I am a fan of rock music. My "handle" of Protometal, which I still haven't quite phased out (you can call me Josh, just don't call me "late for dinner"!), refers to early heavy metal music, such as Black Sabbath and Budgie. With that established, I present the first version of the Running / Speed Rock Playlist.
The songs on this playlist seem to fall into one of a few categories. They include the following:
1. Songs which have "Run", "Running", "Runnin'" in the title, such as "Runnin' Down a Dream" by Tom Petty.
2. Songs which reference "fast" or "speed", such as "Too Fast for Love" by Motley Crue.
3. Songs which are actually about running, like "Marathon" by Rush.
4. Songs about perseverance, such as "Fight to the Finish" by Gamma (RIP Ronnie Montrose).
5. Songs about Detroit, 'cause that's where I live, approximately.
6. Songs about victory or winning, i.e. "Victory" by Megadeth.
7. Songs which are "defiant" or show "aggression", including "I Shoot Back" by Ted Nugent.
8. Songs that are really about speeding cars or trains chugging along (there are more than you would think). I guess I equate a train rolling down a track with me rolling down a track. I have 3 versions of Train Kept a Rollin' (Aerosmith, Motorhead, Yardbirds) alone on here.
