      I personally like Classic Rock power workout radio on pandora. That is, if you like classic rock music. It gets me going every time.

      also buckcherry, maroon 5, and pitbull

      One song I can keep on repeat and never get tired of working out to, is Janelle Monae's "Tight Rope". So up beat and so positive. Songs that really mean something to me, that I can relate to, and of course a hot beat, is what get's me through a long 1hr workout.

      I find aggressive or inspiring music the best to workout to for me personally

      Godsmack, - quite a few of their songs
      Eminem - alot of his music especially his diss tracks
      50 Cent - his older material
      Linkin Park - the edge, headstrong, wreches and kings
      (Just a few off top of my head of the aggressive music)

      Errinio Morricone - Exctasy of gold
      300 soundtrack metal remix
      Falolous ft jeramiah - its my time
      Tpain and Maino - all the above
      Eminem - Lose yourself
      Flo Rida - good feeling
      (just a few of the inspiring or epic)


      ooooh and the greatest motivation of all time has to be the ROCKY IV SOUNDTRACK, Burning Heart, No Easy Way out and Going the distance are just amizingly awesome

      If I'm at the gym, it's usually a pop/dance mix with variations on the theme of "hot chick," like Sexy and I Know It, Sexy B*tch, Moves Like Jagger, Low, Right Round, On the Floor, etc.

      If I'm running, it's up-tempo alternative with bands like the Foo Fighters, Muse, The Black Keys, Dropkick Murphys, Weezer, The Killers, Foster the People, Young the Giant (My Body is an AWESOME song for when you're pushing hard... "my body tells me no, but I won't quit, 'cause I want more"), Beck, Franz Ferdinand, etc.

      Pandora has an Alternative Endurance station that's pretty good, too. Lots of The Fratellis.

      I'm a child of the 80s and my work out music shows it. AC/DC, Def Leppard, and so many more. My favorite motivating one right now is Good Vibrations...ahh, Marky Mark...

      I like anything Eminem, Linkin Park, Jay z, and my favorite of all time is Requim of a Dream - beastly beat that forces you to run as if you are running for your life:)
