Thru-hike playlist

[kk1dot3]

I am leaning towards not bringing an mp3 player with me, however if I decide to bring one or have one sent to me later on in my hike I wanted to have a playlist set up. Here's what I have already set up and I'm looking for suggestions on similar artists/songs/genre. Most of these songs I've come across have been from other thru-hikers and just put me in the mood to hike.


Guaranteed - Eddie Vedder
Society - Eddie Vedder
Cosmic Love - Florence + The Machine
Shake It Out - Florence + The Machine
Dog Days Are Over - Florence + The Machine
Worn Out Shoes - Joe Purdy
Cold Feet - Tracy Chapman
Wagon Wheel - Old Crow Medicine Show

Mountain Jam, Allman Brothers Band

Just part of my hiking listening, though I've never been a thru hiker. Most of these are nothing like the songs you have listed, but I find that having a high energy song on up a tough hill or at the end of the day really helps me stay moving.

Hill Songs
My Body- Young the Giant
Do What You Want - OK Go
Here it Goes Again - OK Go
Get Over It - OK Go
I Hate Everything About You - Three Days Grace (for those really hard hills)
Falling On - Finger Eleven

Other
Dare You To Move - Switchfoot
Times Like These - Foo Fighters
Learn to Fly - Foo Fighters
Take Me Home, Country Roads - John Denver

[Maren]

Great choices!
I am in love with the entire "O Brother, Where Art Thou" soundtrack for hiking. Even the sad songs are upbeat. Unfortunately, I can only harmonize in my imagination so I keep the singing there, as well.

CCR- Have you ever seen the rain?
Rolling Stones-Gimme shelter

Pretty much any set of 70-84 Grateful Dead or 93-00 Phish will put you in the right frame of mind!

Surprise Valley- Widespread Panic
Rambler Anthem- Yonder Mtn String Band

I plan to listen to this over the course of my "triple crown." The list will likely be at 10,000 songs by then.
