misty Edwards (pretty sure that’s the title)
I don’t lift weights or run (for good reasons on the latter), but those are my “go songs.” It’s funny that I like Emery because I usually cannot stand screamo. But I did a story on them and caught a show, and now I admire them and listen to their stuff from time to time. =)
Who Can Be Against Me – Supertones
Diamonds for Sierra Leone – Kanye West (not the Jay-Z remix) I love the driving beat and the way the lyrics explode out of his mouth.
The Pretender – Foo Fighters … I shoveled to that track a LOT this past winter!
Discoteque – U2 is also a decent last-lap track as well. Those lyrics just push you to get it done…
Oh yeah, and I echo Will. “Eye of the Tiger” is AMAZING. I like to pretend I’m Rocky running up those stairs sometimes.
“In Regards to Myself” by Underoath……..it rocks, hard….
Great Question. My NikePlus Powersong is “List of Demands” by Saul Williams. Nike is actually using it right now in their new sparq campaign. I hit that center button as I’m just entering back into my subdivision.
I’m looking for NikePlus challenges. Just started running a few weeks back. If you’re looking for a challenge too, hit me up.
My user id on NikePlus is: mbunk@danielbrian.com

Alright, don’t laugh.
I have a workout/running mix on my ipod that’s filled with old skool Britney Spears. Like, before she became a momma. It also has sexyback, rock your body, and others-Justin T.
Although, I recently got the soundtrack to Step It Up 2, and that really gets me going.
Nothing like dance music…haha.
the last time I hit the gym (four months ago when I was NOT pregnant.) it was
Stronger by Kanye West
I can’t keep one song for too long, so I’m sure it’d have to change.
For energy- Silence by Delerium (Sanctuary Mix)
To pump myself up before any bike ride over 40 mi- The Grudge by Tool (If you listen to the lyrics it’s not as negative as it sounds)
To get out of bed when I don’t want to- Where the Streets Have No Name by U2
Still looking for the tune that will get me to the top of the climbing wall (I’m afraid of heights)
Don’t laugh..
Top Gun Soundtrack
Bombs Over Baghdad- OUTKAST
Jump- Van Halen
Right Now- Van Halen
Glamorous- Fergie
and Ludacris…and Snoop Dog-I just know the words and can spit them with the guys while I am pounding out a hill
U2 – Where the Streets Have No Name, Pride
“A Little Bit More” by Jamie Lidell… love it.
And, in a flash back to my youth group days, “Bounce Back” by Stacie Orrico.
And in another flash back to high school, “One in a Million” by Bosson.
Rage Against the Machine’s “Guerrila Radio” does it every time. When Zach de la Rocha says, “all hell can’t stop us now,” I feel like I could to an extra half hour.
Don’t Stop For Anything by Jonny Lang, helps me push harder through that last quarter mile of my walk.
ooo I forgot:
Jimmy Eat World: Futures
At the Drive-in: Relationship of Command
Those are nice whilst jogging (soft j)
“Til the Day I Die” by Third Day
Turn it Around by Israel Houghton. Maybe wierd, but I just love the song and the rythm keeps my butt movin’ even when I’m dying to fall over. Even makes me wanta dance sometimes…..sadly enough for anyone watching, sometimes I do.
“New Born” – Muse (starting at 1:23 in the song)
No other feeling will make you want to bash out walls with your face like that one!
Anything off of Pat Boone’s “In a Metal Mood” album. My adrenaline really gets pumping to his rendition of “Crazy Train” and “Paradise City”.
Man, that Pat Boone can rock.

First time post from a lurker here – you almost brought me out of the shadows with the coffee question (Dad’s garage roasted Mexican Turquesa that accidently got a few drops of bike oil in the batch, black BTW), but the music question, I had to answer.
“Numb” by U2, which is usually how I feel when I’m excercising

Toby Mac – Boomin
FamilyForce5 – SuperSonic -
Supersonic – FF5

Southtown – POD
Supersonic – FF5
Represent – Lecrae
Southtown – POD
Underoath — Casting Such A Thin Shadow
I found your blog!!! Okay Carlos, this is embarassing but it’s the truth. When I’m coming around the corner on that 10 mile run, my body is broken, and I need some “raise the roof” mojo in my legs and spirit I listen to:
Jessie’s Girl by Rick Springfield.
You knew there was a reason we got along last night so well, yes?
So great to hang with you and Heather. Hope you had fun drinking expensive wines and I really don’t mean to goof on your twittering self so much. It’s all good. (I’m sure I’m just jealous on some level.)
Here’s for transparency….
“Boomin” and “Diverse City”- Tobymac
“Vertigo”- U2
“La Vida Loca”- Ricky Martin
“Everybody Dance Now”- C&C Music Factory
“Reflex”- Duran Duran
“American Dream”- Switchfoot
“My Prerogative”- Bobby Brown
“Sexyback”- Justin Timberlake (clean version available if needed)
“Baby Got Back”- Sir Mix A Lot
damn girl- justin timberlake
promiscuous- Nelly Furtado
maneater- nelly furtado
and sometimes some shaggy gets gets me home
Theme song to Chariots of Fire?
No, really. Something like Paralyzer (Finger Eleven).
Tears for Fears “The Working Hour”
Always prepares me for something stressful.
Everlong by the Foo Fighters! (Most mentioned band on the list so far, maybe? I’m so unoriginal)
any track on Linkin Park’s Hybrid Theory.
I play Steve Fee on my ipod at the gym before I start doing my insane amount of sit-ups. His songs make me want to go change the world.
Where the streets have no names – and I’m not really even a U2 fan. Looking at this list, it would be interesting to have people put there ages on this one. Wonder what the correlation would be between age and power song!
I have a workout playlist full of these songs…my best bets to get up the hill:
1. American Dream – Switchfoot
2. Unsung – Helmet
3. Broken Man – The Von Bondies
4. Monkey Wrench – Foo Fighters
5. ‘Ch Check it Out – The Beastie Boys
So if you see me rockin’ out at the gym…more than likely one of these is in my ear.
After a quest to “convert” from the likes Tool, Rage Against The Machine, and Smashing Pumpkins, I’ve latched onto some of the following:
RED: End of Silence (whole album–what’s an album?) but “Wasting Time” and “Breathe Into Me” in particular
Pillar: Bring Me Down
Skillet: Rebirthing (also almost the whole Collide album)
Decyfer Down: Fight Like This
Now when I still have to go old school, it’s
Van Halen: Unchained
The Who: The Real Me
I’m a worship leader and I train Muay Thai and some Jiu Jitsu and when I’m running I pretend I’m giving interviews for my upcoming UFC Middle Weight Championship Fight! How lame! Thank God this is a response to a post that is old and I’ll never be found out! Peace…J
