    Most of my workout or driving selections are songs you'd hear on BPM on Sirius (Avicii, Kaskade, Tiesto, David Guetta). On my iPod I have a bit of everything from Metalllica to ABBA to Flo Rida.

    Jimmy Buffett wins for sheer number of songs. Of the 1,243 songs in my collection, 304 are Jimmy.

    I used to be one of those metalhead elitists. I was big into real metal. "Kvlt " , like" if you heard of it it's probably not real metal." Sort of elitist.

    Now my rates have definitely expanded but I still love some good underground metal. You'll see stuff in my playlists all over the place.

    Current playlist contains stuff like this;

    black metal: emperor, ceremonial castings, watain, etc
    funeral doom: worship, Ahab, hellight
    power metal: blind guardian, twilightning, Tad morose
    Punk: the virus, casualties , dk, sex pistols
    Rap: tech n9ne, canibus, cannibal ox, razakel
    Indie: trespassers William, the decemberists,engineers
    Post-rock: explosions in the sky, red sparowes
    jazz(ish): heroine and your veins, bohren & derived club of gor

    I have Eminem, Rihanna, Elvis, LAMFO, Kids Scaring Kids, Bob Marley, Police, Linkin Park, Sublime, Anberlin, Classic Crime.....etc etc etc Oh yeah I am sure have some country nessled in there too. :))

    Sounds like me! I'm pretty rap/metal heavy when I work out, but generally I like singer/songwriters and modern folk. Ran. Dom.

    My current gym playlist is mainly Girl Talk, LMFAO, Patrick Stump, TRON Soundtrack, The Lonely Island,and the newest Florence + The Machine.

    Florence + The Machine!!! Everyone should listen to her! (In my opinion)

    Tonight on my way home from work I was stopped by a cop at the gas station! He asked if I was the one he saw walking/running every day. He said he wanted to know what was on my playlist because he's seen me out in the neighborhoods since the summer and he said I always look like I am having a great time. He said he can tell the tempo of the song by how fast my pace is. Then he said....I see you throw a couple dance steps in now and again. THEN he asked me how much I have lost! Said he is amazed at the transformation since summer. Ahhhh gotta love small town cops

    My workout playlist isn't too crazy: just got it filled with techno/ dance songs that help get my body going. Then I got my country that I love to sing the words to in my head and that gets me going as well.
    But my regular playlist consists of anything and everything: mostly metal, rap, R&B, country, and rock but i still got my hip hop and pop, my techno songs, etc.

    My playlist is about 90% indie music, with some random stuff like Nikki Minaj - Super Bass, Maroon 5 - Moves Like Jagger, Skee-Lo - I Wish, Take That etc. thrown in there too. I keep meaning to download some of the music we dance to in Zumba class too, that would make for an interesting playlist...

    I ran the London Marathon for charity last year. Anyone who made a donation to the Alzheimer's Society of £5 could choose a track for me. Many were inspirational - Search For The Hero Inside Yourself, Keep On Running, Don't Stop Me Now, I Will Survive. Some were comic - Fat Bottomed Girls. And some were deigned as pure torture, and very, very obscure.

    Take it from me, Croatian techno is very, very painful on the ears and to run in time to!
