I find Elgar's Pomp and Circumstances extremely motivational. His harmonic structures are richly diverse, sometimes chromatic at others touchingly diatonic.

1. Eye of the Tiger from Rocky
2. The Final Countdown from Arrested Development
3. Trance, Prodigy
4. Lose Yourself-Eminem
5. Do you hear the people sing - Les Miserables
6. Piano Man - Billy Joel
7. Bittersweet symphony - The verve pipe
8. I believe - Yolanda Adams

Actually most drum and bass / hardcore tracks get me pumped to do something. I listen to stuff like that before I go running. If you aren't familiar with electronic music, these are songs with a very fast BPM I'm talking about here. Like, twice as fast as the music you probably listen to (unless you like jazz or something like that). I wish I could listen to it while I was running, but I find it hard to beat-breathe when I've got music playing in the background.

hate to burst the bubble but music doesnt motivate - having studies motivation for years that was a definate conclusion - ac/dc versus the spice girls will equally not motivate- the best motivator of the lot is silence and reflection - the best motivation i have ever witness is little more than whispering in a silent changing room - raoring like a bull does nothing absolutely nothing it produces movement but that isnt motivation. some good tunes but totally a waste of time with regards motivation
