Workout Playlist

I'm needing some new music to get me motivated while working out. I listen to more rock music but during my workout I need something that has a good fast beat. I just added Katy Perry's Dark Horse. Something like that would be great. What do you recommend from your playlist?

    Here's mine:

    Don't Stop Believing, Journey
    Stronger, Kelly Clarkson
    Burn, Ellie Goulding
    Wake Me Up, Avicci

    And my nerdy stuff from the Pitch Perfect Soundtrack:
    Bellas Finals
    Don't Stop the Music
    Since U Been Gone
    Cups

    What I do is go on Amazon and look for the workout compilations (like, rock workout music) and listen to the samples and buy that way. I mean, aside from my Pitch Perfect nerd stuff ;)
