Anyone got suggustions for easy listening ,good beat for running songs. I'm trying to make a playlist to run to but can only think of one song.V boring.Can anyone please help me. Anything but dance music would be great
Kind of generic, but I like music from the Rocky soundtracks, i.e. Eye of the Tiger. And the Karate Kid song - You're the Best by Joe Esposito.
Those are the only songs besides old hip hop and dance/trance on my running playlist I think. Most easy listening stuff have too low BPMs or energy levels for me.
These are some of the songs on my running playlist, some of them are old but most of them are pretty new. I also downloaded one of the Nike workouts from Itunes and it is pretty good. If you have itunes you should type in running mixes in the search, you can find some good ones!!
1. Girlfriend, Avril Lavigne
2. 4ever, The Veronicas
3. Gives You Hell, All American Rejects
4. Womanizer, Brittany Spears
5. Viva La Vida, Coldplay
6. Numb/Encore, Jay-Z & Linkin Park
7. Stronger, Kanye West
8. I kissed a Girl, Katie Perry
9. The Bad Touch, Bloodhound Gang
10. So What!, Pink
11. Just Dance, Lady Gaga
12. Jump, Van Halen
love it. thanks a million

3. Beating My Heart by Jon McLaughlin
4. Better Than This by Keane
5. Can't Stop by Maroon 5
6. The Distance by Cake
7. Believe by The Bravery
