Anyone Listen to Last. FM or Pandora during Workout?

I like cranking up the stereo with Last. FM since it and Pandora allow you to customize the music. If a song comes up I don't like I just say so and it doesn't play that song anymore. If I "like" a song it includes it regularly in my mix. It's pretty terrific.

Right now I am lifting weights and listening to my "art of Noise" station on Last. FM. I'm an older guy and this to me is better than the trancey/hip hoppy exercise music the kids seem to like ;)

If you haven't tried these music streamers yet give them a go. And let me know what "stations" you all like

    I love Last.FM, I use it to scrobble music that I play on Spotify and to create personalized radio stations for me. I don't use it in the gym or for workouts though. I suppose if I had a home gym I would just set up my stereo with my computer, but on the go I just use my MP3 player.

    I workout at the gym when I am home. I use my MP3 player there and it's all hip hop. LOL

    Last. FM is cool because I am always finding new songs. I've wound up buying quite a few on iTunes for my iPod when hiking. When I'm working out in the house it's nice to have the stereo and not be tethered to the earbuds

    I use Pandora. I love that it'll play the songs I 'like' regularly and it makes pretty darn good guesses on what else I might want to hear.

    Not a lot of people seem to use IHeart Radio, but I like it. You can customize stations just like Pandora, but also get tons of radio stations from all over the country.

    I also like Sirius....

    Pandora. That way I can listen to the music I want to, not the shat they play overhead at the gym.

    Yea being able to 'like' songs and give other songs the thumbs down is really cool. I definitely get a good mix of songs I like now.
