Yes, I am on a music kick today, sorry

I am looking for some new music to listen to

I really don't like gangsta rap or death metal but open to pretty much anything else so gimme your best

First, can we maybe make this a sticky? I see this request a lot and it would be nice to have one thread where people can go to as a constant resource!

NOTE/Dislaimer: My exercise playlists are not representative of my typical musical tastes.

Here are some good ones that get me going a little faster:

-Womanizer-Britney Spears
-Mercy-Duffy
-American Boy-Estelle featuring Kanye West
-Ska from my college days and No Doubt
-Disturbia, Please Don't Stop the Music-Rihanna
-Kelly Clarkson's faster stuff
-Pink's faster stuff

I'm looking forward to reading more suggestions!

I am living in the 80s lately I have been listening to itunes Radio Big R 80s radio. Usually when I'm at home, I'll put it on and listen to it while I'm doing whatever.

Thank you Amy for all the great suggestions

Thanks nelie too, I like the 80s

I stick mainly to dance tunes or faster songs for working out. Some favorites include:

Pink - Get the Party Started, Sober
Britney Spears - I'M a Slave 4 U, Freakshow, Boys (Co-ed Remix), Stronger, Gimme More, Toy Soldier, Break the Ice, Circus, etc
Christina Aguilera - Genie in a Bottle, Fighter, Dirrty
Rihanna - Shut Up and Drive, Push Up On Me
Shakira - Hips Don't Lie, Don't Bother, Whereever Whenever, Eyes Like Yours, La Tortura (can't understand this one but it's upbeat and a super cool music video LOL), adding She Wolf as soon as CD comes out
Samantha Fox - I Wanna Have Some Fun
Divinyls - I Touch Myself, Back To the Wall
Sweet Sensation - Take It While It's Hot
Vanity 6 - Nasty Girl
Morris Day - The Walk, Jungle Love
Berlin - Pleasure Victim, Masquerade, Sex (I'm A...)

Thinking of adding some Lady Ga Ga ...

Im so glad you asked this! I am so tickled with what I am listening to right now and I wanted to share it with you guys cause its a super great cd for walking and running, ya know, it gets ya goin...

Michael Jackson-Blood on the Dancefloor

There are a few new songs on there plus there are remakes of some of his previous songs, but made with a Re-MIX.

Its awesome! And I do love me some Michael Jackson. Bless his heart. And those of you who think 'why is she listening to a child molester'? I seriously think that whole issue was fabricated by money hungry people....I believe he is and was innocent.

Thanks MugCanDoIt


(and hopefully no one will start a debate here over MJ, please, this is not the place for it, thanks )

Yes I agree.....

I listen to alot of hip hop (not gangsta rap lol) and techno when I workout, my favorites are:

Kanye West - Stronger
Kanye West - Flashing Lights
DJ Tiesto - Just Be
Tiesto - Olympic
Jes - Imagination (Kaskade Remix)
Armin Van Buuren ft Susanna - If you should go
Black Eyed Peas - Bom Bom Pow
Black Eyed Peas - Shut up (Remix)
Black Eyed Peas - Don't Phunk with my Heart
Keri Hilson - Turnin' Me on
P. Diddy & the family - Is this the End
P. Diddy ft/Twista - Is this the End (Part 2)

I love Maxwell, but I can't work out to him. So I am really on Prince, MJ, 80s Madonna, well, anything from the 80s especially 80s hip hop.

Thanks everyone for the ideas.

And really, they don't have to be songs for working out. I am just wanting some new songs for general, everyday listening

Great music I've been into lately:
-Jose Gonzales
-Fleet Foxes
-Bon Iver
-Spoon
-Sara Watkins
-David Gray
-MGMT
-Yeah Yeah Yeahs

My most favourite song in the world is Rompin Shop by Vybz Kartel & Spice I listen to it atleast 15 times a day.

Now, it is Jamaican reggae/dancehall. I don't know it would be your cup of tea or not, but a lot of my friends who aren't into reggae, love it. It's simply a-m-a-z-i-n-g

Thanks Jen and luvja

Are you aware that if it isn't Neil Diamond it isn't really music?
