    I love Anthony Hamilton, not so much for the work out but for the sound. As for a work out...anything upbeat....sorry that isn't much help.

    Depends on what exercise I am doing. If I am running, I like listening to metal such as Through the Eyes of the Dead, Black Dahlia Murder, or Within the Ruins. Makes me feel like a badass.

    If I am dancing, I like to listen to poppy dance music ala Britney Spears, Pitbull, Far East Movement, and lots of other artists I will never admit to listening to outside of this forum or ever listen to without the use of headphones.

    If I am lifting, I keep it gangster and listen to rap. It just makes me feel like I am hard lol

    I usually go to 8tracks.com and you can search for any kind of genre, artist, or even an activity. I like to search their workout playlists because it's usually a lot of fast paced music to keep you pumped up during workouts. I highly recommend it!!

    Superman - 3 Doors Down

    Haha, I think you mean Kryptonite :)

    But I absolutely love that song. It's too mellow for me to workout to but 3 Doors Down is a great band. Also, Seven Nation Army is one of my favorite songs! The White Stripes are wicked workout band.

    Yeah, that's the official name, but I've never called it that. Kryptonite is about weakness, Superman is strength!

    my favorite band is dcfc, not so great for working out though.
    actually, most of my fave songs aren't good for working out. (i like indie bands mainly)

    flaunt - girls loves shoes is excellent though.

    Pitbull has a lot of good stuff for working out, love his version of Shake Sonora, Shakira-my hips don't lie....that song from back in the day "I'm too sexy!"

    Ha! I had to google "DCFC" to understand what you were talking about because I thought it was just a band I had never heard of (which is weird for me.) and then I figured out you meant Death Cab. I always tried to get into them, I never could :|

    I love Indie bands, my goodness. I've been really getting into them lately too. I listen to a HUGE selection of music, and Indie rock/pop is probably one of the main genres I listen to.

    Vampire Weekend, More Amor, Foster the People, Fun., Telekinesis, The Killers, Stars, The Brobecks, The XX, etc.

John Cougar Mellencamp's Hurt So Good, Enrique's I Like It is one of my faves and Escape is great also, Lady Gaga, Billy Idol, Foreigner's Urgent, Madonna, Justin Timberlake, The Backstreet Boys, Lady Antebellum, Bryan Adams, Toby Mac, Blue Oyster Cult's Burnin for you is pretty good, P!nk, Keith Urban, Maroon 5, Matchbox Twenty, Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry and the list goes on. I don't like hard core rap.

    Let's compare, i'm always on the lookout for new music to listen to!

    Actually they do exist - in many different themes... there was a point it was getting to be nothing but repetitive.

    I mix my own music to be honest. I modify the tempo for key workouts as a way to keep a regular rhythm going which also helps me to concentrate on form in 4/4 time. There are only a few pieces of music I have that are in 6/8 time but not many.
