This was fun because I listen to the same playlist everytime I run, but it is hard to remember what songs I have on it. I also have some songs by NOFX and the Yeahs Yeahs Yeahs, but i can't remember the titles. I love me and Julio and I think I am going to add it to my list. Thank you for reminding me of it!!
The Ramones' "I Wanna Be Sedated" has helped me up many a hill in my neighborhood.
Blondie's "Call Me" is similarly propulsive. And the Ting Tings' "Shut Up and Let Me Go." (I really like the latter, though I'm a bit embarrassed about that because I fell in love with it while hearing it in the Apple commercial. I feel like a capitalist tool ...)
I have a workout mix of 'Pocket Full of Sunshine' and 'U and UR Hand' by Pink. They have been sped up a little but are fun to shake it to- OH! That's another one 'Shake It' by Metro Station.

Well don't laugh but some of the best songs I find to work out to are from the High school Musical soundtracks...especially...Get your head in Game and Fabulous and I want it all!
Hi-These are fantastic songs! I love to listen to:

Queen
KT Tunstall
Kansas-Onward Wayward Son
Van Halen-Dreams
Van Halen-Right Now
Numa Numa, Dragostea Din Te
This sounds stupid-Rocky III and IV soundtrack
I have more-I need to get my itunes up and I'll post more later. I like these since they are upbeat and most of them are very motivating to work out to. I'll definitely have to add new ones that have been posted here!!
I got itunes cards for my birthday and have been filling my MP3 player (bare bones simple - an ipod shuffle), with only music with a fast tempo - mostly (I know this is a bit weird) irish and scottish war and drinking songs.
I'm a bit of a freak for irish/scottish/celtic/gaelic music - I even have a fair amount in Gaelic (which I don't understand). I like everything from New Age instrumentals to traditional folk songs to rock and punk.
The Pogues, Skels, Tossers, Real McKenzies, Dropkick Murphy, Black 47 (irish rock and punk bands) are an obvious choice, but the traditional marching (war or rebel) songs and many drinking songs have a heartpumping beat too.
I like a bit of everything as long as it has a good, fast beat. I like alot of 80's music. When I led group PT, I played alot of Weird Al and caught alot of grief for it.
Some I have on my MP3 player right now:
So What by Pink,
Barbie Girl by Aqua,
Rock Me Amadeus by Falco,
Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne,
Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd,
When I Hear Music by Trinere,
Jump by Chris Cross,
Belly of the Whale by the Newsboys,
Pirates who Don't Do Anything (rock version from Veggie Tales Jonas Movie)
Billy Jo MacGuffry (also from Veggie Tales)
Now don't laugh, but the song that gets me across the finish line for my 1.5 mile timed run is Best of Both Worlds...the Hannah Montanah theme song...very corny I know, but it has the right tempo.
Awesome songs!
LOL
