    Love LMFAO! Shots, Sexy and I know it, Party Rock Anthem, etc.

    I also love angry music, like Snap Your Fingers Snap Your Neck by Prong. Grind by Alice in Chains is good for a slower run.

    But the most fun is Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. They do really fast pop-punk covers of oldies and classics. I love their version of Science Fiction, Double Feature from Rocky Horror Picture Show. And a lot of their songs mashup two songs in one. On The Road Again opens with the riff from Misfits Astro Zombies. Eleanor (gee I think you're swell) starts like London Calling by the Clash.

    Call your Girlfriend by Robyn is my new obsession. I challenge myself to keep pace with the beat, and no matter how tired I am it works :D

    I found out today that my Dave Edmonds Greatest Hits is great for the treadmill -- faster tempos than most other songs. It's kind of rockabilly, which is funny because the guy is actually British and sings with an American accent.

    If You Want Blood - AC/DC

    This is the first track of all my exercise playlists because it has a mind blowing guitar riff that sets a heart pounding pace and I love it :)

    Thanks for posting this.. I needed some new songs for my run today and I am definately going to use some of these suggestions... using the youtube to mp3 converter now to load into itunes for my new running play list.

    For me: Anything by Beastie Boys or Black Eyed Peas really keeps me going and the ability to push a little farther or faster. There is a local band The Dirty Guv'nahs that I can run forever to...
