The Great Big MFP Running Playlist

while out for my run last night i had a little thought that honestly i think is brilliant

i love music, i love finding new music and i love introducing other people to new music

the problem is i don't get a lot of time to sit and and do nothing except listen, this is why i love running, i gives me 30 minuets out of my day to zone out and enjoy music

so i thought to myself why not start a big community running playlist

I've started it off with what i think is a good selection of songs i like to run to, what i want to do is turn this into something massive we can all enjoy, i'm aware this could go horribly wrong and turn into a completely unusable mess but i still have a lot of faith in the internet so i counting on us all to help this reach its full potential

i want you guys to add your own favourite running song to it, any genre is fine as long as it's good to run to

at the moment the only rules i want to apply to it are

1. no repeats
2. no 20 minute epics
3. no Bieber
4. no hardcore speed metal or slow chilled phydubfunktrance (basically keep it at a decent pace)
5. don’t be a dick
6. don't add 100's of your own songs, just a few at a time will do
7. try not to add lots of songs by the same artist, variety is the key

    Totally love this! I love new music too, both sharing and discovering through others. Subscribed! You're already starting out great with some SMD, I'm a big fan.

    awesome i'm glad you're all adding stuff :)

    a nice varienty so far although we've had our first rule breaker, Damian Marly - Welcome to Jamrock got added twice, no doubt it's a quality tune but it's not that good :smiley:

    it's ok though, i'm pretty sure the offender also added Beastie Boys - Sabotage so all is forgiven

    we've reached 45 songs, this isn't the mammoth playlist i had envisioned

    anyone else want to get in on this?

    i'm just going to give this a bump because so far i've really enjoyed using this playlist for my runs, there's some really good new music on there that's great to run to

    i'd love to get some more people on board

    i'm only slightly embarrassed that the last 4 posts are mine

    I haven't used the playlist for running yet, but I've listened to most of it. Some good choices.

    Didn't see it when you first posted, but I added a few more songs from my workout list, and I'll be using this one too!

    Excellent work all :) i'm glad you're all adding to this

    can we try and add some lesser know music though, as much as It's Raining Men by Geri Halliwell is a monster of a tune i started this to try and find new exciting music :)

    Aw, I *like* working out to music I and a lot of other people are familiar with. I think the emotional connection or history I have with a song pumps me up, too.

    But I'll oblige you with something that should...respond to your concerns.

    ETA: Did I just admit I have an emotional connection to "It's Raining Men"? Yes, yes I did.
