Wake up music

Whats your favourite tune to get the morning kicked off and ramped up to max mode? This is mine, I crank it up on my Rotel amp and JMlab speakers, and it is awesome: George Thorogood "Move It On Over" - YouTube[^]
I wake up to talk radio. At the time the radio starts up (5h45), there is a song that is playing, but it changes every morning.
I'd rather be phishing!

Usually any old thundering Delta Blues tune will do. Not the phony stuff that passes for R&B nowadays. Give me old school stuff from Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon etc. I especially like Steppenwolf's version of "Hoochie Coochie Man"[^]
Sometimes the true reward for completing a task is not the money, but instead the satisfaction of a job well done. But it's usually the money.
A couple years ago, my kid did a project on Muddy Waters for school, so being the responsible parent I took him to the Blues Heaven Foundation[^] at the site of the old Chess records building in Chicago. Where I talked with Willie Dixons grandson, and played his bass for a little while, it was pretty darn cool. :)

Yeah, I'm a little jealous right now. :)

My favorite is my vibrating wristwatch. Tried waking up with music, failed. When music plays, I integrate that into my dreams instead of waking up.

Ah, OK. I wake up when I want, but love this tune to crank up first thing when I make my green tea. Really kicks the day off with a smile! :)

The alarm on my iPhone is AC/DC's Who Made Who (12" Extended Mix) from the deluxe edition of their Backtracks album. AC/DC - Who Made Who (12" Version) [HQ] - YouTube[^] If that doesn't wake you up I don't know what will.

The only time I've used an alarm clock in the last 25 years or so is when I'm traveling and I have an early flight. I despise alarms of all shapes and sizes. I get migraines X|, and one of the keys to managing them is ensuring I get enough sleep. If I need to sleep in an extra 15 or 30 minutes in the morning, I do it. As it is, I'm usually the first one in to work at 7:00 a.m or so.

Pretty much anything by Sully Erna and Godsmack will get your blood moving, but this is my favourite: Godsmack - Drum Battle - Sully Erna vs Shannon Larkin (HD)[^]

Don't need an alarm clock, dogs and cats are on that. But just in terms of getting the mood up getting your steam on I like Elvis Costello's "This Year's Model". IMO it's one of those rare albums where every track is great. "Pump It Up" however is a shot of pure adrenaline.

Yeah, that is a good song! :)

If I needed to get amped up on the drive in it will be Rush, Boston, Van Halen (not Van Hagar), Robin Trower, etc. This is a great waker-upper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTZHHQplIX8 "Just one more morning, I have to wake up with the blues..."
