Gunner tagged me with a music meme last week. Things have been a bit crazy here, so I'm just now getting around to answering it.

Here's the game: What are your top three songs to listen to whilst running? And if you have the server space, will you post one or all of them for the rest of us to download? (If running is not your preferred method of exercise – which more or less guarantees your intelligence – well, songs that you would listen to are just fine.)

I usually don't listen to music while doing my nightly walk/run with the dog. I like to talk to him, and my suburban neighborhood straddles a creek and is covered with trees, so the nighttime chorus of toads and crickets makes a great soundtrack.

I do frequently listen to music while (whilst?) mowing the lawn, and my current favorites are:

• "Tarkus" - Emerson, Lake, and Palmer (esp. the live version of the movement "Aquatarkus" on Welcome Back My Friends to the Show That Never Ends, Ladies and Gentlemen...)


• "Astradyne" - Ultravox (from Vienna)


• "La Villa Strangiato" - Rush (again, the live version, from Exit Stage Left)

I have to say, though, that I have several mix CDs I listen to during yardwork, so this list would definitely change from week to week.
