I plan to make a Halo 2 Montage ... I already have all the clips I need, the only thing I don't have is a good song with a beat. I was almost thinking of using Jump by Van Halen because it has a consistent beat ...

Songs I do not want to use for my own reasons are .

T.N.T. - Ac/Dc
Saliva - Click Click Boom
P.O.D. - Boom
M.C. Hammer - Can't Touch this.

Also, I would like a song with no cussing in it. If this is in the wrong forum I am really sorry, but it seemed like the right place to me ..

No Matter the Size, Finish the Fight.

T.N.T. is the only one I don't understand, but the three others I definitely know why: too much usage.

I would probably recommend a Linkin Park track like "In the End" or "Papercut." I am making my montage too, though the clips are not complete yet. Plus, I am a Covenant Elite and kick bootay too. I switch between the two, but to not get carried away, I personally think you should put rock songs. Select the song you think expresses you the best, or that which you like much.

Christian rock songs always make good music for montages.

For Whom the Bell Tolls by Metallica would be a perfect montage song. Plus, it's never been used.

how about one thats not so cliche, and has been in montages before...no offense.

How about Gel Collective soul? That song has the beat I am looking for, but I am not exactly sure it is really "haloish".
I was also listing the songs I didn't want to use :P

Black Dog or Kashmir by Led Zeppelin if you have a long enough montage and get the timing right with the music.
Paranoid by Black Sabbath if it's short

There was a man from Allentown who fed his son to death.
He calmly watched him gorge himself until his final breath.
And there he stood, surprised and shocked above his tiny frame.
He said: "I bear no blame for this. I only share his name!"

All have been overused. Think of one no one has used yet. Rock is usually best for montages in my opinion.

Most of the Nine Inch Nails tracks would be good.
