    I heard that on my run this morning. It's a good one.

    Top three? Hmmm... I would probably say Rock Superstar by Cypress Hill, Lose Yourself by Eminem and Dirrty by Christina Aguilera. They give me a boost at the end of my runs.

    DJ Steveboy's Podrunner Podcast
    Running to the Beats by DJ Peter Canellis
    Or a couple mixes that DJ Giancarlo Chersich did for Jillian Michaels a couple years ago (still good to run to)

    Podrunner and Running to the Beats are both on iTunes. the Jillian MIchaels mixes I pulled off spotify.

    basically I don't like anything with words or the risk that "iPod --> all songs --> shuffle all" may hit something with a crummy running tempo. I will go with "All Metallica --> shuffle" on occassion, but that's about it.

    My boyfriend will find this hilarious when he reads this because we are always joking about our age difference, but I love to work out to swing music from the 1920s and 1930s. Lol, what can I say? I was close with my grandmother and great grandmother, and I guess their music tastes rubbed off on me. :)

    Finally (Victoria Justice)

    Great one - I have this one on my Zombies, Run! playlist - fits perfectly. :smile:

    Top three? Hmmm....just added some new music yesterday and ran with it today.

    Cray Button - Family Force 5 (new on the list and came up about halfway through my 5 miles and was the perfect boost)

    Cobrastyle - Teddybears (been on my list for over a year, always a good one)

    Extreme Ways - Moby (a little Jason Bourne music always makes me want to run!)

    I change it up all the time between rap and rock music.

    Shake That- Eminem

    No Sleep Til Brooklyn- Beastie Boys

    Break Stuff- Limp Bizkit

    This is too hard. I rotate around from tupac, dr dre, disturbed, system of a down, drowning pool, n.w.a. and so on. Somedays I feel like Metallica, Nirvana, or Pantera and other days I need rap or pop music.

    My music choices are very mood dependent.

    We could definitely hang out, have a couple of drinks and listen to some tunes.

    I know this sounds awful and self-defeating, but my long standing favourite workout song is U.G.L.Y by Daphne and Celeste. It amuses me. :laugh: :embarassed:

    Obviously, you have excellent taste in music.

    When I hear "The Night" I can't help but rave. :heart: Disturbed (Device is pretty good, too).

    I usually listen to audiobooks or podcasts while I run. Lately I'm listening to The Leviathan Chronicles, an awesome audio drama I highly recommend. Previously I finished listening to Digital Magic by Philippa Ballantine, also an audio drama but not quite on the same scale as Leviathan Chronicles. For podcasts I like The Bugle, Read it and Weep, This American Life, Skeptics Guide to the Universe, and Astronomy Cast.

    I love music, but I'm actually terrible at picking out my own. I've always had artsy friends to do it for me, but I have fewer of those these days and those ones are busy with their own things.

    Still, audiodramas are absolutely fantastic. ;)

    Lately I have been using the app Songza (free app if anyone isn't familiar with it!) and I love it because I can switch between genres and listen to new stuff each run!

    otherwise if I'm going for my own music.....

    Till I Collapse-Eminem
    Sweat-Snoop and David Guetta
    Porn Star Dancing-My Darkest Days
    Break Stuff-Limp Bizkit
    Titanium-David Guetta
    Push It-Salt-n-Pepper
    The Thong Song-Sisqo (hehe)
    My Songs Know What You Did In the Dark-Fallout Boy
    Let's Get Dirty-Redman


    Sorry....I couldn't stop at 3 :laugh:

    I use Pandora. I created a couple I go to normally depending on my mood. If you create a Sunshine by Lil Flip station it's got 90s popular rap. But lately when I haven't been feeling so gangster, I've created a Goldfinger station and that's a lot of ska/punk.. whatever you want to call it ... Faster paced music to keep me moving.

    Moby - Flower

    Its for push-ups, but still its pretty motivational to keep going.
