I listen to metal/techno when I run/workout so I'm probably not what you're looking for but I listen to DIO, Mobile Death Camp, Mindless Self Indulgence, Daft Punk, Sonata Arctica, Slayer, GWAR, etc. Something heavy and fast keeps me going.

Specific Songs:
Shut Me Up - Mindless Self Indulgence
Full Moon - Sonata Arctica
Rainbow in the Dark - DIO
Sexicutioner - GWAR
Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger - Daft Punk
Vicious Smile - Mobile Death Camp
Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden
Raining Blood - Slayer

Depends on my mood. If I'm feeling uber happy and energetic, upbeat latin-ish tunes (ex. Livin La Vida Loca). If I'm feeling angry I listen to fast and angry rock (certain Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, Korn, Disturbed) songs. Suring cool downs I listen to classical piano or chilled out mixes (Moonlight Sonata, or something like "Serene Dream" by Kidneythieves and "Honeythief" by Halou).

I just made my high energy playlist this week, I have so far used it twice and it really is VERY good.

(obv that's my own personal opinion I created a playlist that was supposed to see me through a 30 minute workout and it ended up at 5 and a half hours hehehe oops)

I find I am motivated by a number of different musical styles, from rock and rap to soul and even a little Jazz music....my personal favourites of this week are; Anything by Tenacious D, Stevie Wonder "We can work it out", Nina Simone "I wish I knew how it feels to be free", David Bowie "Queen *****" and "Pacemaker" by Jamie T.

Since I started working out regularly another source of motivation is the folk styling s of the Fleet foxes and Laura Marling (maybe I'm just a bit weird but when I do my yoga, I find Folk music is really helpful...)

Anyway that's enough of a peak into my spooky world.....

Hope you find some new music that suits you.

Techno, hardstyle, sometimes hop-hop and METAL keeps the heart rate up (and helps me do an extra 15 minutes)!!! Die Antwoord and MSI are really great. FaVoRiTeS!

Just upbeat music here. This morning it was the music choice channels 80s and party favorites. Sometimes its my Ipod. Love some Daddy Yankee and Don Omar. Skrillex to NKOTB.

Muse is awesome, I work out to them as well. You are young, if you like Muse, you should listen to their inspiration...Radiohead, also amazing to work out to! I think you might like Radiohead if you haven't heard them. I Love to listen to Supernatural by Santana, great rhythms and beats to keep you movin' like crazy! Sometimes the Sound track from Moulin Rouge, and Gwen Stefani too.

Bikini27

Pitbull, Beyonce, T.I., 30 Seconds to Mars, DMX, Rob Zombie....Basically anything with an awesome beat for when I run.

Had to quit using the Arc Trainer at the gym while listening to the booty popping songs...kept dancing while I was on it.... :bigsmile:

I love Pandora! I listen all day every day.

I hate paying for music so don't even utilize the playlists on my Iphone (although I would love to create my own playlists for specific workouts). I've heard you can get free music but I have no clue where so if anyone has any tips to share, I would appreciate it.

So fun to dig through these suggestions and try them. Almost makes me look forward to my workout! LOL
