I must heartily second Carmina Burada and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. When running, for me, it’s Monty Norman’s original James Bond Theme from Dr. No. How about John Williams overture for Superman? And Danny Elfman’s Batman Returns! And James Horner’s Escape from the Tavern from Willow. oh, and Wagner’s Flight of the Valkyrie. ---

Two lists, one of things already mentioned, the other ones not: [ul] [li]Wait and Bleed- Slipknot[/li][li]Immigrant Song- Led Zep[/li][li]Mars: Bringer of War- Holst[/li][li]Ride of the Valkyries- Wagner[/li][li]Iron Man- Black Sabbath[/li][/ul] The second list:[ul] [li]My Plague-Slipknot[/li][li]Faith- Limp Bizkit[/li][li]The Ecstacy of Gold- Ennio Moricone, I think it is. From _The Good, the Bad and the Ugly_ soundtrack[/li][li]Twin Sunset- I think that’s the name of it. The song playing in _Star Wars: A New Hope_ when Luke is outside of his house watching the sunsset (and yes, the double S is intentional. suns-set…sneaky!)[/li][li]For nearly an hour of invincibility, play _Master of Puppets_ really loud[/li][/ul] ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by moejuck \* > \*\*Pantera–Mouth for the War and Fucking Hostile. \*\* On that note I’ll add Pantera’s _Cowboys from Hell_. I would listen to it on my Discman all the time and would constantly feel the urge to challenge oncoming traffic. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Quack \* > Hey hey, **neutron star** , great Murphys song. Ever see the video for it? It’s pretty damn cool (though possibly not so if you have epilepsy :)). One I forgot to mention in my preveious post: Pogues - “The Battle March Medly.” That song makes me want to pick up a musket and _ **CHARGE** _! **verenabeast** - thanks! I like that song but I never knew who the artist was. Now I do. ---

I’m a big fan of rock and roll but going further back, John Philip Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever” can really stir things up. ---

I told him that his Transformers soundtrack got me interested in film scoring and composition back when I was in elementary school, and I’ve been a dabbler and a fan ever since. He signed my soundtrack CD and I shook his hand. Cool guy. Wish I coulda seen him and/or Stan Bush perform, though! ---
