Best Artists (To Run To)

I hesitate to name many full-length albums to run to--agree with Megan's comment that mixes are normally best--particularly after Chris outed the Killers' Hot Fuss. That being said, at the moment I've been listening to Kanye's latest, greatest, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. It would lose points in the important category of consistent beat despite beautifully...dark lulls, but if you don't mind skipping tracks (or just deleting the slow ones from your queue), it's fine.

In any event, among modern artists, Kanye has some good stuff to work with. I think Lady Gaga is probably the most consistent contemporary singer to run to. Other artists on my recent running playlist:

Blink-182

Arcade Fire

Daft Punk

Jay-Z

The Cars

Outkast

Led Zeppelin

The Ting Tings

Electric Light Orchestra

Michael Jackson

LCD Soundsystem
