Question of the weekI’m been working on (well in my head anyways) a motivational play list. Not a workout mix per se, but a mix of songs that all have meaning to me and let me reflect a bit.

Sue reminded me of this when she commented WAAAY back in November and yet I STILL haven’t finished it. So I’m hoping by asking, it will get my butt in gear. I’ll organize everyone recommendations (including my own) into an iTunes iMix in the next few weeks.

So this weeks question is…

What songs would you recommend for a “pick-me-up” mix?

    “Overkill” by Men At Work. Great beat and awesome self-reflective lyrics that can help move you out of any low spot.

    Go to http://www.Pandora.com when it asks you for an artist to start with type in Buddy Holly. You will get all kinds of oldies and goodies that are fun. Just listen to it for a few days and give a thumbs up to all the songs you like. Then later you can look at the list of songs you liked and BAM you have your new playlist.

    I love Pandora for this reason. I create all kinds of playlists by doing this. My most recent one is Buddy Holly but just pick an artist that you like or a style of music and you are ready to go.

    I love Kylie Minogue or her sister Danii. Both have great music to work out to.

    This is exactly the type of thing I am looking for when I found this while googling. I want to make a pick me up, kick butt CD for a friend that is battling Cancer. Other than the obvious, I Will Survive, she’s just dealing with getting through each day. Thanks for all the great ideas.
