Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers- Runnin’ Down A Dream(The music for our season video). It’s a great song, good lyrics, and can sum up FIRST a bit. Any of the songs I’ve posted about, you can just ask me for and I’ll give them to you if you don’t want to search them out to download them. 
other songs i’d enjoy hearing:
Reptilia- The Strokes
Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger- Daft Punk
One More Time- Daft Punk
I Believe in a Thing Called Love- The Darkness (yeah, i know… but my team has some fun memories of bus rides and belting this one out.)
Breathe on Me- Britney Spears (I know what you are all thinking, but this song is really a pretty good one, the beat is so awesome.)
maybe i’ll think of more later.
Perhaps this is my inspriation to finally make Shiny Dirt v 6.0 (Robomix)! If not…good old Shiny Dirt v 1.0 can be brought with and played for all to marvel at :ahh: Maybe if someone can host it for me, I’ll release it for the masses and link it here (my MSOE webspace probably can’t handle the number of downloads that this awesome song will receive!)
Other songs on my list:
-Megadeth - Crush’em (ok, so the lyrics aren’t exactly about gracious professionalism, but its still a good competition song!)
-Alice Deejay - The Lonely One (Great rave song)
-Eye of the Tiger
-The FIRST regulars (Cotten Eyed Joe, We Like to Party, The Launch, Kernkraft 400, Better Off Alone)
I’m sure there is more…but this list is huge already! Its gonna be an awesome time!!!

-dave
WOW thats like the ultimate classic rock album right there…sorta classic…
Dave,
Don’t waste a blank CD. I don’t like any of these songs. If you want anyone to hear this garbage, you will have to bring the CD to the IRI yourself. One for each day. And guest MC. And give a motivation speech. And tell us about the 2005 game.
shameless, blatant attempt to get dave to commit to the IRI
(oooh, good idea, Chris!)
No, Dave, we DON’T want to hear about how Spirit and Opportunity are doing, and we DON’T want to hear how much support you guys are getting after an immensely successful mission. Heck, we WON’T even have time to let you talk to the crowd… we’ll be too busy with human player competitions, talent shows and getting in 8 qualification matches for 60 teams.
Yeah, you just come and bring your CD of sucky-songs. We might play them, we might not.
(gee, I hope this works!)
hmmm… speaking of space, why don’t you add this to the list when (if?) Dave shows up:
Rocket Man - Elton John
Andy B.

It’s gettin there guys I’m really looking for music now that could be used in the finals and awards ceremony. To look at the IRI Awards, see here - http://www.indianafirst.org/The_2004_Indiana_Robotics_Invitational_Rev_0.pdf
A few I have thought of for the awards are “My Hero” by the Foo Fighters, “It’s all about the Benjamins” by Puff Daddy and of course “All Star” by Smash Mouth. What else eh? :]
Playlist will be out soon… I’m still inserting that dreaded music known only as “country” :rolleyes:
Woo! The most anticipated release of 2004, the IRI music playlist!
noooooooo… gah. well, i guess it’s better than the yodeling from wisconsin…
::runs and hides::
Trust me, the country that I play must meet my expectations… which basically means a) doesn’t sound like most country b) still sounds good c) minimizes the use of phrases such as “honkey tonkey” :]
Here is the playlist thus far - remember there’s still 15 days or so, and I’m definately still taking requests… haven’t got that much feedback, so - let me know what you guys think and let me know if you don’t see a song that you want on there… :]
edit: Looks like you have to save the file and then open it from your computer.

- Rob Dougan - Furious Angels
that is such an AWESOME song! i performed in a routine to the instrumental version in my dance studio’s recital this year. if i was going to IRI, that would certainly make me want to bust a move!
p.s. props for all the mellencamp!! 
Let me just say, that’s a beautiful playlist! Good job, I can’t wait!
Do you think you can add Paul Oakenfold - Ready Steady Go? It’s a good beginning of the day song. 311 - Down is a good one too.
Very nice list. Sorry if I these were on there and I missed them but here’s a few more you may or may not want to add.
Black Eyed Peas - Let’s Get it Started
Beyonce - Crazy in Love (feat. Jay Z)
Mary J Blige - Family Affair
Liz Phair - Why Can’t I?
Hey Ryan, I private messaged you a list of about 20 songs to check out.
I’ve updated the IRI Playlist… it’s still growing, and it needs to continue. I’m shooting for around 700 songs… any suggestions would be helpful. Very helpful :]
