    Depends on what I'm doing.

    For running I LOOOOVE Kashmir by Led Zeppelin. It's a long song with an unchanging beat that lets me just zone.

    For something intense I like "Push It" by Salt-N-Pepa. Not really my style of listening music, but it motivates me well.

    Weight Lifting I go with something easier since I'm not getting my heart rate up as high.

    Some people need the beat more and some people need motivating lyrics more... its fascinating!

    I think the best songs combine the two (like the before mentioned "Push It") but I definately lean more on beat.

    Other great songs to work out to...

    Scorpions -- "Rock You Like a Hurricane"
    Pearl Jam -- "Even Flow"
    Micheal Jackson -- "Smooth Criminal"
    Boston -- "Foreplay/Long Time"
    Europe -- "The Final Countdown" (very disappointing if it's not the last song)
    B 52's -- "Love Shack"
    Elton John -- "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting"
    Aerosmith -- "Dude Looks Like a Lady"
    The Killers -- "When You Were Young"
    Queen -- "Another One Bites the Dust"
    Young MC -- "Bust a Move"
    Kansas -- "Carry On Wayward Son"

    Till I Collapse - Eminem
    "'Cause sometimes you feel tired,
    feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up.
    But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
    and just pull that *kitten* out of you and get that motivation to not give up
    and not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse."

    Fighter- Christina Aguilera
    1,2 Step- Ciara
    Hot N Cold- Katy Perry
    Live your Life- TI Feat Rihanna
    Stronger- Kanye West
    Bleed it Out- Linkin Park
    Bad Habit- Offspring
    So What- Pink

    I love this thread! I can get some new songs :smile:
