I'll give you the first 10 songs that come up on Shuffle since theres like 150 songs or whatever...
1. Arch Enemy - Pilgram
That soaring second guitar ups my pace by a good 30 seconds per mile.
2. Soundgarden - Birth Ritual
As I've said somewhere on here before, this is the love child of Immigrant Song and Working Man. And it will melt faces.
3. Dr. Dre & Tupac - California Love
Ain't no jam, like a west coast jam, cause a west coast jam keeps you on a nice even keel. That bouncy string section is so right it hurts.
4. Bruce Springsteen - Eyes on the Prize
I don't have many old negro spirituals on my running mix, but the horns on this one, coupled with the slowly building fury of this song is nothing short of righteous, and for an opening song, there is none better. Helps you build to race-pace without all the tendon-snapping that comes with punk.
5. Ke$ha - We R who we R
Sometimes you just need something so sacchrine and peppy you forget that your kidneys are failing. Ke$ha does it for me and if given the chance, I'd do it for her as well. yum.
6. Michael Jackson - Beat it
I assume this doesn't need explaination. PM me if it does.
7. The Wombats - Tokyo
Alright so this might expose some of my mental hangups/emotional illness but I love listening to songs about old girlfriends. Reminds me I need to be in top form in case I ever see them again. Plus few rock songs have such a "city living" feel. And since I run in the city...
8. Fitz & The Tantrums - Moneygrabber
1 is for the money, 2 is for the green, and this song is for my final mile. Such good piano I swear it makes me sexier.
9. Brittney Spears - 'Til the world ends
Pff...More like keep on running til the world ends.
10. Rob Zombie - Feel so Numb
The James Brown of soul-disco-horror-rock. Feels so numb is on there in hopes of me actually going numb to the lactic acid.
