Actually, I love Mr. Phil and company. The music is layered, complex, and ages so well. One day it just hit me that Phil must be trying to win the "Most Melancholy Musician" lifetime achievement award. I'm pretty sure he's got it wrapped up. Of course, Annie Lennox has already won the "Tragically Sad" grammy. Naturally, I enjoy 70s Genesis. Actually, I love Mr. Phil and company. The music is layered, complex, and ages so well.

(if you enjoy progressive) not sure about running to it, though. my favorite running music is steve vai and david bowie. i agree on avoiding phil collins at all costs, but have you tried 70’s genesis w/ peter gabriel on vocals and phil on drums? it is awesome!

On the other hand, I have found nearly anything by U2, Derek Trucks, or the Violent Femmes keeps me moving, especially with a few of Lyle Lovett's jazzier tunes sprinkled in. My all-time favorite, though, is a version of Battle Hymn of the Republic by 1960s jazz flutist Herbie Mann. At 7:14 long, it's the perfect tune to get you through your last mile at Kiawah.

Consider it something of an experiment in mental toughness. - Dean I think I’m actually going to run 10 miles at marathon pace to this mix.

By not running I am able to fully appreciate each song on that list. Yet another reason why not running is an excellent choice. By not running I am able to fully appreciate each song on that list.
