Best Songs for Running?

I love to run everyday as a way of keeping fit and clearing my head. I love it, but recently bought an ipod as I figure running to music will be more fun (yes I’m a bit slow in buying an ipod). I was wondering if anyone can suggest good songs to run to? I am looking for fast tempo, upbeat, energising kind of songs. I’ve been searching the internet for ideas but don’t like a lot of suggestions. I want modern songs, I don’t like rock or rap music. I have so far picked a couple of ‘happy hardcore’ songs, but am open to dance/trance/club/techno or similar…any ideas will be greatly appreciated. In the meantime I will keep searching.

Answer #1

I really like that Raindrops song that mandyloo suggested, it’s right up my alley, thanks :)

Answer #2

I find the opening chorus to Bach’s “Magnificat”, as well as the first movements of several of the Brandenburg Concertos to be good choices.

Answer #3

Thanks for the suggestions…I really can’t stand Nine Inch Nails…I’m still looking for ideas. I found a website that had songs they claimed were ‘workout songs’ but they were these cheesy 80’s dance songs that made me want to puke. I have so far only downloaded songs by Darren Styles, he is a DJ that seems to have music I like. I think the real problem is that I’m too fussy, haha. Thanks though :)

I need MORE like these with solid high BPMs.
