Mmmm... well I find depending on the night out will determine the music I play beforehand. I love most types of music but I've found some tracks that always get me in the right mindset.

Blue Juice - Vitriol (I just want to jump around when I hear this song!)
Architecture in Helsinki - Debbie
The Gossip - Standing in the way of control
Simian Mobile Disco - I Believe
Queens of the Stone Age - First it giveth
ACDC - Back in Black (classic)
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Give it away

I'm working on a mixtape of sorts for this.

The first song that comes to mind is "When We Were Young" by The Killers.

There's only one song that can get anybody pumped for anything.

That would have to be The Final Countdown. By Europe.
