    I have a few since I like to mix it up (otherwise I get "immune" to one song all the time).

    "Right Now" (VanHalen)--my fave to end with
    "Dr. Feelgood" (Motley Crue)
    "It's My Life" (Bon Jovi)
    "Thunderstruck" (AC/DC)

    I gotta Feelin - black eyed peas
    raise your glass - pink
    firework - katy perry
    what doesnt kill you makes you stronger - kelly clarkson

    This, as well as Dog Days Are Over - Florence and the Machine and lots of stuff by Kei$ha, Rihanna, or Gaga. Funny but I ONLY listen to this kind of music when I'm working out - I hate it otherwise! LOL

    Me too, Im not a fan of this in the car or anythihng ... very strange!

    I vote Eminem's Lose yourself - its a guilty pleasure - the words really speak to someone who feels themselves on the downside of their goal, kindling the fire to break thru....or maybe I'm just reading too much into it - but I'll tell you, when you are at the toughest part of a workout, the mind is clinging at straws to stay focused on the task, and detached from the pain....Beastie Boy's sabotage comes in 2nd.

    I'll add a few oldies but goodies:

    Cum On Feel the Noize - Quiet Riot
    We're Not Gonna Take It - Twisted Sister
    American Girl & Runnin' Down a Dream - Tom Petty

    and for some reason I like to end with Only the Young - Journey (maybe cause I'm not so young anymore?)

    Runnin' Down a Dream - works for me too!
    Radar Love - Golden Earring
    Runnin with the Devil and You Really Got Me - Van Halen

    Danza Kuduro by Don Omar... freakin love that song.
    Pump It by the black eyed peas works pretty well too.
    Definitely Danza Kuduro and Dale Don Dale! I speak practically no Spanish, but love, love, love reggaeton, bachata, etc. Here's my current set for the elliptical (closest I come to running):

    Daddy Yankee: La Despedida, Lovumba, Ven Conmigo
    Wisen y Yandel: Sexy Movimento, Rakata
    DJ Laz: Move, Shake, Drop
    Nina Sky: Oye Mi Canto
    Pitbull: Blanco, Levantate, Rain Over Me
    JLo & Wisen y Yandel: Follow the Leader

    One song I used to like but I think I'll throw up if I hear one time - International Love. bleh

    Oh man, a couple actually!
    For running, I like a lot of fast tempo yet upbeat and a really strong chorus like:

    Lords of Acid - Undress and Possess
    Madonna - Express Yourself
    Eminem - Tlll I Collapse
    Nicki Minaj - Pound the Alarm
    Rob Zombie - Dragula
    Aphex Twin - Powerpill Pacman
    Nsync - Bye Bye Bye
    Kanye West - POWER
    SKRILLEX - KYOTO ft. Sirah
    Lady Gaga - Scheibe
    Yuksek - Eat My Bear
    ANYTHING BY DAFT PUNK!!! ^______^ love them

    For weight training or bootcamp it's more hard rap or heavy metal, like:
    A Perfect Circle - Judith
    Queen - We Are the Champions
    Minor Threat - Straight Edge
    Jay-Z & Kanye West - Who Gon Stop Me
    Arch Enemy - We Will Rise
    From First to Last - Ride the Wings of Pestilence
    Killswitch Engage - The End of Heartache
