The Essential 50 Song I-Pod List for Walking to Work

With these songs in your I-Pod, walking to work will be a pleasure rather than a chore.

1. Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody.
Why? Because it’s ridiculous, totally over-the-top, and the anthem of the greatest film of our time: Wayne’s World. Plus, there’s no greater song to rock out to while you’re getting psyched for that big, important business meeting.
2. Regina Spektor - On The Radio
Quite simply: fun and beautiful. A perfect light, catchy song for a spring morning stroll.
3. Obadiah Parker - Hey Ya
Possibly the most underrated cover of our time. Parker covers OutKast’s “Hey Ya” with contagious enthusiasm in a stirring arrangement that will leave anyone smiling.
4. Tool - 10,000 Days album
You will never have enough rock in your life, not even after listening to 10,000 Days at an ear-splitting level, on loop, for a week straight. Which you should do, immediately.
5. Stars - Ageless Beauty
After settling down after your rockfest, check out Stars, an awesome guy-girl duo with unique, clean voices, and killer harmonies.
6. Speaking of killer. Listen to the Killers‘ Hot Fuss, right now.
Do yourself a favor and listen to Smile Like You Mean It. That’s some classic pop, right there. We dare you not to smile while listening to Brandon Flowers croon.
7. Sigur Ros
After you storm out of the office and need to repress the urge to murder your boss, chill out to this Icelandic miracle band. Don’t try to decipher the lyrics, though. The guys made up their own language. Far-out.
8. Band of Horses - Is There a Ghost
Beautiful, meditative, and fresh out of Seattle, Band of Horses lulls the listener into a happy stupor right before they seriously (and surprisingly) rock out.
9. Dave Matthews - Dream Girl
Okay, so DMB got appropriated by fraternities and sororities, but that doesn’t mean they’re not still an awesome band. If this song doesn’t get you dancing on your way to work, nothing will.
10. Death Cab for Cutie - I Will Follow You Into the Dark
If an office romance is in the works, listen to this moving tribute to naïve, new love.
11. Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova - When Your Minds Made Up
Everyone remembers the song “Falling Slowly” from the surprise smash-hit film “Once,” but few remember this one, arguably the more spirited jam of the two. Much can be said about the quality of the vocals and instrument layering, but let’s put this one simply: this song is great.
12. Guster - C’mon
Guster, one of the most overlooked pop bands of all time, have been around since dinosaurs walked the earth, and in their new album “Ganging Up on the Sun,” they returned in a big, catchy way. Even on the dreariest, rainy day, this song will carry you on Cloud Nine to your job.
13. The Moldy Peaches - Anyone Else but You
Though the film “Juno” bumped this one onto everyone’s radar, the Moldy Peaches have been gracing indie record stores with their simple, sing-song style and endearing unpresumptuous music for years.
14. The National - Fake Empire
The second you hear the dude’s voice from The National, you think, “Oh yeah. This is going to be good.” And it is. So good. Let this anthem be your armor against the tedium of modern living.
15. The New Pornographers - My Rights Versus Yours
Canada’s super band, New Pornographers, are back in their latest album, “Challengers.” Rich, gorgeous, and compelling as ever, these stalwart rockers effortlessly fill another album with guaranteed good times.
16. Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars
Sure, it got played way too much on the radio, but now that the hype from Grey’s Anatomy has died down, it’s time to revisit this beautiful ballad. Don’t be afraid. This one is sure to make your heart swell with joy.
17. U2 - One
You may feel like you’re trapped in a promotional commercial for the Olympics, but no one can deny Bono’s power of rock. Bono defies you to feel uninspired during your trek to work when you listen to this anthem of harmony and brotherhood.
18. Andrew Bird - Fake Palindromes
