    I use Pandora. Like it or not, I use dubstep and industrial. (*I like it, just not Skrillex. He ruined the fun for everyone.) Dubstep is always 130-145 bpm. I have a DJ friend that does industrial clubs in Detroit so he whips up stuff for me that's at 130.

    Nice choice! Ever listen to Monkey Majik? They did some collabs too.

    I actually don't listen to anything while I am lifting weights as I tend to focus on breathing correctly. I know it sounds stupid, but it seriously helps me push through if I concentrate on breathing properly. If I do cardio (usually a run once a week) I listen to Pandora's David Guetta channel.

    Somehow I missed that Pandora has channels! I've only used it by typing in a song, and say play songs like this. Good to know! Will check out the work out channel today.

    Depends what I am doing. For Yoga ocean waves mixed under "New age" relaxing or light classical pieces For my C25K training that I've just started (and suck at lol) the podcasts I downloaded for my MP3 player. For anything else that dose not already come with music (I find that tends to be best or the beats can get out of step) upbeat dance, trance, dupstep mixes I take a shine to on youtube or more often then not old school (1920's-1940's) boogie woogie swing (I know... I'm weird :laugh: )

    I have an excercise playlist on my iphone- it's all fun stuff that gets me into the elliptical, treadmill, etc… here's a sampling:

    Madonna: Express Yourself
    Dropkick Murphy's: I'm Shipping Up To Boston
    Lady Gaga: Just Dance
    Nine Inch Nails: Only
    Talking Heads: Pyscho Killer
    Red Hot Chili Peppers: Love Rollercoaster
    Jamiroquai: Black Capricorn Day
    Metallica: Wherever I May Roam
    Beck: E-Pro
    Mika: Grace Kelly
    Led Zeppelin: Misty Mountain Hop

    and the list goes on, but maybe something will catch your ear? Good luck :)

    I second Mika- Grace Kelly. It is a my favorite workout song.

    Everything! I use jog.fm to find songs that match my pace when I run. It really helps to keep me moving when I'm feeling lazy or to slow me down if I'm starting to run at a pace that would cause me to burn out too quickly. Most of the songs I use are around 155-160 bpm, some of my favorites are...
    gin blossoms - follow you down
    rihanna - cheers
    the kooks - she moves in her own way
    vampire weekend - holiday
    passion pit - make light
    I also listen to a lot of rap when I work out (which is odd since I'm certainly not a fan of rap any other time)
