i agree with you one undred percent, but survivor's best song is "burning heart"-hands down winner in my opinion. thank god for the rocky soundtracks huh?

I honestly don't listen to music. I jump alot better when I'm roaming, talking and joking with teamates and competitors... Just the way I've always done things...
I am the kind of person, who can get really pumped up and tense, and that just makes things worse for me.

However, a little Zombie Nation never hurt anyone...

My friend and I listened to Hollaback Girl by Gwen stefani before each meet, if you listen to the words, they talk about winning and it pumps me up. I also like rap before a meet...

I've always been a sucker for soundtracks. Mission Impossible, Superman, and of course, ROCKY music. I made a CD that mixed in the Olympic themes and I can just picture myself at the games.
