Good Album to run to?

No Code is not a good album to run to I found out this morning, Versus is an excellent album to run to, 10 is off and on as is Yield. I listen to a few songs on Lost Dogs over and over and over. Any runners out there listen to an entire Pearl Jam album running? What's your favorite PJ album to run to?

    not sure how this will go over, but i went on a bike ride the other day and listened to my Bluegrass playlist on my iPod. its a bunch of Bluegrass Tributes to Pink Floyd, Phish and the Greatful Dead... it was great no words, and some fantastic guitar, banjo, precussion, it really is good to run walk or bike to, really puts a spring in your step
    peace

    Funny you mention this :)

    I have an Ipod, which is usually set on the shuffle feature. So, I could not tell you an "album" I love to run to, but definitely certain songs make me push the up arrow on the threadmill over and over. I may have reached ridiculous speeds with Corduroy, RVM, Leash, RITFW, MFC.
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    Riot Act is pretty good I have found.

    I run to it. Best songs of all of them are Go, Hail, Hail, Ghost, Lukin, DTE and Brain of J.

    Personally, I'd rather run with some techno going on, but that's just me.

    I just bought Fat Boy Slim's "Rockafellar Skank" for running, as well as Pat Benatar's greatest hits.

    it's mostly rap and rage (against the machine) for me. a couple standout pearl jam work out songs: gods dice and leatherman.

    Yesterday I ran the longest distance I've run in over 2 years. I've ran this distance 2 times before and yesterday was the time I felt really strong afterwards. The other two times I felt tired. I ran to Riot Act the entire time. The only difficult song because of the speed was "Thumbing My Way." I took a friend's suggestion and sang during it. Also, the song reminds me of one of my dead grandfathers so I had an imaginary conversation with him-one sided of course :-). "ARC" is an absolutely beautiful song.

    As a treat to myself I'm buying an Ipod shuffle. Now, I need suggestions for songs. Could you list your top three running songs? I'm going to use the Ipod when I run in St. Johns Newfoundland later this month. I'll be there for the Pearl Jam concert. I saw pictures of St. Johns and it looks hilly. I want to run up hills like I want a root canal so I need VERY good songs to run to. Any other suggestions besides the ones already listed in this thread?
