I was crankin’ up some good old AC/DC this afternoon, and it got me thinking. If there was a song that spoke to the experience and the spirit of the entrepreneur, what would it be? Instead of one, I came up with ten. Blame it on the old under-promise, over-deliver. Here are my two votes. What are yours?
It’s a Long Way to the Top by AC/DC
and this one, possibly my favorite (by a Jamaican artist named Cezar) is the one I always listen to. When I am down, this tune gets me up!
Keep On by Cezar

Since such great suggestions are coming in via email and the comments below, I thought I should start posting more of them here. Here they are:
Here are a couple other that comes to mind…
Natasha Beddingfield‘s Unwritten.
Black Eyed Peas – Let’s Get It Started
Great choices Mike— Music is the only way to really get inspired
(other than reading some motivational authors book-lol Maybe u should
set the Pumpkin Plan to music CD – Maybe Billy Corgan can help……..?
FOR ME—
Foo Fighters – every song on shuffle
u2 – Mofo
u2 – All because of you & Discotech
I was totally thinking of Billy Corgan too. I need to meet him (and the band).
Thanks for those additional great tips. I love the tunes your recommended!!!!
talk about the boss “guitar picks – etc” i’ll share this with you
i pissed next to him at irving plaza (billy corgan)” one night …
i bought 2 scalp tix for u2 irving plaza -900 bux each for me & my buddy
started drinking at 1030 am – 4th & 5th in line to get in
front row baby
we look up = spielberg-tom cruise-zach delarosha-billy corgan & more in the mezanine above us
u2 BLEW THE ……….. walls outta the place
i got 2 of the edges picks (i play guitar too) & bonos harmonica case
my best friend is the BIGGEST pumpkin fan- so we’re pissing after the show downstairs in the mens room he’s like – wish’d we coulda met Billy ! & i’m like- look at this dude pissing in a fur coat —
it’s BILLY CORGAN – he couldnt stop laughing
he then spent no less than 30 min talking to my buddy about all things music & shows my buddy was at— great guy — great night
ONLY in NY
That is unbelievable! I hope your friend washed his hand and didn’t do the old “I’ll never wash my hand again” thing. You know with that holdin’ the junk while taking a leak and all.
Amazing story.
My favorite tune by them is Disarm – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1acEVmnVhI&ob=av2n
lol – yea i MADE him wash—- the funny thing was corgan was soooo cool – i can talk shows & music all night – his hot girl with him goes- can we GO now….? rolling her eyes
my buddy & corgan were on a tear talking about this worcester mass show – for so long – they were both finishing each others sentences….she’s like i wanna GO
it’s GREAT when celebs turn out to b approachable & not a deuche
I bow to guys like that. Good people rock (literally!)
Okay, I’ll play. For me these songs are inspirational for entrepreneurs, but for different reasons.
“Let the River Run” — Carly Simon (from “Working Girl”)
“Bad Reputation” — Joan Jett & The Blackhearts
“Baby I’m A Star” — Prince
“I Gotta Feeling” — Black Eyed Peas
“Mama Said Knock You Out” — LL Cool J
“Army of Me” — Bjork
“Where the Streets Have No Name” — U2
“Dog Days Are Over” — Florence + The Machine
“Raise Your Glass” — Pink
“All Star” — Smash Mouth
How about this one:
Pat Benatar’s “Invincible”. I can’t listen to that song without wanting to go out and kick butt.
Nailed it! You nailed it!
Soooo….. you can totally make fun of me… but Miley Cyrus’ song “The Climb” is a big one for entrepreneurs. Let the bashing begin…
No bashing!?!?! Exactly.
