I don't really listen to motivational music, but if I had to pick something it'd definitely be the Chariots of Fire music.

- Coheed & Cambria - "Welcome Home"

- Shpongle - anything they've ever done, but specifically "Around the World in a Tea Daze" and "Once Upon the Sea of Blissful Awareness"

- Tool - any song they've ever done, but specifically anything off of "Lateralus" ("Parabola" is my most inspiring song EVER)

- Loreena McKennitt - ANYTHING (she has a new album coming out after a 10-year silence! I'm so excited )

- Godspeed You! Black Emperor's "East Hastings" and "The Dead Flag Blues"

- Enigma's "Push the Limits", "Silence Must Be Heard" and "Endless Quest"

- Delerium's "Silence", "Forgotten Worlds", "Truly", "Lamentation", and "Twilight"

- A Silver Mt. Zion's "Broken Chords Can Sing a Little", "Ring Them Bells (Freedom Has Come & Gone)" and "Sit in the Middle of Three Galloping Dogs" So sad, but so inspiring.

these are the most inspiring, I suppose... I do have a lot of music, lol...

I actually listen to Midnight Syndicate's songs that have a march-style beat to them, like City of Sails or Gates of Delirium. It is an odd choice for motivation, but it reminds me of where I've been and where I'm gearing to go.

Outkast's music really motivates me with their fast beats and stuff. Has me going a mile a minute.

Anything performed by the Young at Heart Chorus. I saw a film on TV about them last night, and I'm inspired. They shine.

Van Morrison's Poetic Champion Compose - the entire album chronicles a life's journey to enlightement. I love this album it is like reading a self-help book.

Here is a sample of the albums progression:
The mystery
I forgot that love exisited
Give me my rapture today
Did you get healed?

This album makes me hopeful. Van has a lot of albums like this one, Enlightenment is a great one also.

Cheers,

see I think it all depends on the mood you're in

sometimes thing need to be done slowly... where something like classical is good music to listen to. Then there's times where you want to work really quickly on things... in this case I enjoy electronica

the best thing to do... if you don't have music is check out online radio stations like di.fm and shoutcast.com

anyway... that's my 2 cents.

Return to innocence - Enigma
Hero - Mariah Carey
3 little birds - Bob Marley

You know my name - Chris Connel [New James Bond]
Nobody does it better - Warren G, Nate Dogg [Rap, RnB, G-Funk]

Alexandra leaving - Leonard Cohen [I don't know if you will find this one motivational; but if you are losing the love of your life, the song's message is to say goodbye...]

I can't add 2Pac since people don't like his music like I like it.

Sing for the moment and lose yourself by eminem
Rise up by Yves Larock

And a weird song choice, but the song "Bet on it" from High School Musical 2 is actually a great song, with amazing lyrics considering PD
