Calling All Music Fans

in Fitness and Exercise
I don't know about everyone else, but when I am working out, I NEED to have some good tunes. Slow tunes can sometimes KILL a workout for me, so I try to have upbeat, hype music to keep me going. But now I need your help!!!

I have been listening to the same running mix for the last year, and while I love whats on here (Jay Z, Kanye, Common, Dead Prez, to name a few) I am feeling the need for some new stuff. So I have a favor to ask:

Can you list your top 10 favorite songs to workout too? I am hoping to find new stuff I have not listened to before; it doesn't have to be new artists, but anything you listen to in order to get you up and going.

I love ALL music, so anything at all will be considered!

Thanks!

    My favourite thing to listen to when i work out (especially if i am doing weights) is Disturbed. They just have the right "i am going to kick this exercise in the a.." attitude :)

    These are in my regular run mix. I would think that many of the songs by these same bands would fit the bill.

    Bodies - Drowning Pool
    Bonfire - Knife Party
    Six - All That Remains
    Not Alone - All That Remains
    The Final Episode - Asking Alexandria
    Arguing With Thermometers - Enter Shikari
    Aisle - The Bunny the Bear
    I Will Not Bow - Breaking Benjamin
    Bonfire - Childish Gambino
    Low - Flo Rida
    The Sound of Truth - As I Lay Dying
    Just Lose It - Eminem
    Fette's Vett - MC Chris

    When I work out, I listen to old school stuff:
    Snoop Dogg
    Warren G
    NWA
    Ice Cube
    2 Live Crew

    For some reason it makes me smile and I can't help but move with it!

    The other day I had a great run while listening to red hot chili peppers' stadium arcadium.

    If I'm running outside then pandora has a great "alternative endurance training" station. Unfortunately my gym is in a basement and I don't get wifi down there =[

    My musical tastes are eclectic! I LOVE Trans-Siberian Orchestra, they have rocking tunes, mostly holiday.
    I made a playlist for working in the yard (my therapy and exercise) that consists of Linkin Park " Living Things", Muse "The Resistance", The Who "Quadrophenia", Savatage "Dead Winter Dead" , Guns & Roses "November Rain", and Mazzy Starr "Into Dust".
    That's just my current yard work list. I get bored easily, and will probably mix it up soon. I agree, you need a beat to keep up the energy. :)
    Good luck!

    I almost hate admitting this, but Korean Pop music is so unrelentingly uptempo that I can't listen to anything else while working out!
    I recommend T-ara, 2ne1, Big Bang, Super Junior, SNSD, BoA (especially her English album) and Hyuna.

    Anything at 120 bpm or faster. Club Phusion on iHeartRadio is great and commercial free.

    it really varies for me depending on mood at the time
    on the track it tends to be ... trick daddy, d12, bone crusher, warrant, l.a.guns, nitro, ozzy, motley crue

    in the gym i lean more towards....slayer, mushroomhead, disturbed, metallica , hatebreed
    but like i said, it changes with my mood

    I like to start with Tribal beats/ psyche in numbers and then veer towards Latin + select Caribbean dance numbers to kick start and maintain an upbeat tempo throughout my workout and my day. I'm a clubber, so anything Dance/Techno/Trance/Electonica - basically anything upbeat and high energy works.

    A sample of my playlist:

    Last Voice's "Jungle."
    Short Change Hero's "Heavy."
    Daddy Yankee's "Limbo."
    Don Omar's "Hasta que salga el sol."
    Don Omar's "Ella no sigue modas."
    Psy's "Gangnam style," right in the middle of my playlist - to crack me up
    Tacabro's "Tacata."
    Alex Ferrari's "Bara bara, bere bere."
    MC Ceja's "Botelleo."
    Swedish House Mafia
    Sia's "Titanium."
    MIA's "Paper Planes."

    Edited to add: Anything Rob Zombie - he just rocks!
