I have Tina Turner’s greatest hits…”Rollin on the River” will really get ya going!
March 2nd, 2008 at 5:48 pm
It Keeps You Running - Doobie Bros. Actually sort of a slower paced song. I just thought the title was appropriate.
Go Your Own Way - Fleetwood Mac
Flirtin’ With Disaster - Molly Hatchet
I Want You To Want Me - Cheap Trick
Talk (Junk Mix) - Coldplay
Rollin’ & Tumblin’ -Cream (Live)
Roll Over Beethoven - Mountain (from the album ‘Flowers Of Evil’)
If you run during all of these songs you probably will drop dead from exhaustion.
March 2nd, 2008 at 6:06 pm
Don’t pay for this music you’ve probably already bought at some point in your life. I’ve got lots of mp3’s I can give you for free. Check you email….comin’ your way.
March 2nd, 2008 at 7:33 pm
He’s right. I can burn you a cd of these also if you’d like. HRB if you send her songs via email her email client won’t open for days.
March 2nd, 2008 at 7:35 pm
Cream, Blind Faith, Zepplin
March 2nd, 2008 at 8:00 pm
You are right rt. I’m using a web file sharing program called Driveway. Mamma didn’t raise no fool.
March 2nd, 2008 at 8:51 pm

March 3rd, 2008 at 5:33 pm
Thanks for letting me know.
March 3rd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
I can play Sweet Child ‘O Mine and Don’t Cry by GNR on my Fender Strat HSS.
I’m not kidding.
Really.
March 3rd, 2008 at 7:27 pm
Hey, I KNOW!
Why don’t I just run BESIDE YOU…with my guitar and AMP (on my shoulder like a boom box) and blast the Theme from KTBS, Helen Reddy’s I Am Woman or AC/DC’s Back in Black?
Yeah, gurl.
March 3rd, 2008 at 7:29 pm
A good selection is also Theme from Jaws or Close Encounters of a Third Kind…
Hah…those always get ME juiced up whilst running…I TRIED to explain that to Roger Clemons. He said something about HGH instead…I thought it was no new-fangled band.
March 3rd, 2008 at 7:30 pm
some new-fangled…not no new-fangled
March 3rd, 2008 at 7:41 pm
LindsAy, run beside me and sing, “Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves.”
March 3rd, 2008 at 7:52 pm

How OLD are you guys? Geez… do all of your selections come with a dust-rag?
March 3rd, 2008 at 11:34 pm
Some great tunes listed so far - some of my training tunes:
3 Doors Down - Kryptonite

Allman Brothers - One Way Out
Bad Company - Rock Steady
Billy Idol - Rebel Yell (live version)
Guns N Roses - Welcome To The Jungle
Lynard Skynard - Call Me The Breeze
Rolling Stones - Street Fighting Man (live version rocks)
Tom Petty - Running Down A Dream (coming to Dallas in August)
Van Morrison - Domino
Tommy Tutone - 867-5309 (Jenny…)
Spencer Davis Group - Gimme Some Lovin’
Golden Earring - Radar Love
Oh, the 8 tracks go on and on….
Also, caught the Carrie Underwood/Keith Urban show last night at Centurytel and Urban put on a fantastic show - although they categorize him as “country”, his music borders great rock n roll and he is a great musician.
March 3rd, 2008 at 11:42 pm
I can’t believe somebody actually used the word “whilst”.
Btw, “Call Me The Breeze” is the greatest Skynerd song. The horn section RULES.
March 4th, 2008 at 2:11 am
We’re both wrong. It’s Lynyrd Skynyrd. Second best Skynyrd song:”Saturday Night Special”.
I’m still trying to get over “whilst”.First Shakespeare quotes….now “whilst”.
I think somebody was an English major…..
Btw, it’s “Clemens”. Also, “Close Encounters of THE Third Kind”.
March 4th, 2008 at 10:35 am
I ALWAYS use “whilst”. I am a mere 29.
Did you guys know that the band got the idea for their name from Leonard Skinner, a gym teacher/basketball coach for some of the members at Robert E. Lee High School in Jacksonville, Florida? It’s true.
And, who are you the “Close Encounters” police?!?!??!
March 4th, 2008 at 10:36 am
Oh, Led Zepplin rocks, too! Sher, Kashmir will get ya joggin!
Remember to wear your tshirt that reads “I’m not speedin’ gurl, I’m qualifyin’”
March 4th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
Spelled “Zeppelin”. Also, “Kashmir” is a dud. Led Zeppelin recorded exactly TWO great songs in their entire career:”Rock and Roll” and “Nobody’s Fault But Mine”. Do NOT get me started on “Stairway to Heaven”.
Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones are, in fact, the two most overrated bands in the history of the world. The Stones’ ONE great song in their ENTIRE career:”Tumbling Dice”. Keith Richards= most overrated guitarist who ever lived. Don’t get me started on Jagger.
And did you guys know that Keith Moon gave Led Zeppelin its name? In ‘68 Jimmy Page was talking to Moon and John Entwistle about leaving the Who and starting a new band with him….and Moon laughed and said it would go over “like a bloody lead zeppelin.”
March 4th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
LindsAy, run beside me and sing, “Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves.”
REALLY SHERRI. I AM SURPRISED THAT YOU WOULD SUGGEST TAKING LINDSAY’S PERSONAL THEME SONG FOR USE IN YOUR RUNNING. YOU KNOW THAT THAT IS ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYED WHEN LINDSAY IS EITHER A-ENTERING A ROOM OR B- EXITING A ROOM…MUCH LIKE HAIL TO THE CHIEF!
March 4th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
Well said, sister! Well, said.
“I was born in the wagon of a travelin’ show, my momma used to dance for the money they’d throw…”
Did you guys know that “Half Breed” was written about and FOR Sher?
Sher even cries when she sees litter on the roadways…a nod to her Injun heritage. I’ve see it. She gets this one “trail of tears” streaming down her left cheek! Boy, does she hate litter.
March 4th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
And every night all the men would come around
and lay their money down.
March 4th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
bc317 on obviously on crack. The Stones would be legends if the only song they ever did was Monkey Man, but they also recorded Exile on Main Street, Sticky Fingers, and Let It Bleed. Zeppelin I, II, and Physical Graffiti are monumental albums, with Page playing the blues in a way not seen before.
March 4th, 2008 at 5:32 pm
you know springsteen’s got a tune or two to run with…born to run…dancing in the dark…glory days…
….anybody got a problem with KC and the sunshine band?
March 4th, 2008 at 6:20 pm
Agree with Big Daddy - been listening to Stones since Ed Sullivan days in mid 60’s and feel their long tenure supports argument that they are “Greatest Rock n Roll Band in the World”. Went to their 2006 show in Little Rock and that rates as one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. In my opinion Jagger is the ultimate rock n roll front guy (Steven Tyler runs close 2nd in my view). Regarding Keith Richard’s, I don’t think he can hold a tune in a bucket (or whatever the phrase is), but many regard his songwriting and guitar playing abilities up with the best of all time. But, hey, he has been a Rolling Stone since 1962 or whenever. But this is just me and my opinion and everyone entitled to their own!!!!!!!!!
Zeppelin awesome band as well and my 15 yr old daughter wants me to take her somewhere/anywhere to see them if they announce tour after Robert Plant finishes his current gig with Allison Krause. However, I’m not paying $10,000 per ticket.
After Super Bowl, my same 15 yr old asked me about Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - one of my favorites whom I’ve never seen, so we looking at June 2008 date in Madison Sq Garden and that would be a blast!!
March 4th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
There’s really no way to settle the Stones/Zeppelin issue. I’ve just always considered both to be WAY overrated. Did they both sell millions of albums? Yes. Did a lot of people love their music? Yes. Does all that mean anything to me? No.
At least “Exile” does contain “Tumbling Dice”. “Monkey Man”= good, not great.
A lot of the Zeppelin thing with me comes down to the fact that I just could never stand Robert Plant. Also, the whole black magic/occult business I always saw as ridiculous and laughable. I will concede that Jimmy Page is one of the greats.
March 4th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers on the other hand………way UNDERrated.
March 4th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
For you to be him you need these songs to get you crunk!!!!
CRANK DAT BATMAN- POP IT OFF BOYZ
MY DOUGIE- LIL WILL FT. SOULJA BOY
March 4th, 2008 at 11:05 pm
Did I mention that I saw KC and the Sunshine Band AND Three Dog Night THIS YEAR at the Bacchus parade? Boo yah!
The Beatles…WAAAY UNDERrated.
Red Hot Chili Peppers, GNR, Aerosmith, Rolling Stones…all great!
March 5th, 2008 at 2:24 am
Boogie With Stu, one of my favorites http://www.last.fm/music/Led+Zeppelin/_/Boogie+With+Stu
March 5th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
Getting all worked up over KC & the Sunshine Band….that’s truly frightening.
If I ever actually saw KC & the Sunshine Band, I might just have no choice but to take my own life.
March 5th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
I have to give props for the reference to the anti-litter campaign featuring the crying Indian. How does anybody born in the late 70s even know about that?
March 5th, 2008 at 5:28 pm
bc317…I felt the same way about the band. I had to suffer through the show to see Three Dog Night.
March 5th, 2008 at 5:28 pm
bc317…I’m WELL before my time…trust me on this.
March 6th, 2008 at 8:14 am
I was a teenager in the sixties before LindsAY was born. She wasn’t born until 1978 and she knows more about the sixties and seventies than I do!
