Pump-up songs for Saturdays
Every year I make a CD of about 18 or so songs to listen to on the ride up to Ann Arbor. As the season is fast approaching, I have decided it is that time. This year I thought I would ask the MGOBLOG community for input. What are your favorite songs to listen to before games?

Party in the USA
We're not Penn State.

However, "Party and Bullshit in the USA" is a jam.
There is a guy smack in the center wearing a Michigan shirt.
Gotta have some Motley Crue. Kickstart my Heart always seems to do the trick.
....of these three rockin metal master pieces (even though Abbath could be the voice of Gollum if Gollum were to sing).

Phoenix - 1901
Man Man - Top Drawer
Pogues - The Body of an American
Kid Cudi - Heart of a Lion
This year it's going to be Lil Wayne (in honor of Denard).
Please Dont Go- KWS
Rythm-LaBouche
Coco Jumbo-Mr. President
Just Another Day-Jon Secada
for Jon Secada. Brilliant
The Bed Intruder Song
Being a Huntsville, AL native, I heartily agree.
We Ready - Archie
Good song, this always got me pumped up Friday night before our game.
Headstrong by Trapt...could be a good metaphor for our season.
Jedi Mind Tricks - Animal Rap
Babbys got back.
The title of the song is in the youtube clip, and you still managed to get it wrong.
Also, I hope this is a joke.
protip: "babby" is always a joke... unless you're on yahoo answers or Googling from Alaska.
It's a football game, not 1am at Rick's.
Drowning Pool Step Up,
Hit the lights Bodybag
I love Hit The Lights, though they were much better with their old lead singer.
Let's Go - Trick Daddy f. Lil Jon and Twista.
There is this great song that they play at the Big House every time that Michigan scores a touchdown. That usually pumps me up plenty. I would go with that one.
For some reason T.I. pumps me up so I play some of his stuff
Other notables:
No Love- Eminem and Lil Wayne
Power-Kanye West
Stronger-Kanye West
Drop the World, 3 Peat, The Sky is the Limit - Lil Wayne
Takeover, Run This Town, Public Service Announcement, Blueprint 2 - Jay-Z
Shining Down - Lupe Fiasco
And some Explosions in the Sky for good measure
I'm reluctant to say it, but Recovery might be Eminem's best album. The stuff that gets radio play is OK, but the rest is Eminem at his best.

Recovery is sick
I second that. Blueprint 2 is my favorite song to get myself pumped up. You can't go wrong with T.I either.
The Hell Song - Sum 41
Still Waiting - Sum 41
Come Out and Play - The Offsping
You're Gonna Go Far Kid - The Offspring
So Hard - Rhianna (guilty pleasure, can't help it)
Up All Night - Drake (low key but TONS of swagger)
Despicable - Eminem
No Love - Eminem
Mama Said Knock You Out - LL Cool J
Phenomenon - LL Cool J
Party Up - DMX
X Gon' Give It to Ya - DMX
One More Road to Cross - DMX
Where the Hood At - DMX
Aint Nuthin' to F*** With - Wu Tang Clan
Shook Ones Part 2 - Mobb Deep
How could I forget DMX? Add those songs to my list.
The whole 1st half of the MMB CD is a staple on game day.
Anything by Rage Against the Machine, with a good dose of Party in the USA mixed in.
Then ride of the Valkyries.
Wind Beneath My Wings - Bette Midler
Sailing - Christopher Cross
Greatest Love of All - Whitney Houston
Tick Tick Boom - The Hives
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
Absolutely anything by Godsmack, except their weird acoustic thing
Slippin' - DMX (for after a loss)
Last Resort - Papa Roach
Rep Yo City - 8 Ball (more of a high school song, probably)
Hell Yeah - Rev Theory
Kryptonite - 3 Doors Down
I Wanna Be Your Dog - Iggy Pop
Bring 'Em Out - T.I.
Rapture - Hurt
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
It's Barwis! Open up! Your rent is due... NOW!
One of my favorites, I guess Make Me Believe would be pretty good for this season, too.
I'm old. Most of the recommendations could've been posted in Sanksrit, and I'd recognize the same amount.
Rancid - Junkie Man.
Liking it, I'd add Self Esteem in there, too.
We Are The Champions and Another One Bites The Dust
Craig Roh - Fuck Shit Up
Sabbotage and Highplains Drifter.
Anything AC/DC, but preferably "Shoot to Thrill"
Also, "Sabotage" and "She's on It" by Beastie Boys
