Lit Up by Buckcherry. "I love the cocaine. I love the cocaine." Just good hard rock.

Most of the stuff that has been mentioned here I listen to on occasion. Usually, it is an audiobook. I'm listening to "Anansi Boys" by Neil Gaiman right now.

I assumed that I would find SOMEONE with my random tastes! Oh, well...maybe I'll spark an interest out there somewhere

Currently on my shuffle:

A Little Less Conversation - Elvis
Eminence Front - The Who
Theme from the Sopranos - A3
No More Drama - Mary J Blige
Tell Me Why - Will Smith
Single - Natasha Bedingfield (don't tell my husband)
A Little Bit More - Jamie Lidell

I forget what else, but that's pretty representative.

heres just a few of my current mix artists

as I lay dying- frail worlds collapse
yellowcard- lights and sounds
drop dead...gorgeous- in vogue
the raconteurs- broken boy soldiers
bury your dead- cover your tracks
every time I die- gutter phenomenon

enjoy( this mix is not for the faint of heart)

i like sorta angry or upbeat rock music to run to. i'm a huge fan of early 90s and late 60's.

just sort of "discovered" how good this song is: GO by Pearl Jam. the lyrics go like this "oh please don't go out on me, don't go on me now." i sing this part out loud to my achilles, knees, and shins while i'm on my long runs. even though i don't think that's what eddie vedder intended, it works for me.

i love "start me up" by the rolling stones as the first song in all of my running playlists.

there are so many great ones.

whoever said maximo Park ...
a sincere thank you. I took a bunch of suggestions and randomly added them to my mp3.
yesterday I was dying @ mile 2. then this band came on & reminded me of the violent fems (sp?). I liked it and blew through the last 3.
thanks again, this site rocks!

Here's a good one. "Burnin Love" by Elvis. How can you beat lyrics like this one when you are running....

"It's hard to breathe. My chest is heav'n. I just might turn in to smoke, but I feel fine."
