Great Workout:::::Pump up songs!

The Who The Doors The Rolling Stones Wham Oasis Killers Franz Ferdinand George Thorogood OK OK kidding about Wham

Anything live . . . I have a bunch of Bon Jovi concerts on mine. The live versions just have an energy to them that studio recordings don't have. When I (used to) run on the treadmill I watch concert DVDs - same thing.

Try this cd - King of the Surf Guitar:The Very Best of *** Dale and the Del-tones Others: Sammy Hagar The Ramones Johnny Cash and of course Bruce

Dragon Force – Through the Fire and Flames B52’s – Rock Lobster Green Day – American Idiot The Clash – Rock the Casbah William Shatner – Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds Donny Osmond – Puppy Love Well maybe not the last 2…

here's few songs I wrote that'll get you pumped up: Ain't Gonna Stop www.songramp.com/.../viewtrack.php Kick Ass www.songramp.com/.../viewprivtrack.php if you like country you might get amped by: Reckless in Texas www.songramp.com/.../viewtrack.php Light at the End of the Tunnel www.songramp.com/.../viewtrack.php I also like All Fired Up + Pat Benetar When Brian Goodell won the 1500 at the 1976 Olympics he said Radar Love was playing in his mind during the race Lose Yourself - Eminem "Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment Would you capture it or just let it slip? His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out He's chokin, how everybody's jokin now The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah! Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked He's so mad, but he won't give up that easy - No He won't have it , he knows his whole back city's ropes It don't matter, he's dope He knows that, but he's broke He's so stacked that he knows When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's Back to the lab again yo This whole rap **** He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him You better lose yourself in the music, the moment You own it, you better never let it go You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo The soul's escaping, through this hole that it's gaping This world is mine for the taking Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order A normal life is borin', but superstardom's close to post-mortem It only grows harder, only grows hotter He blows us all over these hoes is all on him Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter Lonely roads, God only knows He's grown farther from home, he's no father He goes home and barely knows his own daughter But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water These bosses don't want him no more, he's cold product They moved on to the next schmoe who flows He nose dove and sold nada So the soap opera is told and unfolds I suppose it's old potna, but the beat goes on Da da dum da dum da da No more games, I'ma change what you call rage Tear this motha****in roof off like 2 dogs caged I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage But I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher Best believe somebody's payin the pied piper All the pain inside amplified by the fact That I can't get by with my 9 to 5 And I can't provide the right type of life for my family Cuz man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus See dishonor caught up bein a father and a prima donna Baby mama drama's screamin on and Too much for me to wanna Stay in one spot, another day of monotony's Gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail I've got to formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot Success is my only motha****in option, failure's not Mom, I love you, but this trail has got to go I cannot grow old in Salem's lot So here I go is my shot. Feet fail me not cuz maybe the only opportunity that I got You can do anything you set your mind to, man ?"

I eagerly await the Monday release of Bloc Party's new album. Their current album is fantastic to workout to. Arctic Monkeys and Queens of the Stone Age also provide good music to run by, even if gull says running provides no benefit to swimming.

Smash by the Offspring (the entire CD... they all rev me up and I don't think there's a bad song on there) Also Still Waiting by Sum 41. And, though not very original, We're Not Gonna Take It by Twisted Sister.

Lose Yourself - Eminem I believe Phelps mentioned before Athens that this was his pre-race song.

James Brown - Living in America (or almost anything by James Brown) Tom Petty - American Girl The Mint Julips - Higher and Higher The Nylons - One Fine Day Sam Cooke - A Change is Gonna Come (Not a pump up song, but it will show you just what perfection is.) Rockapella - Zombie Jamboree Dar Williams - Are You Out There? Black Sabbath - some things from the early albums. -LBJ

Scissor Sisters have some stuff that gets me in the mood to move. Generally though, I don't need musical motivation.
