What songs really get you motivated!!??

For years now, any-damn-thing from Metallica, Ride the Lightning through S & M.

And lately - anything Johnny Rzeznik (Goo Goo Dolls) has touched.

We find beauty in the most incomprehensible places and the otherwise homely faces. It is our gift to see beyond the dirt, terror, sadness and defeat and find the true soul that lies within. We are Rescue.

I love, love, love the music in Step Blast. It makes me want to party. Also the music in the first cardio portion of LIC. I want to start dancing every time I hear it. I think both of these are 80's type music.

>Oh, yeah, kick start my heart!!!!

YEAH! Motley Crue ROCKS! :D I think my Dr Feelgood t-shirt got thrown out years ago... what a tragedy :( Kickstart My Heart is a rockin' song!!!
 
If we are just doing weights, DH loves Static-X - Machine, so we listen to that. Otherwise, whatever Cathe has in her DVDs I love. My favorite lately is the song for the combo #1 in HIS when i see that workout in my rotation list, I spend the whole day singing: ..."Dance floor...screem if you wanna get more"... I don't even know if those are the right lyrics...oh well...

A few songs that push me when they come on when I'm running are:

#1: "Rock is Dead" by Marilyn Manson.. THAT has got me up many hills! It's intense!

#2: "Bawitdaba" by Kid Rock

#3: "Sexyback" by Justin Timberlake

Other songs on my running list are:

"Right Now" by van halen
"Panama" by Van Halen (I like them too!)
"5oo Miles" by the Proclaimers

Gosh, I haven't gone running in SOOO long (due to the weather) I forget alot of them!!
 
I'm on a Linkin Park kick. Before that it was Breaking Benjamin.

I'm also an 80's fanatic. Love Styx, Journey, Heart, Benatar, Rick Springfield, Tom Petty, etc. Got TONS on my Mp4 player.
 
Lately I'm into the newest Arcade Fire. Love it!
ETA: I'm also crazy about a band called The Knife. Their album Silent Shout is amazing a fun to work out to.

I really love, to name a few, The Cure, The Smiths, Joy Division, New Order, Siouxie and the Banshees, Depeche Mode, The Ramones, The Clash, Minor Threat, David Bowie, Bad Religion, etc etc etc. I know not all of these band began in the 80s but they created tons of great music then! :D :D
