I don't run to music - I'd rather relax and enjoy the music on its own.
Needless to say, I usually have something upbeat on in the car as I drive to the club - I like scaring the grannies at the local bowling club, as I drive by listening to Zyklon or something similar.
Debz, If you have a rummage round for some earlier threads, you'll find that this subject comes up quite often. Check out "This Week's Top 5 Tunes" on the "Off Topic" forum...
Enter Shikari, Biffy Clyro, Rancid, Paramore The Ramones Wolfmother, Prodigy and of course some Ozzy! All help me on my way. I do find that I only listen properly when I need a kick, otherwise it is just there. Helps keep the name calling out though.
