    Mind reader! I was just thinking of starting a topic because I need some new music to run to. :)

    I just got done watching United States of Tara on Netflix, and heard "Come Alive" by Hanni El Khatib on one of the episodes. It's now my go-to song for starting a run!

    (Just watched the video for the first time now.. it's kind of hilarious/disturbing...)

    I hang out with my kids to much, I've been listening to LMFAO. But you can't help but push yourself if your singing "I'm Sexy and I Know It. " lol

  • Anything by Rise Against or Five Finger Death Punch. Basically I want something that gets my blood pumping and nothing does that like fast paced stuff like that.
  • Big Black, Bad Brains, Dead Kennedys, Bel Biv DeVoe and Rocky IV soundtrack. I usually wind down with Leonard Cohen.

    I like your style.

    Rage Against the Machine, System of a Down, Pantera, Slipknot, Metallica, plus some odds and end songs........those are the main ones I play while lifting, or when out on my mountain bike. When walking or riding the stationary, I will either play pandora, shuffle my entire mp3 files, or if the gym has a good show on I will tune into that with my FM tuner.

  • I'm more of a rock girl, personally. XD When I need my blood pumping it's Metallica, Disturbed, Avenged Sevenfold, Three Days Grace, Skillet, Dragonforce, Korn, Nine Inch Nails, The Rival Sons, The Pretty Reckless, a bit of Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson...

    In specific:

    There's an artist on youtube by the name of "bliix" that does rock/metal remixes of pop and hiphop songs. He has a like... 80 song pack for free download SOMEWHERE. Worth iiiit. Especially when you get my mom and I in the same room. She gets the pop and rap, I get my shredding guitar solos. XD

    Make Me Wanna Die and Miss Nothing by The Pretty Reckless. <3 Those ones stick out to me right now.

    OH. And anything and EVERYTHING by Beats Antique for when I'm in a bit more of a dancing mood. :3

    For all the ladies out there Gabriella Cilmi 'On a Mission' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVWA5avUI-0

    Whenever I feel like giving up or ending my workout early, I put this on, turn it way up and knuckle down. The lyrics, beat, everything is just instant motivation.

    Listen to it and you'll see what I mean :)

    I put Pandora on the Rob Zombie channel. That always gets me moving.
