Confession: I have an awesome MP3 player that doesn’t have ONE SONG on it.  I’ve had it for a few years and all I really listen to is audiobooks.  I’m really a nerd that pretends to be a cool guy :-)

The thing is, though, an audio book from my favorite author, no matter how well-read, can’t really get me pumped up before a high pressure moment.  I have my MP3 player charged up and ready to download 10 tracks that are high energy, get ready for war type of songs.  Help me with some good suggestions.

What song always gets you amped?

I like Misty Edwards and Rick Pino…some crazy different worship leaders, but also very strong and deep.

Burn for You by Toby Mac

OK, this is totally different but it has lots of energy: Firebird by Stravinsky. No words, not Christian, just classical music.

Above Every Other Name by Justin Rizzo is absolutely amazing. Makes me want to jump up and down EVERY TIME.

Talib Kweli – "Move Somethin'" (perhaps the bleeped version? heh)

10 Teddy Winter 04.30.09 at 10:53 pm

Drown in the Now by Crystal Method and Matisyahu. Plus it's free at drowninthenow.com. Should get you amped sufficiently.

11 John Richards 04.30.09 at 11:07 pm

I concur w/ the brother from earlier. Dre Murray's "My Lane"=sick!!!!!

2pac "Violent". I've never heard it edited but I think I'd rather not.
Really i would suggest to all a track from an old Common Sense with prior to Knarls Barkley Cee-lo that speaks universal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZNnA3vy_2k
