Hi guys! What kind of music is everyone listening to?
I'm creating a new playlist for the gym-looking for ideas for fast-paced beats for a cardio workout. I love everything so no suggestions are off limits!! Plus we can all share ideas.
Using Pandora stations now: Pop & hip hop power workout radio and Rob Zombie radio

    I used to listen to the Volbeat station on Pandora, but I switched to The Offspring station.

    I do mostly classic rock with some other stuff mixed in. Here are a few currently in my heavy rotation that you might enjoy:

    ACDC - Shoot to Thrill
    Fall Out Boy - Light Em Up/My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark
    MIA - Bad Girls
    Runaways - Cherry Bomb
    Pat Benetar - Heartbreaker
    Queen - Don't Stop Me Now
    Chumbawumba - Tubthumping
    Sound of Guns - Sometimes
    Caesars - Kick You Out and Let the Sunshine In

    And for moments where I need or want to feel particularly awesome, Preliator by Globus.

    I am a Pit Bull fan. His music and the other songs that come up on the Pandora station I built is awesome. I confession, I might have sung out loud once or twice. Oh and on my runs outside...yeah totally sang out loud.

    Just started listening to Pitbull and Lady Gaga, among others recently. Needed some new workout music so I went to the library and checked out all of the Now that what I call music cds. Was pleasantly surprised how much I didn't hate most of the stuff on them.

    I just added a bunch of Junksista & Ayria into my standard industrial/futurepop tracks. I've got a 64GB card in my phone that's now full. *eek* I just put the whole library on shuffle while on the treadmill, skipping through per my pacing. On straight lifting days, I've been listening to whole albums. My current favorite is Die Antwoord and/or Suicidal Tendencies.

    I love working out to GirlTalk, anything from "All Day". Other than that, I listen to a ton of Strome and old-school Daft Punk. All great for getting that heart rate up.

    Oh! And Adam Lambert. I like to pretend that if I run hard enough, he'll become straight. Hasn't worked so far...

    When I would listen to my iPod my go-to, bang out one more mile songs were:
    New Found Glory - Hit or Miss
    Coheed & Cambria - A Favor House Atlantic
    AFI - Girl's Not Grey

    I listen to the 'Pop & HipHop Power Workout' station on Pandora too. And, maybe it's just mine, but it plays so much Pitbull that I've actually been basing my bike workouts around it. Every time a song comes on that Mr. 305 is on, crank the resistance. When he raps pedal as fast as I can. It sounds funny until you're about 20 minutes into a workout...

    I remember looking this up on google once and I don't know if you'd be interested but if you type in something like cardio playlist or something it comes up with a playlist of songs, their times and bpm for different parts of your workout to optimise it with music.
