  • Hi Sarah, I'm Sarah too!

    I like listening to Royksopp, Robyn, Ratatat (slow for some I guess), Slagsmalsklubben (have fun looking that one up haha!), some Metric, some Loney,Dear, some Polarkreis 18. Ok.. I think my music taste might be a little eclectic but thought I'd pop in with some different suggestions!

    lol I love this song too! You're right, Hanson definitely has some upbeat songs.

    Thanks for all of the suggestions listed... I've added many to my ipod!
  • right now I have found some older songs that Im totally into, like Run DMC it's tricky is like stuck in my head! can't get it out!!
  • What an awesome idea for a thread. Everyone's posted some awesome songs, many of which are already on my playlists for the gym. I personally go for a huge mash-up of stuff. Anything that's driving, has a good beat, or can get you pumped... I just slap it all together and sweat baby sweat.

    Still a huge fan of all the music I grew up with, y'know.. the 90's rock, R&B, etc. But I never rule out anything interesting.

    Eminem - Lose Yourself
    Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice
    Finger Eleven - Paralyzer
    The Fratellis - Flathead / Henrietta
    The Futureheads - Struck Dumb (One of my fav. treadmill songs!)
    Jimmy Eat World - The entire "Chase this Light" CD
    Jurassic 5 - One Two / The Game / Freedom (Great beats)
    The Kills - Cheap and Cheerful
    M.I.A. - Paper Planes / Galang
    Madonna - The entire "Confessions on a Dance Floor" CD


    3OH!3
    Black Eyed Peas
    Lady Gaga
    Daft Punk
    Shinedown
    Seether
    The Descendents
    Fall Out Boy
    So many other things as well... but I won't ramble on for forever.

    If you are a country fan - Sugarland "settlin" - its always first on my ipod cuz it gives me a real pick me up to get started!

    Also I like
    Rev Theory - "**** Yeah"
    Kid Rock - "So Hott"
    Iron Madien - "Run to the Hills"
    Some old Backstreet Boys really makes me want to move too!

  • HAHAH Great suggestions guys!

    I'm an old skool hardcore breakbeat junky (techno) so I have TONS of old mixes from all sorts of DJs around the world.

    To those that mentioned Daft Punk and Basement Jaxx - you can never go wrong.

    I actually heard the song "4th of July" by Kalis today (you know, the girl that did the milkshake song) and it's actually pretty dope. Has a good house beat behind it.
  • Pink--any of her stuff
    Hinder- nothin good about goodbye, get stoned

    black eyed peas- imma be
