  • I'm really not sure if this is the right place for this thread but here goes....

    I am in dire need of new work out music... my iPhone crashed and I lost most of my collection I'm into a lot of different types of music but it has to be upbeat/fast to keep me going... Anyone have any good suggestions? What's your favourite?
  • Black eyed peas...pump it.
    I hate Kanye, but his soldier song is good.
  • I'm very fond of old, rock and roll! ZZ top, Tina Turner, BTO, Elton John, and so on. But I also toss in some country, Garth Brooks, "standing outside the fire."

    Whitesnake, the "cars", J giels band, (centerfold), Smoke on the water, "Sweet Home Alabama". Lynard Skynard.

    Amazon music, is awesome! I've got Gloria Gaynor, Golden Earring, Chris Ledaux, AC/DC, Toby Kieth, Meatloaf! It's all there!
  • Kelly Sweet - In the Air Tonight (remake of the Phil Collins classic)
    Robin Thicke - Blurred Lines
    The Pussycat Dolls - Sway
    James Brown - Get Up Offa that Thing
    Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper
    Britney Spears - (virtually anything, especially from Blackout & Circus)
    Gwen Stefani - Hollerback Girl
    These are some songs that I have shaken my booty to.
  • I have pretty eclectic taste in music, especially considering I'm over 50 (which explains some of my choices.

    For warm ups: Wild is the Wind (the Bowie version for me)
    Still Life- The Horrors
    And anything by Air (really liking Alone in Kyoto lately.

    For work outs:
    Celebrity Skin- Hole
    Give Me Back My Man- The B-52's
    Fancy- Iggy Azalea
    Parliament/Funkadelic- One Nation (Under a Groove)
    Seeds of Love- Tears for Fears
    This is Not a Love Song- PiL
    Stupid Girl- Garbage
    Anything by Daft Punk I'm obsessed with French pop music (I even like Vanessa Paradis)
    There are so many songs I truly love, but these are some of the ones I have on my work out playlist at the moment.

    PS You can skip some of them if you're offended by explicit lyrics

    Oops almost forgot my absolute current favourite
    Left Hand Free- Alt-J Just LOVE this song (if you like Beck you'll like this)
  • I really despise both Eminem and Kanye West, but "Til I Collapse" and "Stronger" are two of my go-to workout jams. I also have a *lot* of 80s pop.
  • I am currently digging a workout mashup of Blurred Lines and Ice Ice Baby. The shame factor is high, but its so good.

    Other favorites:
    Ghost - Ella Henderson
    Sorrow - Bad Religion
    The Decline - NOFX (this is my go to when a workout is inching by sloooooowly. It's almost 20 min long, so you get on, sing along, and by the time you're through it, a good portion of your time has gone by).
    La La La - Naughty Boy ft Sam Smith
    Shut Up and Dance - Walk the Moon
    Titanium - David Guetta and Sia
