I have just discovered Pandora. *gasp* :noway: I know, I know, probably the past person in the world to upload it, however my point to that confession is to admit that with that app I am discovering a lot of new songs that I am adding to my playlist. My current go to song is "Turn Down for What" by DJ Snake and Lil Jon. It's a super stupid song that I can imagine girls twerking to but the BPM get me going. lol

Sooooo, what is your current fave/go to song to get that burn started?

    Old skool but I can see why that gets you pumped up. It reminds me of - Bulls on Parade by Rage Against the Machine. Awesome, kick some @ss type song.

    I had to stop listening to Dark Horse. It was played way too much and I got burned out quick. Timber and Burn are both great songs. I will have to check out the Bruno Mars ones since I have never heard of them.

    I stopped using Pandora and started in on Spotify because I can make my own playlists which I LOVE! Got worn out on my playlist and whipped out Pandora last night and it was so refreshing to hear a new mix! I've written down the songs that I don't have from the above lists too to add them to my S-list.

    Club Can't Handle Me - Flo Rida ft David Guetta
    Young and Beautiful - Lana Del Ray vs Cedric Gervais
    Don't Cha - PCD
    Gettin Over You - David Guetta ft Fergie, LMFAO
    Blurred Lines (Will Sparks Remix) - Robin Thicke Ft TI & Pharrell
    Sexyback - JT
    Yeah! - Usher
    Whatcha Say (Klubjumbers Remix) - Jason Derulo
    My First Kiss - 3OH!3 ft Ke$ha

    in. I need to add more variety. I love listening to Happy right now when I'm working out, and Slate had a great list on spotify that I grab every so often: https://www.facebook.com/Culturefest/posts/10151646578828473

    I usually tune into Digitally Imported (www.di.fm or App), pick a genre (usually one of the Oldschool channels), and let DI do the rest.

    Every time I bike ride or jog, I use the Pandora station "Dance Cardio". I really pumps me up!

    Oh, and some of my band's music really gets me going (if you're into a hard rock sound.) It's called Watts & Delzer, and you can find us on itunes and more! (Slightly shameless plug...tee hee)

    I listen to all kinds of music, but what I find that keeps me motivated the most is hip hop. Not the general, fun club type stuff but the angry push yourself music. A typical workout playlist contains a lot of DMX and Eminem, artists like that. I believe, Till I Collapse by Eminem has to be the one that really kicks me into high gear during a workout. I did however, recently add Turn Down for What to the list.

    Pandora's "Hip Hop Workout" list has some great stuff on it as well. I'll flip it on if I get tired of the ipod rotation.

    Bulls on Parade is one of my fav workout songs, as is anything by RATM.

    I also like Control by Puddle of Mudd, anything by Queen, Disturbed, Godsmack. For a change I mix it up with SexyBack by JT, Low by FloRida, Decode by Paramore.

    I recently found out that "Danger Zone" from Top Gun by Kenny Loggins is a great song for me to play when I run. I logged my fastest mile ever while listening to that song.
