    Joy Division.......everything by them

    To run? I like Joy Division a lot, but seriously their music is more appropriate for running straight to your suicide ;). Besides, they merely made it through 1980

    Hmmm, 80's music: Livin' on a Prayer - Bon Jovi, Pretty in Pink - Psichodelic Furs, Journey - Don't Stop Believing, B-52's - My Own Private Idaho...

    Ahh the memories, so many lousy songs I danced as a teenager :)

    So would I. Filler is the greatest hardcore track ever.

    work out to Back In Black sometimes.

    actually, it's my favorite 80's album and in my top ten of all time.

    'Knockin' me out with those American thighs
    Taking more than her share
    Had me fighting for air
    She told me to come but I was already there'
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    ahhhhhh the 80s...........:p
    i'd say b-52s!
    also, don't know about 'upbeat'...but i completely loved new order and the psychedelic furs, good tempos i should think for running......really so much of the 80s would be great for that. :)

    Need go running tunes. Any suggestions from songs that were released during the 80s? That decade was just sooooooo gooooood. Think MTV before Real World.

    Pat Benatar's Love is a Battlefield
    Don Henley's Boys of Summer

    among others. What else would you recommend? Brings back good spirited-energy moments?

    In my opinion and musically speaking, this is the worst decade ever...it´s ok if you like bizarre things, but it really sucked.I mean, there were cool bands, but their were the less.

    You need some Survivor in there. Anything from a Rocky Movie will do.
    Icehouse - "Crazy"
    Dead or Alive - "You Spin Me Round"
    Loverboy - there are many possibilities. I suggest "Turn Me Loose" or "The Kid Is Hot Tonite."


    And then you have loads of hair metal to choose from.
    It is time to admit that we used to rock like hurricanes. It is time to run for the hills and go round and round. It is time for us to shout at the devil. We've got the right to choose it, there ain't no way we'll lose it, and we're not gonna take it anymore.

    You've got what? How about some Bow Wow Wow - I want candy? Would that help?
