      Shove It by Santigold, and anything by Kanye West or the Arctic Monkeys. i love listening to songs which i know most of the words to, i focus on singing them in my head and it keeps me from checking the clock when i'm on the treadmill - the time flies!

      I like the XXX soundtrack but esp the song Bodies by Drowning Pools and the song from Rammstien. I have a few other but really don't think they are you type of music. But mostly the XXX soundtrack esp if in a bad mood to begin with.

      Some others I like Other Side of Me by G. Wilson and Kid Rock, Kiss my Irish *kitten* by Floggin Molly, And All Jacked up by G. Wilson

      Come to think of it this are all my "OK you have pushed me to far" songs. That seems to be when I work out the best when I am mad. Guess thats my Irish side. :laugh:

      great post! definitely going to add some of people's recs to my playlists. (although i've been listening to audio lectures recently, as i'm studying for board exams... it's miserable, but i feel less guilty about working out. i can't wait to be done with this so i can go back to running to MUSIC.)

      some of my go-to songs:

      bombs over baghdad, outkast
      magic, BOB ft rivers cuomo
      move your feet, junior senior
      chelsea dagger, the fratellis
      here it goes again, ok go
