Good cardio playlist?

cschiff · December 2012

Hey MFP users!

Does anyone have an awesome playlist that helps them keep their cardio pumped up? I'm a little sick of my music and would love to know what other people like to listen to!

Thanks

Songza is an app that has a few good playlists for inspiration, but might eat up your data if you use it to listen to their playlists at the gym. There's also a podcast called IndieSoupRunner which has some good tunes.

A few songs I like:

Crystal Castles (featuring Robert Smith) - Not in Love
The Fratellis - Flathead
Florence and the Machine - Kiss with a Fist
Handsome Furs - Talking Hotel Arbat Blues
Joel Plaskett Emergency - Nowhere with You
Murder City Sparrows - Burn in Water
The Killers - Mr. Brightside
Tokyo Police Club - Bambi
Shout Out Out Out Out - Self loathing
K-Os - The Dog is Mine

That said, I like atypical cardio songs . . . I'm not a big top 40 person. So these may not suit you!

At the moment I am rocking a few of these for good cardio:

Dizzee Rascal - Dance Wiv Me
Paralyzer - Fnger Eleven
Push Up - Freestylers (I LOVE this for getting pumped)
Strict Machine - Goldfrappe
Sexyback - JT
Come Around - MIA ft Timbaland
Starlight - Muse
Bloodsport - Sneaker Pimps
Funky Cold Medina - Tone Loc
Send Me an Agel - Zeromancer
The Seed 2.0 - Roots

It's a bit of an eclectic mix, but there is awesome beat all the way through.

Thanks, those both sound like good mixes! I need to amp up my playlists!

The group GIrl Talk does high energy mash-ups of different artists (think Nirvana mixed with Salt N Peppa). Feed the Animlsl is my favorite album. And the nice thing is they're edited to run one into the next so there's no pauses between songs which helps keep you moving!

I found some great songs on this list:

Not to everyone's taste, but this is the stuff that works for me. I try to have a bit of variety but most of the beats etc. are heavy as hell on rap.. so yeah
