I put together a playlist and shuffle it for surprises. But, there are some mellow songs on there (ok for warm up) so I need to make a new one.

But. I like older stuff and a variety...

Vacation and our lips are sealed-go go's
My best friends girl-cars
Hey Julie- Fountains of Wayne
New Sensation-inxs
Stone in love-Journey
Carry on wayward son - Kansas
Hanging by the moment - Lifehouse
All these things that I've done - Killers
I melt with you - modern English
Time for me to fly-reo speed wagon
Under pressure-queen
Come sail away - Styx
Rude-magic
Chasing cars-snow patrol

good lord I was starting to feel old and uninformed, and then YOU came along! thanks. I will add I don't want your love and white lines- both from Duran Duran

Kakeslyn

Danza Kuduro - Don Omar

I was coming here to post this one! It's the one song that's always included in my workout playlist.

If you use Pandora, there are some premade stations that are pretty good.

Sample playlists:
Pop and Hiphop Power Workout (Iggy Azalea, Pitbull)
Rap Strength Training (Eminem, JayZ, Lil Wayne)
Hard Rock Strength Training (Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Papa Roach- Hey, I didn't choose them)
Pop Fitness (Katy Perry)
Dance Cardio (there's where you'll find your Britney Spears)
Classic Rock Power Workout (AC/DC, Guns N Roses)
Spinning Radio- I listen to this one at work. Haven't tried it while working out yet.

There's even Country Workout or 80's Cardio if either of those are your thing. And a few others. Just type workout in the search button for genre and they'll pop up.

WhatAnAss

When I'm lifting, I like hearing songs about the butt....

Back that *kitten* Up by Juvenile
*kitten* 'n Titties by DJ Assault
Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-a-lot
Pull Over by Trina

Great_Mazinga

Wagner's Flight of the Valkyries.

I feel like frickin' THOR riding a hurricane, then smahsing through a glacier.

It gets my war face on. RARHHH!!

Boogie Wonderland - Earth, Wind & Fire

jimmyalice1984

I'm Focused Now by Ashanti :glasses:

omgitscharlie

Stop Sign by Angelique Sabrina and Shontelle.

Good rhythm and catchy lyrics.

ExRelaySprinter

If i'm on the Treadmill, i'll listen to UK Garage (not to everyones taste i know).
But it somehow makes me Run faster.

Marilyn0924

One of my quick mixes on the elliptical, it's all over the place, and it changes constantly, sometimes more pop, other times I throw some metal into the mix if I'm feeling ornery.

warm up: Rock the Casbah - The Clash
Song 2 - Blur
Happy - Pharrel Williams
work it!: Hit that perfect beat boy - Bronski Beat
The Cry Forum - Mother Mother
Gold Guns Girls - Metric
Mr. Blue Sky - ELO
Breathing Underwater - Metric
Turn to Stone - ELO
Synthetica - Metric
cool down: Personal Jesus - Depeche Mode
More than a Feeling - Boston
Jump in the Line - Harry Belafonte

I've been listening to some older stuff lately that I've been getting free from Amazon Prime. Some favorite tracks include:

Holding Back the Years - Simply Red
Into the Night - Santana featuring Chad Kroeger
Smooth - Santana featuring Rob Thomas
More Than a Feeling - Boston
The Chain - Fleetwood Mac

I listen to the entire albums, but these are some of my favorite tracks while zooming along on my bike.

Moriarty_697

Here are a few favourites:

Aside by the Weakerthans (probably the most literary workout tune ever but a good one at a great tempo)
Great Expectations by The Gaslight Anthem
Holiday in Cambodia by The Dead Kennedys
Bonzo Goes to Bitburg by The Ramones

Some days, though, I'm I'm liable to just embrace my teenage metalhead roots and spend some quality time with Metallica's Master of Puppets. It's an acquired taste, for sure, but it gets the blood flowing.

kshadows

Running, I like pop-y, top 40ish stuff:

Can't Hold Us - Macklemore
Club Can't Handle Me - Flo Rida
OMG - Usher
Play Hard - David Guetta

For lifting, it's more like rocking out.

Anything Avenged Sevenfold
Breaking Benjamin
Awolnation
Skillet
3 Days Grace
Seether

maizerage66

Du Hast - Rammstein
The Only - Static X
Marijuana - Yelawolf
No One Gets Left Behind - Five Finger Death Punch

Enemy - Sevendust
Black - Sevendust
Move - Ludacris

ruffnstuff

Right now I'm a bit obsessed with Jenny Lewis's new album, Voyager, so I've been listening to the whole thing every lift session for the last month. She friggin' kicks *kitten* (but is legit messed up!).

For cardio workouts I just need a fast beat.

krokador

Probably not your taste but I'll go with

Digital Summer - Come On

SarahRuthRuns

Following. Need a new playlist desperately. Updating my music is on my to-do list.

Oh, and if I wanted a song to tell me to work I would likely choose Iggy Azalea's "Work" over Britney Spears. But that's just my preference.

msk3001

For me 80s hits work best Among my favorites: "Far from over" from Frank Stallone, "Never" from Michael Gore (I love seeing Kevin Bacon dance) and "(We dance) So close to the fire" from Tommy Faragher... More recent "This is how we do" from Katy Perry and "Burn it down" from Awolnation.

I put the complete discography for Rage Against the Machine on shuffle.
