Pregame Music

If you've ever been on a bus on the way to a sporting event, then you've probably observed that the majority of people these days listen to music before they go on the field for a game. Music has become an integral part of our society today and I, along with many of my friends, can't go a single day without having some time to just listen to music, even if it's while doing homework. I use music to get me pumped up before a lacrosse game all the time. I usually don't like to socialize on the bus, and when I put the earbuds in, it's sometimes pretty hard to get my attention because I'm thinking about what is coming while blasting all kinds of music. I have a playlist labeled "Pump-up Music" on my iPod that I usually shuffle through before games, but here are the songs that I always stop shuffling for:

Ghosts N Stuff - deadmau5
Power - Kanye West
Empire State of Mind (feat. Alicia Keys) - Jay-Z
Savior - Rise Against
'Till I Collapse - Eminem & Nate Dogg
Outta Your Mind (feat. LMFAO) - Lil Jon

Sing for the Moment - Eminem
Lose Yourself - Eminem
Run This Town (feat. Rihanna & Kanye West) - Jay-Z
Forever - Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne & Eminem
