I only found out about this song from Arrested Development. And, despite how hilariously bad the song/stage show is, I have it and listen to it quite often. When I was at Vegas, they had dueling pianos and that was the first song I requested. The guy did was hesitant, but it turned out to be enjoyed by almost everyone :laugh:

Some that definitely motivate me
Foo Fighters - Pretender
Foo Fighters - Come Alive
Foo Fighters - Come Back
Radiohead - Anyone Can Play Guitar
Radiohead - Stop Whispering
Supafuzz - I am the King
Supafuzz - Shut Up
Supafuzz - Argue with God
Superman - Intro (Yes, THAT song)
 
I veto almost every song that has been named here.

You really want them listed? I have a sneaking suspicion it involves Power Rangers theme song or Hannah Montana

Because only people like that would veto Foo Fighters and Radiohead

I agree those people are creeps.
 
Teen Titans theme song (in Japanese).

Hell to the yeah, baby.
 
I tried- Bone thugs n harmony
Don't wanna try - Frankie J

Two awesome pick up ups 😀

Um...
Shake it - metro station
Hey Ya - outkast
 
Nelly- Heart of a Champion
Eminem- Till I Collapse (Michael Phelps listens to this before he races)
Lil Wayne- I'm Me (Phelps also listens to this one)
 
It might be pretty cliche but "How To Save A Life" by The Fray is my favorite song to listen to for motivation. Every time the guys play in the OR while I am shadowing, it just makes me want to be in med school already.
 
Here are some of my favorites, even though they may already be listed:

Archie - We Ready
Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead or Alive
Springsteen - Born in the USA; Glory Days
Citizen Cope - Let the Drummer Kick That
Eminem - Lose Yourself
Europe - The Final Countdown
Fort Minor - Remember the Name
Guns n' Roses - Paradise City
House of Pain - Jump Around
Marilyn Manson - If I Was Your Vampire (Instrumental)
Metallica - Enter Sandman
Queen - We Will Rock You
Going the Distance (from the Rocky soundtrack)
Roy Jones Jr. - Can't Be Touched
Trick Daddy, Lil Jon - Let's Go
Chicago Bulls Theme Song (from the Jordan era)

Long list, I know. I suppose I need a lot of motivation. For the record, Lose Yourself is definitely the best as far as motivation goes

HAHA! alan parsons project! I saw these guys live. I think I was the only person under 30 years old at the venue :scared:. they didn't disappoint though, Sirius was just as epic as ever.
 
I vote for:

All My Friends by LCD Soundsystem
Da Funk by Daft Punk
The Purple Bottle by Animal Collective

but especially...

Is It Medicine by The Knife
