Music to watch roads by
Both myself and John are likely to be on the road quite a long while. John will likely take somewhere between 5 and 6 hours to do it while I'll be out there for about 7 hours, possibly more.
To keep my mind off the pain I'll be bringing an iPod along and want you guys to recommend some tracks for me to listen to that might be in some way good for passing the time.
They might be intense, bombastic, cheesy as hell or they might just have a damned good beat. Whatever the reason I'm open to all suggestions. So please post a comment and recommend a tune, or two, or even ten.
Here's a small sample of tunes that I've already stuck on because I reckon they're good alternatives to thinking about veins bulging from my calves.
Rocky Theme - Bill Conti
Anything for Love - Meatloaf
All over the world - ELO
Rappers Delight - Sugarhill Gang
James Bond Theme - Moby
Now it's your turn to post your recommendations.

Stop stealing ideas from potential American presidents Emmet.
Any similarities between the StigPod and the DoddPod are purely coincidental.
It has to "Hips Don't Lie"...break up your run/walk with a little bit of salsa...if nothing else it will make the crowd laugh...
Has to be Rocky. Or Riverdance. Trouble with Meatloaf is that the opening reef will still be playing by the time you finish the 26mile
Riverdance would be an interesting one. Will add that and Shakira (for the sheer hilarity) to the list.
Given how slow I am, the 12 minutes version of 'Anything for Love' will probably not even last a full mile.
Gotta be the U2 cover of the Mission Impossible theme. .
I get knocked down but i get up again by Chumba Wumba. o and I'm a Barbie Girl in a Barbie world - another winner. but then it's not about the winning, it's about the taking part.
I suggest Lux Aeterna, butched up version on a loop, or possibly Wagner's The Ride of the Valkyries...
Sir you run the risk of me randomly engaging in heroic combat with people whilst either yelling SPARTA or informing Persians that we'll fight in the shade.
When I started running again two years ago I kept listening to "The People Are The Heroes Now" from John Adams' "nixon in china" (It's on a compilation called "Maximum Minimalists") which filled me with the necessary patriotic devotion to seizing the means of production from bourgeois car manufacturers. Or something.
Underworld's "Second Toughest In the Infants" also would be perfect...
AC/DC - Highway to Hell
Springsteen - Born to Run
Van Halen - Runnin with the Devil
A few songs have been recommended to me in the past couple of days:
Don't stop believing - Journey
Here I go again - Whitesnake
Panama - Van Halen
My road trip collection is available to you.
However, can I suggest:
I Drove all Night
I think we're Alone Now
Highwayman
The theme from the Bis Éireann ad
Rockin' all over the world
The Road to Nowhere
Eye of the Tiger
Heavenly Heartbeat
These shoes are made for walkin'
Can I sugget the following:
I Drove All Night
The Road to Nowhere
Heavenly Heartbeat
I think we're alone now
The theme from the Bus Éireann ad
Eye of the Tiger
These Shoes were made for Walkin'
The Highwayman
I've been Everywhere
Some of these are on my pc if you want them
