Okay you fellow screwballs, help me out.  I've got iTunes money to burn, and I want to increase my jogging music. 

I tend to like rock music, and to make it on my running list it has to be pretty loud and not slow; something that makes me want to pick my feet up and ignore pain.   Here are some of the songs that turn up frequently in my lists -- if you would, post your ideas in this thread, and maybe I'll pick up some cool music I haven't heard before!

Psychobilly Freakout (Rev Horton Heat)
Givin the Dog A Bone (AC/DC)
Road Runner (Aerosmith)
Dirty Juice (Big Head Todd & the Monsters)
Go Faster (Black Crowes)
Ain't That a Shame (Cheap Trick)
Sweet Jane (Lou Reed)
Two Young Lovers (Dire Straits)
Four Little Diamonds (ELO)
Cliffs of Dover (Eric Johnson)
Rude Mood (SRV)
Hide Away (SRV)
Get a Haircut (George Thorogood)
God's Gonna Cut You Down (Johnny Cash)
Lick It Up (Kiss)
Crush 'Em (Megadeth) -- awesome song for the part when  you're hurting worst.
Talk Dirty to Me (Poison)
Killing In the Name (Rage Against the Machine)
Mixed Emotions (Rolling Stones)
Hot for Teacher (Van Halen)
You Better You Bet (The Who)
Suicide Blonde (INXS)
I'm Alright (Kenny Loggins)
Hey Hey What Can I Do (Led Zeppelin)
The Hand That Feeds (Nine Inch Nails)

Jim Fixx was a jogger, he dead while jogging ... so I don't do it for health reasons.

Wouldn't "Eye of the Tiger" be required listening for making you pick your feet up and ignore pain? It should make you go straight into Rocky mode and have you looking for stairs to run up  :teddyr:.

Nah.  Although some 80's music definitely is part of my lists, that one doesn't work for me -- too slow.  =)  Although I do like the song, not for that purpose.  Ditto 80's songs like "The Burning Heart" and anything flashdance-y.

Psycho Circus

Anything by Tesla, Cinderella or Def Leppard  :thumbup:

If one can not jog to this, one should not jog at all...
