    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.

    The "push me through the last bit" song is always Thunderstruck by AC/DC.
  • 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.

    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...
