The Nov OS iPod mojo playlist
Hey, gang!
If you're like me you rely heavily on your iPod (or favorite MP3 player) to help get you through those tough bike and run sessions. And, if you're like me, you're always on the lookout for new tunes to keep things fresh and give you that little bit of extra mojo to battle through those super-hard intervals when you need a boost. So I figured we could share some recs for our "go-to" songs when things get tough.
Here are a handful old faves and recent additions that get me amped up:
- "Killing in the Name Of" Rage Against the Machine
- "Battle Flag" Lo Fidelity All Stars
- "Push the Tempo" Fat Boy Slim
- "Boom" Bloodhound Gang
I've also been into Bhangra/DJ/Dance music lately for those longer 85% intervals and EZ pace runs.
So...what gets your blood pumping? I figure we could all use some new mojo tunes for the Saturday bike workout!

Great thread. You should get a lot of good entries here. Looking forward to some suggestions. At the top of my list is just about anything by Soundgarden, especially the Superunknown disc. But, above all others is "Rusty Cage" off their BadMotorFinger album. If you can find a live version from around '91-'92, even better. I plan to have it looped on my iPod in the hour or so leading up to the swim start at IMLP. Perfect combination of driving guitars, pounding drums and rev-it-up lyrics.
* Horseshoes and Handgrenades - Green Day
* True Believers - Bouncing Souls
* The Boogie That Be - Black Eyed Peas
* Body Movin' - Beastie Boys

@ mike - I was scrolling up your list and saying this has to be a canadian and it was!!!
I have alot of stuff by nickelback, greenday, finger eleven, black eyed peas, lady gaga, eminem. Nothing like hard rock, goofy lyrics and angry rap to get a guy going!!!
Sure. I've never moved a thread before so I'm not sure what the procedure is. Anyone know? Or do I just start a new thread from scratch with the same topic?
I See You Baby - Groove Armada & Gran'ma Funk
I'm On Fire - Bruce Springsteen [good for warm up]
Umbrella (Rhianna cover) - All Time Low [far superior to Rhianna's version - this one has an extra background beat and seems quicker]
The Underdog - Spoon
Lose Yourself - Eminem
Into the Fire - Thirteen Senses
Beat It - Fall Out Boy
Here It Goes Again - Ok Go
Little Favours - KT Tunstall
Black Horse and the Cherry Tree - KT Tunstall

can always throw in some old school rap - NWA, Cypress Hill, Run DMC, Beastie Boys
Even though i am a Jersey guy Bon Jovi doesn't do it for me. Maybe some Bruce if I am relaxing but not for some work.
I definitely need some new music though. It might if I actually listened to the radio occasionally.
OMG that's amazing guys! You pretty much listen to the same stuff I do! Add to the Iron Maiden list: "2 minutes to Midnight" and throw in some DIO and DOKKEN as well and were all good!
I am a huge fan of the Jay Z / Linkin Park mashups for going really hard on the bike.
