Workout Music

paralyzer--finger eleven (driving)
rock the casbah--the clash (who doesn't love the clash?)
crazy--seal (can be hypnotic)
don't stop (til you get enough)--michael jackson (up tempo, cheezy fun)
ain't that a kick in the head--dean martin (weird, i know...but fun)
bombs over baghdad--outkast (this one can kick your butt on the treadmill if you keep the beat!)
fuego--the cheetah girls (i know i know! it's embarassing to put on the list...but it's a fun beat)
are you gonna be my girl--jet (this one's hot)
caught out there---kelis (this one's a cheatin' man hatin' song...so it works for me)
are you gonna go my way or american woman--lenny kravitz (lenny...'nuf said)
mambo number five--lou bega (so dorky, but so fun)
makes me wonder--maroon five (good stuff)
lapdance--N.E.R.D (smarty rap)
unwritten--natasha bettingfield (girly...maybe?)
when did your heart go missing--rooney (this one's sort of eighties rock-ish...love it!)
bring 'em out--TI (good stuff)
switch--will smith (aggressive beat and fun)


If I didn't have my music...literally, the boredom of indoor cardio work would kill me. These are some good ones that I like...up tempo, easy to run to and so on.

I think Timbaland's Shock Value, Louis XIV, Libertines, Shakira, and some Amy Winehouse are great workout music.

Here's some I listen to....don't laugh.....

Pat Benetar - All Fired Up
Survivor - Eye of the Tiger
Don Henley - Get Over It
Hawthorne Heights- Pens and Needles or ANYTHING BY THEM (they are the best)
AFI - Miss Murder
The Killers - When You Were Young AND Somebody Told Me
Hall and Oates - You Make My Dream Come True
Dead Or Alive - You Spin Me Round
Karate Kid Sndtrk - Your'e The Best Around:laugh:
Skid Row - Youth Gone Wild
Fall Out Boy - Dance, Dance AND Thanks for the Memories
All American Rejects - Move Along
Bob Seger - Against the Wind
Heart - Barracuda
John Cougar Mellancamp - The Walls Come Tumblin' Down
AC/DC - Back In Black or Thunderstruck
Nine Inch Nails - Black as a Hole
Breaking Benjamin - Just Like You, Breakdown, and Diary of Jane
Taking Back Sunday - (like em all)
Evanescence- (like em all)

I'm gonna stop there before I embarrass myself further.:blushing:

i find dance music is good coz u can keep to the beat easily

Hi-- Thanks for posting this. I got some new ideas too. :happy:
Alot of what was posted is what I listen to also. Other than I'm not much of an 80's fan. However, I'd like to add the "All the right reasons" album from Nickelback. The songs there have good steady beats too. 99% of my workouts are running (hey, I'm in the military, it's required) So towards the end of my run I like "Rompe" by Daddy Yankee, "Girlfriend" by Avril Lavine, and "Down, Down" by Fall Out Boy because the beat is so pronounced that you can actually make your steps match it and concentrate on that rythm instead of the sound of your muscles screaming "STOP" :laugh:

Have you tried the Booty Mashups? OH MY GOD they're sooo good! You can download three years of the album on the Booty website...can't remember the actual address, but I'm sure you could browse it. It's got some of the best mixes ever like The Jackson Five mixed with Guns N Roses, and Lil Ma mixed with that old song Tequila...
They're so incredibly fun.

Woops thats Bootie. With an --ie.

I'm not going to lie, I love to listen to dance music and even techno when I workout... it's so energizing. Some of the tops on my playlist:

With love - hilary duff
piece of me - britney spears
sorry - madonna
hung up - madonna
mr vain - culture beat (an oldie but a goodie)
anything and EVERYTHING off dance mix 95........lol, not kidding!
everybody dance now - c and c music factory
girlfriend - avril lavigne
suddenly i see - KT Tunstall
Alone - heart
listen to your heart - dht
every time we touch - cascada
fat bottom girls - queen
sweet caroline remix - angelo venuto (soooo good)
promiscuous girl - nelly furtado
fergalicious - fergie
sexy back - justin timberlake

so many more. Even if you are cleaning around the house or doing dishes, put something on and just dance a bit... burns some cals and makes cleaning more fun

SoupNazi, you just listed about half of my playlist!!! LOL:laugh:

Oh My Gosh...there are others out there like me??:noway: We are either really, really cool or really, really nerdy. Let's call ourselves hardcore cool:glasses:

:drinker: Here's to being hardcore nerdy, I mean hardcore cool!

:laugh:

mine is embarassing.
I listen to angry man music as well as showtunes (hey, it gets me going), celine dion (no laughing please), meatloaf, of course those guilty pleasure pop songs, i love listen to modest mouse, scissor sisters - i don't feel like dancing (that song always makes me pick up the pace and i can't stop myself), dolly parton is in the mix, a little marilyn mason (i know thats strange), but ALWAYS always I listen to red hot chili peppers.
...just a lot of random music so I never get bored.
i have eclectic music taste.

Just updated my playlist a couple of days ago. I will give you some of them:

Run to You(:laugh: ): Bryan Adams
Dance Like There's No Tomorrow: Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson
Numb: U2 (This is how I feel on the treadmill sometimes.)
Pocketful of Sunshine: Natasha Bedingfield
The Reflex: Duran Duran
Don't Stop the Music: Rihanna
Extraordinary: Liz Phair
Crushcrushcrush: Paramore
Elevator: Flo Rida featuring Timbaland
Shiver: Maroon 5
When Did Your Heart Go Missing: Rooney (great beat to run with)
Alive: P.O.D.

any of Oojami's albums. He's a turkish guy living in the UK, and he mixes club beats with middle eastern music. bellydancers love Oojami because its so 'user friendly' to people unfamiliar with world music. also good for workouts because the songs have very consistent up-tempo beats 'bellydancing breakbeats' is my favorite album.

Godsmack, Disturbed, Korn is good for those hard days, Linkin Park, Stained, Greenday, alice n chains, GnR (welcome to the jungle is an AWESOME high intensity workout jam!), Old Van Halen, Metallica, some Creed, Nirvana, STP, Velvet Revolver, Foo Fighters, Chris Daughtry, Kid Rock, Perl Jam, Drowning Pool (rough, but pretty good), Papa Roach.

that's all I can think of that's on my ipod, but I have more.
