Anyone have some good workout music? Here is a sample of just a few songs I have in my most recent playlist:
The hand that feeds: NIN She wants to move: NERD Thank me with your hands: Panthers Little Sister: Queens of Stone Age Paint it black: Rolling stones Read my mind, Somebody told me: Killers Song for Clay, I Still Remember: Bloc party Bombs over Baghdad: Outkast Any good suggestions are welcome. |

I used to bench to this stuff (on repeat in the CD player!) in a really dodgy Brazilian gym that was swimming in Deca. Damn those were good days. … engrossed in such factional acts as dreaming different dreams. Last edited by Dorian Gray : 2007-04-25 at 20:22. Reason: removed stuff that was even more off-topic |

I like the Podrunner podcast from iTunes. Techno/dance remixes that last about an hour or so. Good mixes and transitions, steady bpm. Grab a few and choose the bpm rate you want for the day.

Map Of The Problematique - Muse (crazy guitar and vocals put you in the mood)
Poor Leno - Roykopp (atmospheric, moody, good for warm-ups) Run - Snow Patrol (slow, very catchy) In The Clouds - Under the Influence of Giants (straight up 70s fused with modern style) Mr. Brightside (Jacques Lu Cont's Thin White Duke Mix) - The Killers (an even better version of the original) God Is Going to Get Sick of Me - Aberdeen City (good kick drums keep this workoutable) Taking Back Control - Sparta (this one is somewhat generic, but still good) Where The Streets Have No Name - U2 (a classic) Far, Far Away - Ultimate Fakebook (local 90s band) Lights and Sounds - Yellowcard (this is also great for driving fast) Brand New Colony - Postal Service (excellent, really gets me) Extreme Ways - Moby (the song at the end of the original Matrix) Numb - Linkin Park (shut up) Atlantic - Keane (slower, dramatic and neat) Calf - Isan (strange, slow electronic song) Six Days At The Bottom Of The Ocean - Explosions in the Sky (one of my favorites, a little too slow for much besides biking) Hunting For Witches - Bloc Party (high energy, rebellious song) I'm Your Bass Creator - Basshunter (this Swedish electronic artist has a whole album of these types of songs) and the best... In the Morning - Junior Boys (techno-blip thing that is sooo damn catchy) |

Actually, in fairness, I should add to this myself. Here's a selection from my exercise mix playlist:
Panama - Van Halen Sunless Saturday - Fishbone Oxygene (Part II) - Jean Michel Jarre Kashmir - Led Zeppelin Gypsy Train - Toto Won't Get Fooled Again (full length version) - The Who No Lies - Noiseworks Evenflow - Pearl Jam Kalendar - The Pursuit of Happiness Gravity - The Superjesus One Vision - Queen Cult of Personality - Living Colour The Real Truth - Steve Lukather ... and you must listen to this one from the early 90s: Sister Havana - Urge Overkill "I'm watching you and Fidel Castro in the sand - Shazam!" + 2 "up" songs for the home stretch when I go running: All About Soul (remix) - Billy Joel (I like the positive message in this one) Back in the High Life - Steve Winwood (reminds me of my younger days) I also think that as a Power Song this one never fails to deliver: Training Montage - Vince DiCola (from The Rocky Story) ... the CD mix is much better and the music starts at the 00:55 mark. |

Are you working out specific body parts or trying to encourage others to do same?
Fat Bottomed Girls - Queen I Like Big Butts - Sir Mix-A-Lot Legs - ZZ Top Bicycle Race - Queen ... All those who believe in telekinesis, raise my hand. |

In all honesty I never listen to music when I run, it is stupid IMO. You either run hard, or not at all. |

Aside from that anything by Death from Above 1979 is good. These songs are on my current work out playlist. There's more by the battery in my iPod cacked out on my way to work and I can't remember the rest. Constantines - Nighttime/Anytime It's All Right Amps - Full on Idle Pretty Girls Make Graves - All Medicated Geniuses Thrush Hermit - From the Back of the Film DJ Shadow - Organ Donor [Extended Overhaul] |

But your point is a valid one, to a certain extent. I try to alternate running with music and without. They're both great. My favorite running song of all time is 'Blue Sky' by The Allman Brothers Band I also like to listen to albums or major parts thereof when I run. Wilco Calexico Grateful Dead (Skeletons) Jeff Buckley Throw in a couple of Reggae tunes ... For example |

I think it might be because living in a college town you always have to be alert running on the roads, since there are always some dipshits from Western Kansas who don't know how to drive in a "city" and always end up nearly killing you while you run across the street. Headphones make it very hard to hear around you, obviously. I love most though to come home and listen to my nice stereo and read a book. |

Wow, I just tried one out. Very cool. I was in a near trance (hoho) for 30 minutes on my elliptical. The only, minor thing was 130 BPM (the lowest I saw) was a wee bit too quick. I need more like 110 to 120.
Ugh. |
