I know that this topic has been posted before, but I am looking to update my work out playlist and am looking for some suggestions. Especially looking for fast songs with a beat to keep me going while I am running! What are your favorites?

    Metal. I use Metallica, Hatebreed (no, they aren't a hate group, lol), Avenged Sevenfold etc. And some rap. LL Cool J (Old school- I'm bad) and Jay-Z. I use a mix. I have an Android and I use the app PowerAmp ($4.99). It's the best player and replaces my iPod. Hope this helps!

    I wish my gym had free wi-fi, then I could use Pandora!

    Otherwise, I just keep a running playlist in iTunes that I sync with the iPod. I mentioned this in another thread just yesterday but the artists will range from

    Eminem and other rappers (old school rocks, too!)
    Blink 182 / Offspring / Foo Fighters and other 90s alternative
    Chemical Brothers / Moby / Fatboy Slim...
    Green Day / 3OH3 / Black Keys / 311
    Sublime
    Justin TImberlake / Lady Gaga / Black Eye Peas / Outkast
    Rage Against the Machine / Korn
    Flogging Molly

    and way more.

    Yay!! I find that I can listen to majority of jam bands while power-walking. There are a few Phish songs that will get me going: Chalkdust Torture, Runaway Jim, Down with Disease, Weekapaug Groove, Antelope... and then really the only Dead song I could get into was St. Stephan. I could see Keller, and have worked out to Rusted Root but only their song Ecstasy. The Who- do you have Won't Get Fooled Again? If not you should throw it in there too :)

    I run outside usually so Pandora wouldn't work for me. Aqua, nice, I haven't listened to Aqua in years. Maybe I should download a song or two.
    The Rocky Horror Soundtrack! HaHa I dunno why but Time Warp gets me goin! also Ke$ha. *****cat Dolls, and other 90's/ early 2000's bands

    I can see how Time Warp could get ya goin'.

    Thanks for the other suggestions. Got a few ideas :)
