GTFU Songs

I'm still sick. My sore throat moved on, thankfully, leaving me with watery eyes and a faucet nose. Gross. I was well enough to go to work on Monday and get some stuff done, but I ended up taking an MCF Half Day™, which meant that I left shortly after 5 and skipped the gym entirely. A two hour nap before my shows helped, and now I just have some aches and mild congestion. I hate not being 100%, and every day I skip the gym and “feed my cold” is a day I undo any progress I've made on the weight loss front. I find cardio is a good idea when I feel a cold coming on, and sometimes getting the heart pumping helps me knock it out before it hits me. But once I am sick and in a weakened state, exercise would only make things worse, and possibly lead to some respiratory problems.

I had wanted to build off of Krispy's Evergreen Hits idea at some point, and go through the songs that I'll never tire of. In a way, the following songs do fit that description. But there are plenty of slower tracks that I can also listen to over and over, and these are more specifically the ones that will get me the **** up and get me moving. I need inspiration, motivation, revolution, and a sloth solution. I need to hear this music right NOW to jump start my POW.
