Perfect (But Lesser Known) Songs that get your Ipod Poppin! (Read 897 times)

    Frankie Smith - Double Dutch Bus

     

    This song caused me to turn a 3 mile easy run into a tempo.  :-|

     

    Love that song.  It is one of the best skating songs around.  Can you say Backwards skate!   I'm not sure how I would feel about running to it though...Undecided

    "Shut up Legs!" Jens Voigt


    some call me Tim

      Pretty much the entirety of Fang Island's first album (self-titled) is ridiculously uplifting anthem rock. This one in particular is my regular pre-5k jam... many PRs have been forged by the endless repetition of this song on the way to the race:

       

      Welcome Wagon

       

      This one is pretty great, too, and was my introduction to the band:

        2 of my favorite race songs come from a documentary movie about underprivileged kids in a high school cooking program in Philadelphia- PressureCooker... Great movie. Great soundtrack

         

        Lil Mama - Lipgloss.  Not the kinda music i ever listen to, but this song makes me hustle

        Going On- Gnarls Barkley.  Perfect running tune.

          I am strict on the beat of the songs. They have to match my running. Here are a few songs that have my beat: http://toprunnersreview.com/#/4-points-of-proper-running/

                Not sure if these are "lesser known," but they are 30 years old so maybe off the radar for some:

                 

                Blondie: One Way or Another

                A-ha: Take on Me

                Van Halen: anything except the slower ballads

                  Just had time to check the last reply here at the moment, but "Take on Me" by Aha has been in my top-5 all time.  Positive song.

                   

                  Another song same era I put right next to it:  "Ain't nuthin gonna Break My Stride" by Matt Wilder.

                   

                  Now the Video for this?  A "Solid Gold" video, certainly indicative of the times and ridiculous on every level !  But....  Just close yer eyes and listen to the song instead, :-)

                      I love it!  (the video).  We used to watch that show when I was a kid - my sister's goal in life for a while was to be a "solid gold dancer".
