Insane in the Brain. When I hear "Who you tryin to get crazy with Ese? Dont you know Im loco?" Im like BALLS YEAH IM LOCO. lol.

My 2nd fave would be Teenage Electric - Circle Jerks.

American Idiot by Green Day.

I like the same type of stuff that fillupthesky mentioned previously.

I love these threads when they come up every so often... I live and exercise by my IPOD and I am going to be downloading the suggestions to liven up my playlist... here are some of my favs:

Adam Lambert - No Boundaries (words totally motivate me for weight loss)
Ke$ha - Your love is my drug
Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone and I'm free (makes me feel like dancing)
Miley Cyrus - Can't Be tamed and the climb (motivator!!)
Shania Twain - Whose Bed Have Your Boots been under and Any Man of Mine
Survivor - Eye of the Tiger
Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up
Queen - We Will Rock You
Animotion - Obsession

I like a variety of music. So what works for me is to have a variety of music and then I get a variety of moods while working out.

For example, I just did 45 minutes on the treadmill. 4 songs - in order - were

Evanescence - Bring me to Life
Glee cast - Defying Gravity
Godsmack - Voodoo
Katy Perry - Waking up in Vegas

Defying Gravity is an incredibly inspirational song for me. I have the words "Defy Gravity" tattooed on my left foot surrounded by musical notes that go across my foot and wrap around my ankle. So that kept me going thinking about my long term goals.

Voodoo comes on - that makes me feel intense and gritty for a lack of a better word.

Katy Perry? Well that's just fun and bouncy and makes me feel like dancing so I'm doing arm movements and acting like a nut.

The variety keeps it interesting for me.

I usually listen to songs with attitude or empowering lyrics, regardless of the speed. Recently,
"Drive" - Client
"Ridin' Solo" - Jason Derulo
"Piece of Me" - Britney Spears
"Misery (Bimbo Jones Radio Edit)" - Maroon 5
"Attack It!" - Arashi
"Push the Envelope" - The Asteroids Galaxy Tour
"Ways and Means" - Snow Patrol

I also listen to a fair amount of techno/trance because the buildup of the music works well when doing interval training.

Great thread :)

I also love I Gotta Feeling, Misery, Fighter, Evanescence, Katy Perry and Will Smith.

How about Bon Jovi, John Mellencamp, Gwen Stefani, Chad Kroeger or Nickelback?

Some fun songs- Now That We Found Love (Heavy D and the Boyz), Bustamove (Young MC), Fire Burning (Sean Kingston), Dynamite & Break Your Heart (Taio Cruz), Crazy (Gnarls Barkley)

Have fun working out!

I can't wait to workout toorrow as this thread led me to add some new songs... here they are:

Black eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling, Rock That Body, Meet Me Halfway
Fighter - Christina Aguilera
U Can't Touch This - MC
If I Had You - Adam Lambert
Britney- Circus, Hold It Against Me
Ke$ha - we R Who We R

80s music - old school Madonna, MJ...amongst many other 80s band :D

I wish I was a teenager in the 80s instead of just a kid. That was the BEST decade ever! Time Machine? Forget Marty McFly going back to the 50s...I would go straight to the 80s and then press the rewind button after 1989 was over.

I like a lot of club-type music: electro, house, drum and bass. I tend to go for long mixes that last my entire run, as you don't have those tense few seconds of silence between tracks.

You can download this guy's mixes for free. My favorite is the "History of Italo Disco Vol. 5" - just the right speed for a comfortable yet inspired jog. There are dozens upon dozens on the site:

my new favorite is "This is the New Year" by Ian Axel (the theme song to the MTV show I Used to Be Fat)

I love to listen to classic rock/heavy metal when I walk/run.

AC/DC- Highway to ****
U2- Sunday Bloody Sunday
Ronnie James Dio- Last in Line
Led Zeppelin- Immigrant Song
Megadeth- Angry Again
Deep Purple- Stormbringer

F*** You by Cee Lo is a fun one to work out to as well, haha.

For me it is kind of a toss up. I have two play lists. I have one that is nothing but 80's hair metal. For some reason when I am working out and "We're not going to take it' or "Cum on feel the Noise" starts blasting I tend to get a boost of energy.

I also have a playlist of Japanese Rock that Is a lot of fun. Most again 89's and 90's bands but very peppy and keeps your moving.

I love listening to La Roux when I work out, her song "Bulletproof" is my anthem :P Actually, any dance-heavy pop is on my workout playlist (e.g. Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, No Doubt, Black-eyed Peas, etc).

I tend to pick hi-tempo music, because apparently it makes you exercise more and harder. I can't link it (not enough posts), but there's an article on the NYTimes blog about it called "Phys Ed: Does Music Make You Exercise Harder?" if you want to check it out.
