I think I've added atleast 50 new songs to my iPod! Thanks guys, can't wait to try them out tomorrow!

[cinderpa]

Other good ones "We Will Rock You" by Queen, "American Idiot" by Green Day and "I Wanna be Sedated" by The Ramones.

I'll try and list some great songs that are fairly fast-paced, I only listen to satellite radio so I have no idea if they're mainstream or unheard of on regular radio...they're all pretty good, at least I think. Mostly alt-rock/pop type music, you can probably listen to a preview on amazon of most of these songs before you download.

We are scientists "Nobody move, nobody get hurt"
Nine Black Alps "Cosmopolitan" (lyrics can be ignored, as they go something like 'you're not pretty enough, you're not skinny enough', unless that actually motivates you and not demoralizes you)
Arctic Monkeys "I bet you look good on the dancefloor"
Blur "Boys and Girls"
Hot Hot Heat "Bandages"
Gogol Bordello "Not a Crime" (this is insanely upbeat gypsy punk)
Kaiser Chiefs "I Predict a Riot"

some older stuff I can think of offhand that still rocks:

Tracy Bonham "Mother Mother"
Veruca Salt "Volcano Girls"
Marvelous 3 "Freak of the Week"

There is really no rhyme or reason to my list, but it keeps me entertained and I rarely get bored with it. I have many other to add to it, but I don't buy music very often.

[Hat Trick]

Just added these last night from itunes. Hey, when you purchase from itunes they set up a 'Just For You' section at the bottom of the itunes music store page. They look at what you've purchased in the past and suggest music they think you might like based on that. I've gotten some good tunes that way. Some I didn't know; others I'd forgotten about. Also, they have a free 'Single of the Week'.

Hey WildThings, don't fret the Britney song. I have her 'Baby One More Time', plus a Hanson song and the theme to Drake and Josh. I just like the songs, what can I say??

Get On Out Soul Asylum
And She Was Talking Heads
Burning Down the House Talking Heads
Fly From the Inside Shinedown
Life Is a Highway Rascal Flatts --- GREAT SONG!
Inside Out Eve 6
The Middle Jimmy Eat World

If you go onto Itunes and look up free downloads they sometimes have workout routines with music in the fitness section. My personal favs are techno because the beat is supposed to mimick a heartbeat moving faster and slower and my body just seems to meld to the beat, techno is good for long runs or endurance training because it keeps you on target. For Techno try Benni Benassi. But i also like to listen to Cascada, "cant stop the rain" because her music is fast paced and I second the pink music as well.

Oh and if you have a thing for 80's music
the police are pretty good for working out to along with anything from Footloose or Flash Dance

[OnlyMeantWell]

I heard Jack's Mannequin "Dark Blue" the other day, it was a song that I used to listen to a lot and LOVE, now it's on my iPod.

[Heffalump]

Wow, I love how this thread is growing - great suggestions all!

This might be old news for some of you, but couple of days ago I found this site: JogtunesIndie. They have free 30 min. podcasts with running music - they even give the bpm for each song. So far I've listened to two of them and liked them a lot - both for running and for discovering new bands. At times it's a little chatty (mostly for the first couple of minutes) but the songs are great if you like indie music.

[SkinnyDogMom]

Soundtrack for "The Full Monty" is one of my favorites.

[mypunkrockromance]

These are older songs but they are always on my workout play list becayse they get me so pumped.

Kelly Clarkson - Never Again
Kelly Clarkson - Since You Been Gone
kittycat Dolls - Buttons
Maroon 5 - This Love

[MissVitality]

We recently did a routine in my Step class to "We're not gonna take it" by the Twisted Sisters and it went down a treat! Everyone singing along and it really revved everyone up.

[MaryEllen]

There's a rap song called We Ready by Archie that I really like. My brother used to wrestle and would listen to that song before every match. Works for both of us!
