This! And "Lose Yourself" both get me going. Plus, for some reason, "Jesus Walks" by Kanye.

Not necessarily recent music but some of my favs are:

Proclaimers - I'm Gonna Be 500 Miles, Spice Girls - Wannabe, Lady Gaga - Just Dance, Love Game, and Poker Face, Beyonce - Single Ladies, Footloose, Ghetto Superstar, Michael Jackson - Beat It, Billie Jean, and several Eminem and Black Eyed Peas songs.

I also look for remixes of these songs.  I use Fitness/Shape/Prevention mags for inspiration for songs to use for running.

All time favorite Eye of the Tiger by band Survivor. But it?s most known for Rocky Balboa. I loved the movie and I love the song and I love Sylvester Stallone.

when I jog, my fave is Uprising by Muse. I think the beat is great

As a few others have mentioned, "Lose Yourself" (Eminem) and "Eye of the Tiger" (Survivor) are up there on my list.  I find that most Sean Paul songs get me going too.  Lately, my "go to" songs have been "Paint it Black" (Rolling Stones) and the remake of Michael Jackson's "Beat It" (Fall Out Boy).  

Thanks to the rest of you for some new running song suggestions!!

Dog Days of Summer by Florence + The Machine. I always save it for the end.

I loooove "If I Had You" by Adam Lambert!  I always sprint during the chorus.  I'm training for a 15K, and this always gets me going.

I like to keep it old school: 

Dancing With Myself (Billy Idol)

Humpty Dance (Digital Underground)

And this is kind of obscure, but if I'm really struggling, I always play that "You're the Best Around" song from the Karate Kid. Super cheesy, but it makes me laugh.

Jesus Walks- Kanye West

Run This Town- Jay Z

Untouched- Veronicas

Pump It- BEP

All The Things I've Done- The Killers (this one is almost exactly 5 min, so it is usually #1 for me)
