Amen on Enter Sandman and Paradise City. Not that big of a fan of Eye of the Tiger. Here are some more I like to listen to when I work out:

You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC
Welcome to the Jungle - Guns & Roses
Start Me Up - Rolling Stones
I Can't Drive 55 - Sammy Hagar
You Really Got Me - Van Halen

Ain't Talkin' Bout Love -- Van Halen
Welcome to the Jungle -- Guns N' Roses
Slap My Bitch Up -- Prodigy
A few songs by Wilco -- forget which ones.

An excellent choice.

Mine are sort of strange, although I echo AC/DC's you shook me ALl Night Long.

In addition, I have alaways been lifted by Lady Madonna by the beatles, as well as by Suffragette City by David Bowie.

Wham Bam thank you m'am

Here's Nike's list (I think it largely sucks):

http://www.nike.com/nikeplus/#powersongs

There's a feature on the page where you click on an athlete and it names their song. Kind of entertaining.

Once it gets to the "F-U, I Won't Do What You Tell Me..." chorus, I can be running on empty and hit that part and be absolutely ready to rock. Definitely one of my favorite pump up parts of the song.

Some of those are really weird choices... "Hips Don't Lie"? What am I getting excited about (besides watching Shakira shake it). I mean, some are decent songs, just not what I would consider "Power Songs".

Nas- Shootem up
Foo Fighters- on your honor
Notorious BIG- Hit'em up
Eminem- Lose Yourself

MikeWaters · 12-19-2006, 10:07 PM

Thinking about Shakira would give me a surge of energy. I don't know about you guys.

Does Notorious BIG have a song "Hit'em Up" as well? I know Tupac does, and that is one that just BARELY missed my cut.
