These are my 3 faves:
*You Are My Destiny-Jai Ho -A. R. Rahman & The Pussycat Dolls
*Untouched- The Veronicas
*Viva La Vida-Coldplay
"Let's get it Started" Black Eyed Peas. Its my power song on Nike+ and always makes me Goooooo!
ReplyDeleteOh good song! I'll have to get that. I really like "Where the streets have no name" by U2 lately.

Any playlist for Crazy Steph MUST include Steppenwolf's "Born To Be Wild"! It so fits her that I suspect she was conceived while this song was playing. George Thorogood & The Destroyers' "Bad To The Bone" also cones to mind.
ReplyDeleteSince you're still practically a teen, you might like "Phonography" by Britney Spears. My current 10K PR was set listening to this song only in a continuous loop!
"Get your motor runnin'
ReplyDeleteHead out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space"
I too like Ricky Martin's "Cup of Life." Other favorites would include:
ReplyDelete- La Camisa Negra -Juanes
- Dirty Dancing - New Kids on the Block
-Poker Face - Lady GaGa
and, oddly enough,
-The Phantom of the Opera -Sarah Brightman
Devil went down to GA
ReplyDeleteMine is "bad reputation" by Joan Jett. It's super fast tempo and her awesome rocker chick voice get me all pumped!
ReplyDelete(Glad you found my blog cause now I found yours!)
It Feels So Good by Sonique
ReplyDelete- great tempo, great bpm, great lyrics
- beautiful voice
- Sonique is older than Steph
- it hit #1 on U.S. Dance Chart during Steph's lifetime (OK, she WAS teething, but at least she was alive in 2000)
"Our love it feels so good, and that's what takes me high
Higher than I've been before and your love, it keeps me alive
Thought I should let you know, that your touch it means so much
When I'm alone at night, it's you I'm always thinkin' of, ooh ooh baby
Springsteen's Born to Run HAS to make the list!
