I'm stuck trying to make a decent playlist to wake up to everymorning, i'm very willing to accept different suggestions. I think the right kind of music needs to be both fast paced and happy (you need to start the day positively right?!) Thanks everybody!!

Hello ra1787 I have found that just about any music from the polka genre is just wonderful for helping one to wake up and get going in the morning. It's peppy and happy and just makes your feet dance in the sheets and ready to spring into action! Some other good songs are John Anderson's, "Black Sheep of the Family" and "Afternoon Delight" by the Starland Vocal Band. Peace. I love the world!!

when i was in college for some reason the country song "black sheep of the family" by john anderson (who also recorded "swingin'") woke me and my roomate up from the clock radio for months on end....it was horrible! but it made you want to get up and shut off the noisome racket!

For close to four years, I started my day with Avril Lavigne yelling 'Hey, hey, you, you, I don't like your girlfriend!" That's the song that played when my cell phone alarm went off. I got so attached to the song that I found it hard to wake up to any other song when my phone with the Avril song broke and I haven't had the chance to download it again. Finally I changed my wake-up song. It's now Maroon 5's This Love. Those aren't actually happy songs, but the beat energizes me somehow.

I'm repeating myself but I responded to a similar question with this ... Try something old school like Til the End of the Day by the Kinks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIc-RnqjwWA or All Day and All of the Night http://www.youtube.com/wa.... . Add in the song that started it all You Really Got Me.

Absolutely right... The day should always begin on a positive note and good songs help us do that... :-) Personally, I prefer to listen to Linkin' Park, Green Day, or Enrique, or EMINEM... These songs are fast and full of music. That kind of give an energy to be active for the day... Also, if there's a shadow on my mind (read depression), the shadowing clouds vanish too... It'd be different for you, most certainly; because everyone has their own way to get energy....

I'd suggest: Move along by the All American Rejects; I'll be here Awhile by 311; Island in the Sun by Weezer. That's only few of my suggestions. You should try it.

Yes, i too like to listening to trance and happy music in the morning, it can boost my spirit. If I listened to melow or sad song it might ruin my mood, and make me sleepy and I dont feel like to do my activity. I like listening to Tiesto, it make my day and give me positive energy to start my activity. I do listen songs from my favorite bands like muse and also nelly furtado's songs.

I love the song "Handlebars" by Flobots. It is a very empowering song. Staring off slow, then gaining speed, than finally at its full throttle. I feel like i can do anything I set my mid to when I listen to this song. I wake up to this song everyday and it sets the mood for my day. The tone is " If I can think of it, then there is way to get it done".
