Their music is mostly boring to me, but that song gets me amped.

This is interesting; glad you posted this. Punk and hard rock songs don't work for me because they're usually too short and have no build or expectation of a climax--and the expectation is half of the "power," really. And I refuse to delve into prog territory while jogging, so I like "Yeah (Crass Version)" from the bonus disc on LCD Soundsystem's self-titled LP, though that disc's "Losing My Edge" also works.

Jawbox - Mirrorful
Shellac - Wingwalker ("Look at me! I'm a plane!")

But really who am I kidding? If I had Eye of the Tiger and the theme from Rocky I would probably stick to those two.

Of course! Abby, you're a genius. Although, I'm going to give "A Little Respect" a shot. The way the beat bounces in the chorus around the 2:!5 mark corresponds perfectly with my pace, usually. (I'm a running newbie, mind you. I'm still a little slow).

The guitar solo is magnificently wanking and energetic. Although, admittedly it is difficult to run thru spiderwebs and twirl at once, bro.

For working out LCD Soundsystem is actually pretty great, Nike knew what they were doing when they got em to do that workout CD


Indeed though, this is a very "Rolling Stone" or "Spin" question.
