Music to wake up to

[Lord Nibbler]

I just got an iPod alarm clock, and I wanna make a playlist of songs that are good, will wake me up (i.e. that aren't too quiet) and that won't make me fall out of bed and break my neck.

All suggestions are welcome.

[Benji]

The Angels and Airwaves album wakes me up well.

[Guest Ringley Whitford]

The Ramones wake me up very well.

[fourstarfizzle]

Spiratulized - 'Ladies & Gentlemen, We're Floating In Space' is an excellent wake up tune.

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

Any songs you've heard a zillion times, even though they really aren't that good, and you're absolutely sick of hearing them. So when you do hear them, you're filled with a sense of pain and loathing which gets you out of bed to turn the alarm clock off.

That's why my radio alarm clock is set to a classic rock station. ^_^

2 Pac: To live and Die in L.A, thats a wicked tune.

[MDK]

Underworld - Born Slippy

[Rashid]

Couple days ago I woke up to Plus 44's debut album. It was nice to wake up to.

[Steeb]

I wake up to 'Sweetness' by Jimmy Eat World every morning.

It works really well and, I believe, has a positive effect on my mentality in the morning.

[Toe]

Cowboys From Hell.

[Dan]

The Angels and Airwaves album wakes me up well.

Same for me.

[Guest Tequilla Rockin' Bird]

Marvin Gaye - Sexual Healing

It's just the start, "Baaaaabbbyyyyy".

[Scruffy The Janitor]

Some europop or summat, up real loud. You jump to get to the alarm clock so everyone in the house doesn't think you have bad taste in music.

[sirdavinator]

The 12 Days Of Sodom by Agoraphobic Nosebleed. Always wakes me up immediately.

[Nerf]

Early Feeder. No pun intended.

Wake Up Boo by the Boo Radleys. Or Guiding Star by Cast simply for the intro. Very mid nineties schmindie but appropriate.

[YI]

"Leave Me Alone" by Razorlight

Works like a charm. Peaceful piano, then "BOOM" a sweet, exciting riff. It's like the start of a Season 1 OC episode.

Plus it's a song you can have a bit 'dance around' to.

Korn - Its On, Ya'll Want Another Single, Make Me Bad

[Big Tuna]

Rather than waking up to something soft, I prefer waking up to heavier music with a sudden start rather than a buildup. My favorites would probably be:

All That Remains - This Calling

Spineshank - Synthetic

Silent Civilian - Rebirth Of The Temple

Bone Thugs N' Harmony featuring 2Pac - "Thug Luv" is perfect to wake you up IMO. Nothing like some gun shots to get your heart pumping and going for the rest of the day.
