I'm getting a wee bit sluggish on my treadmill. For the last couple of months I've been catching up on all my DVR'd shows to keep me motivated but it's starting to lose it's appeal. I'm not the most coordinated of runners (or, sadly, walkers for that matter...if I was home with a camera I would totally take a pic of all my running/walking battle scars to prove it) and therefore a little hesitant to take to the dark, icy roads just yet. But if I'm going to be able to stand my dreadmill for very much longer, I'm going to need a serious boost. I decided I need a whole new mix for the iPod and I'm going for some oldies but goodies. While there are days that a girl's just gotta have her Akon and Flavor Flav (NOT), I feel the need to get back to my roots.
So far, I've got:
Poison: Nothin' But A Good Time and Unskinny Bop
Def Leppard: Pour Some Sugar On Me
AC/DC: You Shook Me All Night Long and Back in Black
However, it's now 3:48am and I'm drawing a SERIOUS blank. Please help me remember what songs I HAVE to have on my new running mix.
As a token of my appreciation, I'll even burn a copy for anyone who wants one. (But only if you contribute legitimate "runnin' rock". If you send me Milli Vanilli, you're off the list.)

Also, this is a reminder you MUST have your White Elephant posted tomorrow for all those participating to choose from. Don't let us down!

Okay, I was all excited! & spammon stole my thunder! damn you! ha ha
You have to have Metallica! It's a MUST! Enter Sandman & Ride the Lightning Albums are FABULOUS!!
Yes, Ozzy too! Soo Good!
You have great taste Spammon! Rock on!
Um, Slayer & Skid Row too! I LOVED Skid Row & my husband STILL makes fun of me! haha Good Luck!
I would even send you a CD if you'd burn me your running mix!
Van Halen - Why Can't This Be Love
Always pulls me through.
Have you tried Netflix? I did that for about a year or so - watched every movie known to man then switched back to my TIVO'd shows. I am probably going to have to switch back to Netflix with the stupid writer's strike still going on. Ugh. Don't they realize they're ruining my workout?
Lets see, here's (some) of what I run to: (I'll try to eliminate the unclean songs!)
AFI - Miss Murder
Audioslave - Like A Stone
Foo Fighters - I'll Stick Around
Foo Fighters - The Pretender
Muse - Starlight
Panic! at the Disco - Time to Dance
Prodigy - Firestarter
Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name (watch the F bombs at the end!)
Shiny Toy Guns - Le Disko
Shiny Toy Guns - Don't Cry Out
Taking Back Sunday - Make Damn Sure
The All American Rejects - Stab My Back
I could go on and on... but this should suffice for now! Good luck.
Look, I know nothing about music other than Madonna. Bye Bye Miss American pie, her version, is very singable as you run. And I was going to suggest Guns N Roses Sweet Child of Mine.
But you have to have Bon Jovi my boyfriend on there! "Your love is like Bad Medicine, or "You give love a bad name" Anything from the New Jersey album.
I really want that CD.
A little mix of now and then. Great to run to....

Hi Amy - I just came over from someone's blog (I can't remember now who) - I don't have any suggestions as I only listen to country and I stay as far away from any treadmill as I possibly can - but we do have one thing in common - well, really 4 - I also have 4 kiddos. Mine are ages 15 (twin girls), 10 (boy) and 6 (girl) - I'm Kellan - nice to meet you.
Sorry, I won't be much help...you read my list of things about me and I don't run and I don't like hard rock!! Good luck and have fun though :) Power to ya.
Nothing beats good classic U2. The old stuff. Some new stuff too, but mostly the old. And I love Bare Naked Ladies.
Are you mad at me, are we fighting!!?? You didn't give me advice on my blog because I didn't give you advice here, huh. I see how you play. Bring it sistah.
j/j Let's totally go to Vegas. I'm sooooo there!!
At least you have a treadmill and you attempt to workout. I keep saying I will and instead I eat everything yummy I see.
I have really been soooo bad lately and I won't tell you how long lately is. When I'm good, I like Justin T. Also, I like him when I'm bad. ;-)
I was running today and thought of something to add to my list.
The new Transformer's Soundtrack is good.
bye!
OK, my most recent power song is (not an oldie) Evanescence Bring me to Life. You will totally sweat to this one plus clock your fastest mile--YES! Also good are Going Under and Call Me When You're Sober. I can tell you're surprised by my suggestion! Also, don't forget Def Leppard - Animal (Hysteria may be a little too slow) and always great are Aerosmith's livin' On The Edge, Dude (Looks Like a Lady) and Love in an Elevator. And don't forget Whiskey in the Jar - Metallica. I have more, call me.
What fun fun suggestions. I'm not good in the hard rock suggestions, but I love Pink and Black Eyed Peas for a good loud pick me up at the end of a run.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
Hubby had a hay day with all of them and spent an entire afternoon (bless his heart) putting together a mix for me. You guys all ROCK!
