Turn Up The Beat

When it comes to working your way though a buck load of studying, it often helps to have a thumping soundtrack to help you though and that is what I'm willing to provide here. So here are my top 10 tracks for getting though the tough study slog, though the help of these various power ballads.

1. Eye Of The Tiger by Survivor

I know this is very typical of any upbeat soundtrack, but i think Eye Of The Tiger is a great track to get your focus on track and just like Rocky did in the Rocky movies, get you prepared for the big study session or exam your about to undertake and get your head in the right place.

2. Heat Of The Moment by Asia

While maybe not as wildly know as the previously mentioned song, Asia's Heat Of The Moment is a great track to get your heart pumping and into a good place to help you knock out a few hours of tedious study.

3. More Than A Feeling by Boston

If you ever need a song to rev your heart up and get you into a groovy mood, Boston's More Than A Feeling, while this song may be leading towards a strong heartfelt romantic feeling it is also a great song to help you get the motivation and encouragement to help you though the study period.

4. And We Danced By The Hooters

This is a personal favorite of mine, while it's probably more intended for a get up and dance vibe, I feel it also provides a good motivational heart pounding sing along.

5. Take A Long Line by The Angels

Onto a more grungier sound, Take A Long Line by The Angels, provides a nice sound to a more pumped up anthem to keep you motivated during your study period.

6. Bad To The Bone by George Thorogood

Nothing like a song about being Bad To The Bone to motivate you to study right. Well in regards to that, i think it more to do with the fact that if you consider yourself 'Bad To The Bone' you can accomplish anything, so hopefully this helps get your head in the right space of mind to do so.

7. We Can't Be Beaten by Rose Tattoo

Nothing like a song featuring Angry Anderson to get you in the mood, this Rose Tattoo classic is a great song to get you motivated and pumped up claiming to yourself 'you can't be beaten'.

8. Nothing But A Good Time by Poison

Nothing like a classic Poison track to get you in the mood, thinking about Nothin' But A Good Time after you finish your study and getting you pumped up in the mean time to get yourself though your hectic study session. Or if you prefer, you could always go with Cherry Pie.

9. Rock And Roll All Night by KISS

Nothing like a good KISS track to get you in the mood, these glam rockers have the perfect soundtrack to your less than enjoyable study sessions.

10. We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions by Queen

Last by not least, a fitting end to a great pumped up soundtrack, I'd be very reminiscent not to include at least one Queen track on this list, so i decided to go with their most penultimate hit, a.k.a We Will Rock You or We Are The Champions, depending on your point of view and whether you consider these two tracks as one or independent from one another, either way they are both great tracks and echo an end to what has been a great end to the list of rocking anthems.
