    I have a varied number of songs on mine. I usually end up listening to some of the songs and music from the Rocky IV soundtrack. My runs, so far have all been on pavements so I feel safe enough.

    I got a current love for Alphabeat when I'm running - 10,000 nights is the best running song ever!

    Ooo I can feel a 'name your best running song' afternoon coming over us...

    I booked Alphabeat on various flights and trains before they got well known. I like them too.

    Alphabeat can sing but they'll never win any dancing competitions! :p

    Wow Hobsch I'm in awe - v cool, I do love them!

    jinky if you like AC/DC Alphabeat might be up your alley - they have this 80s retro pop sound (I always think of 'Fantastic 6' as a 'disney on drugs' song)...

    I like Pink too (in fact I like most music)... the one Split Personality is my favourite and they used it in Princess Diaries - yeah!!!
