Tonight I decided that “Gonna Fly Now” (the theme from Rocky) is the greatest work-out song of all-time. “Song 2” by Blur is a close second. I also concluded that you shouldn’t try to work out to anything by Jack Johnson. Or Loudon Wainwright III.

My favorite song these days is “Reckoner” from the new Radiohead album In Rainbows. Radiohead has always been kind of hit or miss for me. Sure, I liked “High and Dry”, but some of their more experimental stuff is just weird. Call me crazy, but I never understood the “brilliance” of Kid A. But this album has a great sound. You can stream it here to see if you like it. Be sure to check out “Weird Fishes / Arpeggi” as well.
