    Lately, it's been a 175 bpm metronome. I'm trying to learn to run at a higher cadence.

    My favorite is theclassicalstation.org. I'm fortunate that my phone (Moto G) has an FM receiver and I live close enough to the radio station so I don't need to stream, because I run in places where my mobile coverage is spotty. It's never anything I love, but, more importantly, it's never anything ****ty enough that I want to stop and kill the song.

    Check out jog.fm, you can plug in the pace you run and it will give a number of songs that have a beat to match the pace.

    ^^^This! You can also type in a band you like and it will tell what the pace of the songs are...10 min miles, 9 min miles, etc!

    Go onto itunes or amazon and search "running music" there is an entire genre of instrumentals. I like these because they are harder to get sick of (for me) I also like Bangra dance and belly dancing music - fast paced of course. While I'm running I imagine I'm running on the beaches of some tropical island or through an exotic market place or city---just what works for me!

    I was looking at the rest of the list and just thinking that this was a bit of a joke you had put in there. Not sure if serious.

    LOL hey I'm not hating, it just didn't fit to me with the rest.

    Then again, I like the Carpenters and John Denver.

    So there you go.

    I like Skrillex, Steve Aoki, Avicii and other EDM & dubstep. Just make sure to get the radio versions because the extended or original versions of the songs have intros/outros that are a bit boring when working out.

    I haven't read all of everyone else's ideas ( I usually do so I don't copy them) But if I mention some songs someone's already posted (my bad) .... I Like -Breaking Benjamin - "until the end" / Drowning Pool - "let the bodies hit the floor" / Disturbed- " stupefy & Down with the sickness" / Ludacris " Get Back & Move B**** get out the way" / Luke Bryan- "that's my kind of night" / Kip Moore " Something About a truck" / Brantley Gilbert - "Kick it in the sticks" / Eminem- "Rap God" Anyway these are just a few...But Eminem has several motivational songs . I workout to his music all the time. Hope this helps!

    Florence & the Machine - Dog Days Are Over
    Justin Timberlake (most of the 20/20 experience album; Don't Hold The Wall & Body Count)
    Metro Station - Shake It
    Dr. Dre - I Need a Doctor (Ft. Eminem & Skylar Grey)
    Pat Benetar - All Fired Up

    Aside from those, I really like the Zumba mixes because they're upbeat and encourage a high-intensity. I'm also biased because I took Zumba Tone in college and it kicked my butt repeatedly.
