When, I fly, I always wish that music would be played during take-off. I know a lot of people don't agree, but if music could/would be plate on the take-off run and during the climb out phase. What would be your favorite songs for this phase of the flight?
In my opinion take-off songs need to ROCK!! That's why my ten favorite songs would be (title + artist):
1. Born to be Wild - Steppenwolf
2. Don't stop me now - Queen
3. Learning to Fly - Tom Petty
4. Highway Star - Deep Purple
5. Born to Run - Bruce Sprigsteen
6. Walk of Life - Dire Straits
7. (I can get no) Satisfaction - Rolling Stones
8. Reunited - Greg Kihn Band
9. Two Tickets to Paradise - Eddie Money
10. Final Count Down - Europe
Now, it's your turn. I'm really looking forward to your favorite songs.

I remember years ago when I had an FM walkman with no tape, I was listening to it with the in-ear phones during taxi and just when the 727 spooled up for take off, the extended mix of "You Spin Me Round" by Dead or Alive started and the timing of this was so appropriate!! Of course when I got a cassette walkman, I would deliberately play this song for take off for many more flights.

The music from the motion picture "Apollo 13," more specifically "the launch" theme. Simply awesome...

Amy, glad you share the same enthusiasm. I listen to that song everytime...just very inspiring and it sends chills up my body as I feel the aircraft take-off with the chorus in the background.
BTW, I thought I was the only idiot that listened to this kind of stuff during take-off, but what else can I expect from my family here at airliners.net, right?
hehe
Regards to all

Listening to the roar of the jets is enough entertainment for me, but, otherwise my choices would be:- Learn to Fly - Foo Fighters, (the video), I Believe I Can Fly - R Kelly/Seal or Steve Miller Band - Fly Like an Eagle.
Failing all the above anything by Wings, The Jets, The Birds,Jefferson Airplane etc.

Both optimists and pessimists contribute to the society. The optimist invents the aeroplane, the pessimist the parachute
I also love "lift us up where we belong" by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes. I think it was LH's theme song for a while, and it was the most suitable theme song i could think of....
