    Eminem is by far my favorite music to run to. The song "Lose Yourself" really gets me pumped up!

    Christian rock

    I listen to a very surprising amount of Christian rock, haha. My favorite band in the entire world is Red (treated myself to a Red hoodie for losing 5lbs :P ) . They're hard rock, and fun to run to.

    If you've never heard them, here are a couple tunes from their shiny new album:

    Enjoy! I'm curious to see if you like them :)

    ... seems I have to edit almost every post of mine today. geez...

    I copy and pasted them all into a YouTube playlist. :)

    Have you ever tried Google Music? I use it for all my music. Just upload your music to the Google server, download the app, and you're on your way. You can use RealPlayer to download youtube videos and cconvert them to MP3 right there so you can use them as music instead of video.

    Just about any 80s rock tune seems to run about the same tempo... May try some Journey????

    Even if you don't like a lot of rap or hip hop, you might want to try All Day, an album by Girl Talk. It's all upbeat and samples from over 300 songs from classic rock to pop to gangster rap, lol. It's very upbeat and I don't find myself dragging during any of it, perhaps because it's just little snippets of all sorts of music so it keeps me on my toes, literally.

    The Strokes are similar and upbeat. I recommend "You Only Live Once" and "Taken For A Fool" , but all of their songs are very good running songs.

    Doesn't sound like your genre of music but I find that electronic dance music is really good for running. It tends to have a fast beat and stays consistent (and those bass drops are great for your intervals, ha ha). I like the poppier more accessible EDM....David Guetta is my favorite. I could run forever to "Titanium" and the lyrics are great too!!!!

    Girl Talk - Feed The Animals is one of the all time best work out albums! It's 300+ songs all very expertly mashed up by an awesome DJ! It never quits and there are even these perfect parts where it says "Don't stop! Don't stop!" So motivational and upbeat ^.^

    I have a free app called DJ Tempo and if I hear a song I like I check it's tempo and throw it on my "Running" playlist or my "Serious Running" playlist depending on the tempo.

    Are you Gonna Go My Way - Lenny Kravitz
    Respect Feat. Scratch - Pink

    Just a Job To Do - Genesis
    Let It Will Be - Madonna
    Givin The Dog A Bone - AC/DC
    Love Shack - The B-52s
    Shame - Evelyn "Champagne" King

    can't believe no one mentioned 30 Seconds to Mars? Greek Fire is also great they are always in my top favorites.
    already in a playlist

    these are the 2 that seem most relevant, and you might not already have them,
    feel free to use any of the playlists on there. there's also a really long one, which all of the types of music in one.

    also, what about run to the hills by Iron Maiden?

    or Dragonforce?

    they keep deleting it from my play list, but the newest song from 30 seconds to mars, up in the air is also great for running.

    I never thought Def Lep, AC-DC....

    It's really weird, because I don't generally listen to that hair band, 80s kinda rock...but I love it when I run. I listen to the AC-DC station on Pandora a lot when I run...so lots of that 80s rock.
