I would have to say "Holiday" by Madonna. When Colorado Rockies left fielder strides up to teh plate with that tune rocking over the pa, you know something special is about to happen.
WU TANG CLAN and JOHNNY CASH
I always liked "Play that funky music, white boy." Of course, for O's games "Thank God I'm a country boy" is pretty happening too.
In my opinion (it’s a fact, actually) there are three types of songs to get pumped up.
1) You have the classic motivational/inspirational song. The best example of this would obviously be “Eye of the Tiger.” After listening to this, anyone that can honestly say they don’t get the urge to run a marathon up a mountain in the snow or take an 8 ft tall Ruskie 15 rounds has no soul.

2) The next song would be the raucous “get pumped and slash your opponents throat then bathe in their blood” song. My favorite in this category would be “Fight Till You Die” by Pennywise. While it may be an anti-government song, it’s generally too fast and loud to understand all the lyrics. So you can ignore most of them. Speaking of ignoring, please ignore the video attached to this link and just listen to the song. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaaRREQHlxA)
3) The third and final type of song would be the slow, contemplative song. The kind of song that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. It makes you think about what you have to do—how you need to go about slashing your opponents throat. The prototypical song in this category would be “In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins.

There is no room for argument here. This is the definitive list.
Obviously Welcome to the Jungle. "YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE?! YOU'RE IN THE JUNGLE BABY, AND YOU'RE GONNA DIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!" \
Man, I got pumped just writing that!
Hip hop cause it don't stop. You know.
Growing up a Bills fan, there is only one answer: The Bills make me wanna SHOUT!
Kick your heels up and SHOUT!
Throw your hands up and SHOUT!
Throw your head back and SHOUT!
Hey…Hey…
(Repeat)
Let’s go Buffa-lo…Let’s go Buffa-lo
(Repeat)
The Bills make me wanna SHOUT!
Icelandic Techno with a Primal Beat and broken english
Phill Collins - for all the haters out there!
Um, are you kidding? Enter Sandman. Duh. That was a stupid question.
I hum "Eye of the Tiger" to myself
I am too cynical to become "pumped."
Although John would probably say Sweet Caroline or Saturday in the Park, I personally think it's Rock & Roll part 2----- Thanks John
Hip Hop cause it don't stop. Oldies because they are mellow. Hard rock because it's like that.
I guess the generic answer is "Enter Sandman" because I am a hokie. However, I get really excited when I hear the begining of "Welcome to the jungle" as well as "We will rock you".
Okay I don't know the genre but I love the "Pump Up The Jam" and "Make You Sweat" type songs. I think they are from the 90's. There were all those songs that you still hear especially before basketball games.
The Rocky soundtrack - it makes me want to run 5 miles, or lift large boulders. Despite the fact that I haven't run that far in about 7 years. Gives me the eye of the tiger for about 3 minutes. Then the song ends.....
At the University of Maryland when the whole student section goes Na Na Na! Hey! You Suck!!!! and You! and You! and You!....... You Suck! It just doesn't get any better than that!!!
