I've posted this in other forums but seem to get unsatisfactory responses (lots of rap & heavy metal recommendations) probably due to the age of the participants. Here's my question: what are your 2 or 3 favorite songs to run to?<br><br>
Here's a couple of mine to start things off:<br>
Your friends are tearing us apart by Eric Clapton (my favorite singer in the world)<br>
I run for life by Melissa Etheridge (how motivational!)<br>
River Deep Mountain Wide by Celine Dion (this one really gets you cooking)<br>
I also like a lot of motown songs.<br><br>
Have a great day, everyone!<br>

Hey ProfromDover and Liam, good suggestions all! I like a few of the Allman Bros songs but not the slower ones for running (like Sweet Melissa). My hubby has seen them in concert a few times, years back. We also recently went to see Derek Trucks, the son of one of the original band members. I really enjoy Journey, Bob Seger, U2, a little Motown, a little Santana, etc. Our next concerts are Tori Amos (my hubby's choice) and Bruce Springsteen (my choice). Both are coming up next month. We've agreed to splurge the next time the Rolling Stones come to the area and will buy the best tickets we can afford. Hey, how much longer could they possibly perform?<br><br>
BTW, you're right -- I do mostly run on a treadmill. If I didn't have an Mp3 player, I'd go nuts. There's a TV in front of the treadmills and elliptical trainers but they only get a few news stations, a sports station, and VH1 which usually has awful programming early in the morning (no music, or very little music) and some cooking program (I don't cook hardly ever).<br><br>
Thanks for your suggestions ~<br><br>
Susan

Some great suggestions! BTW I really like Johnny Lang and I've seen Robert Cray (he opened for Eric Clapton); that guy has a voice like velvet. Haven't heard of some of the others -- thanks for some new ideas. BTW I don't usually like Celine either but that particular song makes me kick it into high gear. Has anyone heard of a group called Will Hoge? They're pretty good too.<br><br>
Sans Souci, one of my kids lives in Montreal so he sometimes tells me about the bands he goes to see and what he listens to, but he's a big abstract jazz fan & I'm more of a bluesy jazz fan. He's getting his PhD at McGill now and I miss him a lot b/c I rarely see him. He teaches chemistry & physics to undergrads and grad students.<br><br>
I really, really appreciate all these comments and suggestions because I'm getting sick to death of what's currently on my Mp3 player. If I hear "new shoes" by Paolo Nutini one more time I'm going to crush the damn thing underneath my new running shoes! I've just gotta delete that song really fast!<br><br>

Um, sorry to sound really stupid, but what are podcasts and can you listen to them on a regular Mp3 (not an ipod)?<br><br>
BTW I love Stevie Ray Vaughn & ZZ Top too but absolutely detest Led Zeppelin.<br><br>
