    I have possibly the most random mix of music on my mp3 player. I can go from listening to The Beatles, to System of a Down, to Beethoven, to Lady Gaga. It's amazing. My favourite mix was when my mp3 went from System of a Down to the Olympic fanfare to Bowie. That made my elliptical time much more fun!

    I have a similar mix, it's always nice when the mp3 surprises you! although there is an overwhelming amount of metal- i really find Rob Zombie brilliant as workout ( and driving) music.

    Everything from Disco to Rap to Rock to Pop. I randomize the playlist and just skip the songs that are not doing it for me at the time. When I run I find I am a bit more selective.

    I like to listen to classic rock, Kelly Clarkson, and Drop Kick Murphies. But lately I've been listening to stand up comedy. My runs go by a lot faster when I listen to that. However, I'm sure I look like a moron giggling on the tredmill.

    Is listening to megadeth when you train cheesy?

    I need to know, because I'm rather enjoying it.

    I love megadeth. :)

    Me too: all he stuff of theirs I had was on tape and long since lost, but I found that they had done a 'best of' and I found the notion of a megadeth 'greatest hits' so funny I had to buy it.

    My usual playlist is Korn (old school), Slipknot, and Adema.
    Surprisingly, the other day I was doing deadlifts and Billie Holiday came on (my iPod happened to be on shuffle that day). I didn't want to stop in the middle of a set to change it, but I really didn't mind.
    Is that weird??

    Rap and R&B. The kind that makes you feel like you're hard core. Like you own the b*tch. :smokin:

    YES!! The only time I don't have road rage is when I'm listening to metal!

    I listen to Pandora....its either Snoop Dog Radio or Dr. Dre Radio.

    I hate rap music, but I noticed I can get into it when Im at the gym. It gives me the motivation.

    I like alot of those. I also throw in some Pink, Lady Gaga, Dead Mau5, Trace Adkins, Toby Keith, VNV Nation, Anders Manga....needless to say, what I listen to is all over the board. About the only thing I don't have on my playlist is rap. I've never been big into it, and most of the newer stuff is crap, imo. If I can sing/dance to it, I usually listen to it. My husband, on the other hand, is definitely much more of a metalhead.

    I listen to Van Morrison - Moondance as I'm getting things set up to lift. It kind of erases anything else that may get in my way for my workout. Then I flip on Spotify with a Skrillex or Deadmau5 radio and let the music spin.

    For lifting, I couldn't care less. Music, books, TV, whatever.

    For running... anything that has the right tempo. I have an iPod list with a really bizarre collection of music, from marching songs to Russian pop music, and the only thing it all has in common is it's all got the same meter. :P

    When I'm running, Classic Rock! haha I don't know why, I think it's easier for me to get through when I can sing every word to a good song!

    When I'm toning, hip hop and rap

    Whatever is in my LastFM library mix. I've got over 800+ artists in there, & 10,000 loved tracks, so I get a mix & a variety. It keeps me entertained by what comes on.

    If I use Pandora, it varies what station. Usually anything between:
    Nine Inch Nails.
    Skinny Puppy.
    The Sisters Of Mercy.
    Stabbing Westward.
    Erasure.
    Depeche Mode.
    The Cure
    etc..

    But then I dig pop, & oldies stuff too, so mostly anything that's in the library.
