These are also on my shuffle.

I listen to a lot of 90s era punk rock... so my shuffle has a lot of Rancid, Inquisition (this was a local Richmond band), Ann Berretta (also Richmond), Green Day, Pinhead Gunpowder, Operation Ivy, CIV, Shelter etc.

I really recommend CIV's album - Set Your Goals it's a really good feeling punk/hardcore record with a positive message. It really fuels my runs and workouts.

I think they're great...in particular, the Ida Maria song. Sometimes I just put it on repeat :)

I like the pixies too. If you have time, put up some specific songs that are your favs and I'll put them on my list.

Thanks for the suggestions . . . those are some good tunes. I am usually a classic rock type of guy but I like some metal, hip hop, oldies, and even classical to listen while I run.

Thx for the Memories (Fall Out Boy) 156 3:23

Radio Free Europe (REM) 156 4:05

Hey ya (Outkast) 159 3:55

Goodbye to you (Scandal) 161 3:46

I Wanna Be Sedated (The Ramones) 162 2:29

How far we’ve come (Matchbox Twenty) 166 3:31

Not sure about the BPM…

I will add some of those to my song list. Do you think we could do a list to post here for running songs? What is your opinion?

my fav song to pick me up when I am hurting on a run is "feeling better" by Bob Schneider. He is a jazzy/country kind of guy out of Austin, TX and the song has a great feel good beat. Check it out, you can listen to his stuff before you buy at his website, bobschneidermusic.com. Go to menu/discogrophy/album im good now/ track 20 to hear it. Enjoy!

I have some standard cliche running songs like "Born to Run" Springsteen, "Roll Me Away" Bob Seagar, and "Runaway" Bon Jovi. Yes I am from NJ.
