Read the text below me before you post mmkay?

Alright here's the situation; I recently started using my computer as an alarm, ie it turns itself on and starts to play a media file when it's time for me to wake up.

At first I used a random file from my music folder but after a couple of awkward morning when I woke up with my family or roomates staring at me while some weird music played in the background, such as the Power Rangers theme or Lady GaGa, I decided to create an "Alarm Playlist".

What I'm looking for are awesome songs that will make you feel like jumping out of your bed shouting "[censored] YEAH!" while performing an air guitar solo. Basically, a song that will make you feel like this will be a good day.

I haven't really given it much thought but I already have a few songs:

Carry On Wayward Son - Kansas
You Give Love A Bad Name - Bon Jovi
Rock You Like A Hurricane - Scorpions
Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin
Heat of the Moment - Asia
http://youtu.be/HgzGwKwLmgM

it doesn't have to be a classic rock song, I also have stuff like

I feel Good - James Brown
All Star - Smash Mouth

You Give Love A Bad Name - Bon Jovi
Rock You Like A Hurricane - Scorpions

can't believe I forgot that :facepalm:

How about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUKOFTJj0GE?

I don't know if you're into rap, but "I'm On One" by DJ Khaled, Drake, Rick Ross, and Weezy is a great song.

If you're not into rap, the second best thing I can offer is "Lost" by Avenged Sevenfold.

Aside from CCR and Buffalo Springfield, I don't listen to older rock.

I listen to rap, and I think that DJ Khaled is [censored] awesome, but that song doesn't really work in this situation since it's not energetic enough. If you know what I mean. :/

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3jnN6tx9F4 perhaps?

I <3 Justice :drool:

but I don't think those songs fit because they take too long to start

well Waters of Nazareth could work, I'll keep it in mind.


Too loud

Stemming off of this post, I'd suggest Kings and Queens as well.

Foreplay/Longtime - Boston

Shake Me Down - Cage the Elephant

If I want to wake up i just play a song I like really load so that it'll both wake me up and make me want to continue listening.

So you want a song that makes you want to get up and go but isn't too loud, eh? Hmm, lemme think on this.

Such a great song to wake up to.

You could also try http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiUVusXTf38

Turns out that last link wasn't the full version.

Again, all great songs, but they are too loud and they are not happy enough, do you know what I mean? Like when You Give Love A Bad Name started playing this morning, I woke up with a smile and I wanted to walk through the house in my boxers, singing along every word



:meh: I want a loud song, but it also has to be energetic, like the songs I listed in the OP

On that note: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SKFwtgUJHs

:goodjob: on the first one

I'll add Ain't No Rest For the Wicked by Cage the Elephant to the list I never really liked Shake Me Down

Definately check out Tiny Little Robots by Cage the Elephant as well if you want a good high-energy song, I love it :wub:

Derezzed by Daft Punk would do the trick, I reckon.

There ain't no rest for the wicked, money don't grow on trees... :whistling:

Aerosmith - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwLzIPkrQIE

Ok Go - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAU4qVUKPG8

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2S1I_ien6A No guitars, but will make you get up and swing to the awesome beat.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zmX6_ujBN0 Has some of the best guitar solos of all time by Larry Carlton. Amazing, pure, and a mix of Jazz and Rock, its perfect.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn_qB8bPnNs&feature=related Another great guitar solo by Larry Carlton.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjPqsDU0j2I is a great song to wake up to.

I think I have one you might like. It's got energy. "Solidarity" by Enter Shikari.

The beginning will wake you up and make you want to rave.

Muse - Bliss (I don't know how I make my text to be a link) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMqsWc8muj8&ob=av2e

They often name Freddy Mercury as an inspiration and the song I linked is one favourite by them.

Ooh! I listen to that song to wake up. I wonder why it didn't cross my mind.
