    great suggestions :)
    Im going to give that lame answer we all hate...a little bit of everything really. Mostly indie, but that doesnt go down well with exercise so i tend to crank a little more techno-ish stuff.

    if you have itunes and don't mind cheesy music that will kick your butt into gear and put a zip to your step. Download some Tribute to Glee workouts. OMG I have 1 hour downloaded onto my little ipod shuffle which is what I use to walk with. I must have the music synced to my walking just right cuz it makes me walk a LOT faster.

    I just went and picked the songs I wanted and made my own playlist. LOVE IT

    I just started putting together a running playlist for my couch to 5K progaram. Each are about 150 bpm (or 75). Helps with pacing.

    INXS - Devil Inside
    Pantera - Cemetary Gates
    Survivor - Eye of the Tiger (Rocky, BABY!)
    Deep Purple - Highway Star
    George Thorogood - Move it on Over
    The Knack - My Sharona
    Stevie Ray Vaughan - Pipeline
    Statix-X - Push It
    Rob Zombie - Superbeast
    Sublime - Wrong Way

    I sometimes download Tiesto podcasts from the iTunes library. They are all free and he produces a new one every week. This is more like trance/electronica but helps when you need to power through a workout.

    Make youtube playlists. That's what I did!

    Get into some B.O.B. and all the artists and collaborates with. He has a great build in his music and talks about life outside of the typical rapper's sex and money act.

    if you can handle your music screaming at you i like and listen to these,they are not popular bands so most people don't even know about them, i will save the popular bands for everyone else to list :tongue: these are VERY heavy but help me run under 7 minute miles :laugh: the word alive, the ghost inside, in fear and faith, memphis may fire - some heavy but not quite so much bands: burden of a day, destroy rebuild until god shows (D.R.U.G.S.), destroy the runner,a day to remember,pierce the veil...... my final sugestion, if you have pandora radio you can make " the word alive" station and get ready for your heart rate to stay around 170 :laugh: or if you prefer music you probably know " hard rock strength training" on pandora

    I have a Spotify 'Workout' playlist. Each track is a different body part :D

    I like it Rough: Lady Gaga = barbell squats, bicep curls
    Earthquake: Labrinth = Butt to heel squats, lunges
    Gold, guns, girls: Metric = Kickboxing
    Power: Kanye West = Side squats and knee raises
    Veni vidi vici: Black Lips = situps
    Paper Gangsta: Lady Gaga = bench presses with barbell
    Monster: Lady Gaga = reverse sit ups and crunches
    Thomas Tallis 40 part motet = Yoga and stretch out like a mo-fo


    Im not a HUGE Gaga fan but for some reason those tracks seem to suit me :D
