I like a bit of Pink / Black Eyed Peas / Blur / Pulp / Justin T. My taste is a bit random.

Didyouhearmeontheradio · 18/01/2014 18:39

I love Chelsea Dagger by the Fratellis. Best ever running song!

Belindaearl2 · 18/01/2014 00:01

Groove Armada feat Gramma Funk: I See You Baby (Fatboy Slim Radio Edit) Grin

trainersandcake · 17/01/2014 20:59

Cheating as it's a whole album but: Daft Punk Live (album) - it's like a runner's secret weapon!
Calvin Harris: I Get All The Girls
R Kelly: World's Greatest
Empire of the Sun: We Are The People
Arctic Monkeys: R U Mine

I've done four half marathons and these are the ones that got me going! Good luck!

PepeLePew · 15/01/2014 13:00

Death in Vegas - Aisha. Quite alarming, makes me run really fast if it's dark!
Stronger - Kanye West. I defy anyone not to hear this and want to go faster.
There's a great song called Heat Lightning by Icky Blossoms which I hadn't heard until a friend made me a running playlist which gets me moving.

Agree with Chemical Brothers, Swedish House Mafia and Calvin Harris though I'm not usually a dance music fan.

wundawoman · 15/01/2014 06:57

Bohemian like you - The Dandy Warhols !!!!

Mumraathenoisylion · 15/01/2014 06:45

Kasabian - most songs, particularly underdog
Prodigy
Pendulum
Rudimental - not giving in (and others)
Pussycat dolls - jai ho Smile

conquita · 15/01/2014 06:38

Oasis - The Hindu Times, Supersonic, Columbia
Madonna - I'm Addicted, Jump
Chemical Brothers - Hey Boy Hey Girl
Supergrass - Tales of Endurance
Stereo MCs - Connected

These songs generally keep me perked up (more than 5 though....)

TwelveLeggedWalk · 14/01/2014 23:31

I have got Calvin Harris' latest and the Swedish House Mafia albumn on a loop at the moment, depending on whether I'm feeling like a cheerful bouncy run or an angry, pounding the pavements run!

I like the continuous mix versions of the album so I don't notice when one song stops and then think about stopping myself!

Giong to check some of these suggestions out too.

HugAndRoll · 14/01/2014 21:15

This is war & kings and queens, both 30 seconds to mars.
Anything pendulum or chase and status.
Most rock music for the strong beat.

BettyOff · 14/01/2014 21:11

Maximo Park (especially Our Velocity & Girls who play guitars) and most of the Foo Fighters back catalogue.

StrawberryMojito · 14/01/2014 21:05

Numb/Encore-Linkin Park & Jay-Z
Paper Planes - M.I.A
Shake it Out-Florence and the Machine
Mr Brightside - The Killers
Set you free - N-trance

YourMotherChucksRocksInHull · 14/01/2014 20:55

Flor Rida - club can't even handle me for the last 1k Smile

Lavenderhoney · 14/01/2014 20:54

The killers for me too:) and snow patrol. I sing along as well:)

applejelly · 14/01/2014 20:47

Love the idea of running to Coldplay Fix you and Daft Punk.

My 2 faves are Paint it Black by the Rolling Stones & Cowboy Take me Away by Dixie Chicks - first one I'm practically air-guitaring as I run, and second one I'm away in a cowboy fantasy land... nice.

fackinell · 14/01/2014 20:22

Lee Cabrera 'Shake it.'
Daft Punk 'harder, better, faster, stronger.'
Calvin Harris 'Let's go,'
Avicci 'I could be the one.'
Pretty much anything off the Ministry of Sound Trance anthems.

I Bloody love Dance music.
I just fast walk though, sciatica and asthma. These make me shift though,
