There is a lack of rap in these suggestions, and it's a problem. My two entrepreneur-related favorites:

1. "Ima Boss"- Meek Mill Feat. Rick Ross http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW4Acfqzpz4

2. "You Ain't Got Nothing On Me" - Lil Wayne ft. Juelz Santana and Fabulous http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5iJ1673r1o&feature=relat...

Anything by Rick Ross or Lil Wayne never fails to get me motivated to do some work.


Intriguing Possibilities, by Trent Reznor, from The Social Network

Amazed this wasn't the first one listed, in fact!


That's only for 19-year olds working on mobisociofoto apps. Peldi's got a real business :-P


Takin' Care Of Business by Bachman-Turner Overdrive:

:-) Hope you're not workin' at nuthin' all day, though.


I always enjoyed this particular song from my favourite composer Diane Warren when I am feeling down "When I am Back On My Feet Again" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdsq2bJxkG8


For me it's always The Underdog by Spoon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1hZVDLkJDc

I've never heard a song that better sums up the feeling of building something incredible.


This one seems to be missing from the list

Don't stop me now - Queen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgzGwKwLmgM


I'm going to date myself, I guess.

"Best I can", Queensryche

"Circumstances" / "Something for nothing", Rush


I was expecting hip hop for some reason..


Oh yes, Ben Horowitz's blog always has some.


"Poor Jack" from the Nightmare before Christmas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXXOO3Wd_5Q. One of the best songs for this purpose ever, it never fails to pick you up.
