A little help flist?

[sparrow015]

Yes Flist, I am asking for your help!

What kind of help you may ask! Well, recently, very recently, so recent it was last night, I joined Weight Watchers. Huzzah!

And the program encourages you to be active. So I thought I'd start walking or go to a free skate at a local rink. Something like that.

Now, the help I'm asking from you is, what kind of music do you listen to that makes you get up and get going? What kind makes you dance hard? Or even what kind of music you exercise to!

If you have a few songs like this, please, please list them in a comment.

Thanks everyone!

Loud, hard rock, like AC/DC

Any songs in particular?

[tygermama.livejournal.com]

TNT, Big Balls, Decibel, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Thunderstruck, etc

Lately, it's been Santana's "Into the Night", the Who's "Pictures of Lily", Huey Lewis and the News's "It's All Right".

For walking, or if you want a consisten theme, put on "Who's Next" the extended version and play it all the way through. You'll find plenty of slower songs at just the right intervals to get you calmed down enough to work out again.

I see Huey Lewis and the News up there, but for reason I'm hearing The Beatles Twist and Shout in my head. lol

Thanks for the suggestions En! Want to get a big list going so I can play around with songs and playlists. :)

Irish Jig stuff and Techno.

Irish Jig stuff is good! My old standby for that kinda thing is Home for a Rest by Sprit of the West and 500 Miles (I'm Gonna Be) by The Proclaimers. Got any groups to reccomend? Besides Flogging Molly. ;)

Techno, eh? Maybe it's time to break out the old DDR songs I have...

I actually went over to look at my music before typing this. XD Some days I feel like such a geek.

I love swing for lively music. I have an album by John Barrowman - Swings Cole Porter - that I like using. Also love the Dukes of Dixieland (circa 1950).

Creedence Clearwater Revival is good, especially their album 'Willy and the Poor Boys'. I mean, who doesn't want to dance crazy to Down on the Corner? (Well, probably lots of people, but we'll just ignore that little fact, eh?)

The Clancy Brothers work well for Irish folk. And I'm partial to groups like The Beach Boys and Jan and Dean.

I like putting on the Herman's Hermits when I just need something fun and lively. Songs like I'm Into Something Good and Sea Cruise. Actually, a lot of that sort of early 60s rock works well.

Eep. Kind of went on. Sorry about that! Hope it was at least helpful.
