So whether you are throwing a sports event party or you just need a natural surge of energy in the morning (note: listen to 'Eye of the Tiger'), check out our Top 10 Sports Songs, as rated by AOL listeners.

'Lose Yourself'
This Grammy Award-winning song was featured in the critically-acclaimed flick '8 Mile' as well as Eminem's 2005 greatest hits album, 'Curtain Call: The Hits.' Eminem wrote the song on the movie set of '8 Mile' to describe his character in the film. The song is often played on PA systems to prep sport teams up before they hit the field.

Scott was one of the co-writers and sang harmony on the record. The lyrics told of a woman's ability to move on after a long relationship and it resonated with country fans who gave Evans a standing ovation when she played it at the Academy of Country Music Awards on April 3.
