    It always changes but right now:

    Awolnation - Sail (Unlimited Gravity Remix)
    Taylor Swift - I Knew You Were Trouble (remix)
    Mackelmore - Can't Hold Us
    Fall Out Boy - My Songs Know What you Did in the Dark

    Oh I forgot to put my reasoning. Songs that have ridiculous melodies or a ridiculous driving rhythm (ridiculous meaning goosebumbs-inducing) really tap into my adrenaline. This is purely personal though, and I know running to TSwizzle isn't everyone's cup of tea!! :)

    Laugh all you want, but Britney Spears "Baby One More Time" has a great pace!

    I use http://jog.fm/workout-songs and use songs that are around 96 BPM (you can search by BPM).

    You can also try http://www.digitaldjtips.com/2011/01/how-to-bpm-analyse-all-of-your-mp3s-for-free/ and it will scan your iTunes library and tell you the BPM of all of your songs!

    If I'm not running at BPM and doing a regular workout, my go to is Songza's "Y'All Ready For This - 90's Jock Jams" playlist (there's an app for it) at http://songza.com/listen/y-all-ready-for-this-90s-jock-jams-songza/ I mean really, I love running to Whoomp! (There It Is) and Kris Kross!

    I'm sure my favorites will expand as I add more to my iPod but right now it's:
    Queen "don't stop me now" (Current favorite, makes running bouncy and fun)
    Kenny Loggins "danger zone" (HEY! No Judging!"
    Kenny Loggins "Footloose" (Again, no judging)
    Michael Jackson "Thriller", "Billy Jean", "Beat It"

    Green Day, David Bowie, CCR, Journey, Fall Out Boy,

    I once went for a run in the dark and a thunderstorm started in the near distance with a lot of lightning and thunder. I had on AC/DC's "Hell's Bells" and it was magical.

    Fame (yes, from the movie)
    Greased Lightnin' (yes, from the musical)
    Sexy and I know it (I am getting bored of this song though)
    Go Harder (This song I put at the end for my last stretch. It's by 'Off the Record'.

    What ever sounds good is what I run to!

    Skrillex - Bangarang
    Flo Rida - Good Feeling
    Nelly - Hey Porsche
    Wiley - Heatwave (Kat Krazy Extended)
    Wiley - Reload
    Pitbull - Feel this moment
    Pitbull - Give me everything
    Kanye - Clique
    Mann - Buzzin

    Could name a lot more, sometimes I listen to songs that make me think about life (eg. Passenger - Let Her Go)

    So many good ones!!! But lately I've been listening to The Joy Formidable's entire "Wolf's Law" Album...Love it!!! There are a few slower songs, that I can skip if I need to, but in general the driving guitar, drum and piano is awesome to run to.

    "Bats" is especially good to run to.

    New York Dolls - Personality Crisis...makes me smile while I run
    haha nice! I used to be all about the new york dolls!

    Modern Life Is War- dead ramones

    As for reasoning, I saw them play it a couple of times and hearing it brings back those memories, which get me pumped.
