Top 5 songs that turn walking into swaggering

With the mean temperature hovering between 50º and 60º F (apologies to our Canadian readers – I don’t know how that translates to Celsius – let’s just say between -12º and 4,352º), it’s great weather to get outside and walk. I actually prefer walking to any other exercise – it’s almost like jogging, except you look happier doing it. But every once in a while, a song will come on the Ye Olde iPodde Shuffle that turns a sunny stroll into a swagger of gangsta-like proportions.

1. “Mama Said Knock You Out,” LL Cool J
As soon as I hear “Don’t call it a comeback!” I have to restrain myself from air-boxing.

2. “No Sleep Till Brooklyn,” Beastie Boys
I could actually walk to Brooklyn when this comes on.

3. “Lose Yourself,” Eminem
The least-offesnsive tune by Eminem, yet, I’ll always do that weird head-bob thing when I hear it.

4. “Mind On The Road,” Rev. Run
Rev. Run’s solo work recalls his early days with Run DMC that saw raw hip-hop infused with metal licks, thanks to producer of Rick Rubin. And dang, Run. Thanks to you, my mind is very much on the road.

5. “Stomp,” George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic
If this song doesn’t make you want to start dancing down the road, then you’re no friend of mine.

What turns your walk into a supergroovalisticexercisexplosion?

From the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame:

NEW YORK — The nominations for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum were announced today. The twelve nominees are: ABBA, Darlene Love, Donna Summer, Genesis, Jimmy Cliff, KISS, Laura Nyro, LL Cool J, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Chantels, The Hollies, and The Stooges. Ballots will be sent to more than 500 voters, who will select artists to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at the 25th Annual Induction Ceremony on March 15, 2010 at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City.

To be eligible for nomination into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, an act must have released its first single or album at least 25 years prior to the year of nomination. This year’s nominees had to release their first single no later than 1984.

Five of the twelve nominees will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The inductees will be announced in January 2010 and the induction ceremony will take place on March 15, 2010. All inductees are ultimately represented in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio. This fall the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will also host two unique blowout concerts to celebrate its 25 anniversary at Madison Square Garden on October 29th and 30th.
