Top 10 Motivational Songs for Entrepreneurs

Rockers

I had composed this list a few weeks ago. As a sign of what’s to come with copyright enforcement, every single video I had bookmarked has been yanked off of YouTube since then. Hopefully these will last at least a few days.

This list ranges from the 70s to present day, and each song that made the list was ranked by it’s lyrics, energy, and memorability.

Pamela over at Escape from Cubicle Nation had created a list of her top entrepreneurial songs back in October, and surprisingly enough, I chose 10 different songs than her.

Please feel free to suggest other songs that you find motivating in the comments and maybe we’ll put a second version of this list together down the road.

A few of the music videos were not available, so some of them are either the original music with a homemade video, or a re-recorded version.

Anyways, here are the Top 10 Motivational Songs for Entrepreneurs:

10. Counting Crows - Big Yellow Taxi

9. John Lennon - Imagine

8. John Mayer - Waiting on the World to Change

7. The O’Jays - For the Love of Money

6. Ben Harper - With My Own Two Hands

5. Fort Minor - Be Somebody

4. Incubus - Drive

3. Trooper - Raise a Little Hell

2. Queen - I Want it All

1. Survivor - Eye of the Tiger
