I"m looking for music that has a good beat to it. Something I can run to. Now I am almost 50, but like most pop music that's clean. Any suggestions? I tried to find an interent site that listed such music, but found nothing.
Ideas?

    Adele has some songs that I like to run to. "Rolling in the Deep" & "Rumor has it."

    I use Pandora... It streams on my cell phone just like an MP3 Player would. They have a good selection of music... just tell them what you like and they will add in songs that match your taste. I prefer to listen to something with a good fast beat so I told it to pick songs like David Guetta. Keeps me pumping all AM. Most of the songs are fairly PC and you can skip/dislike anything that isn't.

    I try to keep my music with a faster beat that will match my strides. Here's what's on my play list right now:

    Duck Sauce: Barbra Streisand
    Britney Spears: I wanna go
    Maroon 5: Moves like Jagger
    Ke$ha: Blow
    Jennifer Lopez: On the Floor
    Queen: Fat Bottom Girls
    Kanye West: Stronger
    The White Stripes: Seven Nation Army
    Afrojack feat Eva Simons: Take over control
    Britney Spears: Til the world ends
    U2- Vertigo

    If you have an Android phone, you can download an app called Music Download, and it will let you download songs for free and hold them on your SD card. Then just throw it in an exercise playlist and your good to go. :)

    Have you looked into podcasts on itunes?

    They are free to download. I love podrunners "breakthrough" while running. It's a 158bpm track & is awesome!

    I agree...I love working out to her "21" album.
