favorite workout music?

What music do you like to listen to while you're exercising? I'm okay with dance music, but alternative rock is my favorite to listen to. My workout playlist has p!@td, Fall Out Boy, hellogoodbye, etc. What are your favorites?

Classic rock (like AC/DC, Led Zepplin, and my favorite, Queen).

Depending on mood, I also love to listen to Funk and Disco. (There's nothing like trying to hit a high note with the BeeGees while you're half out of breath running!)

Same here with the alt. rock!
I also like Snow Patrol (the songs Hands Open, Shut Your Eyes, Spitting Games), Muse (Supermassive Black Hole, Stockholm Syndrome), CSS (Music is My Hot, Hot Sex) ...lol
and a ton of other bands like Motion City Soundtrack, She Wants Revenge, Paramore, etc..

I also like listening to loud, upbeat songs in different languages (I have a ton of random stuff in Japanese, Spanish, and German on my iPod)

 Nothing gets me going like slightly angry industrial dance music (Assemblage 23). Or some melodic metal (Soilwork). Or Hardcore (Dillinger Escape Plan.)

Nine Inch Nails? Shoot.

Anything I guess. Yay music! 

METALLICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Delicious Assemblage. I <3 Tom Shears and got to see him at Small's in Detroit! *Dancedancedance*

 

I like industrial too. Combichrist, Razed In Black, Run Level Zero, and Tactical Sekt are all on my exercise playlists. 

Nice to see other people listening to rock and metal rather than the usual dance stuff they have on.

Gojira (very good for weight training) Machine head, Meshuggah and the like here. 

I have an odd combination of punk & rock (street dogs,rancid, nofx, offspring) hip hop (ciara, jay-z, jarule, bow wow), pop (JT, Britney and Rhianna (no laughing!), and dance (various DJs and remixes) on my IPOD. I like variety.

nine inch nails on the elliptical kicks ass

My elliptical is right near my computer and I have decent speakers, so I can put on streaming audio stations.  My current favourite is http://deepmix.ru/ (Russian techno / house, usually around 120-130 bpm).

I have everything on my iPod, from Buckcherry, Floyd, Skynyrd, Robert Miles, Dar Williams, Metallica, Cheap Trick, all sorts of other late 70's/80's hard rock/hair bands, I even have a few hip-hop, rap songs, though I'm not sure I like the hip-hop it doesn't have the beat good old heavy metal has.

Though Ram Jam's Black Betty and Buckcherry's Crazy B*#ch have to be my fav songs

I'm very into mellow indie, folk, and international music most of the time, but I have to admit, dancing my ass off or running to horrible girly pop is such a guilty pleasure.  Especially Hilary Duff and Justin Timberlake...  At the end of the day, their music has great underlying beats and the sounds and shifts can keep me running for a looong time vs. something like Joni Mitchell, hahaha.

Dance music for cardio and angry rage against the machine type stuff for weights!

Lately I listen to The Gathering, Ayreon, Nightwish, Volbeat, & Turisas for a nice mix of both heavy and slow music. Listening to 12 minute long songs also really helps make the time go by while on the eliptical.

Probably will add some Raintime, Elvenking, & Unexpect soon.

anything fast and with a good bass beat.  :)

Rise Against, Bullet for My Valentine, Silverstein, The Loved Ones

Rise Against is probably my favorite.

I guess I will be the odd one to admit that I got tired of listening to music during my runs and now listen to podcasts. I like that they are always different and new.

Check out Motiontraxx.com  Its a FREE website that has podcasts.  The website's saying is "Fuel for running", but its music for any activity.  If you like aternative rock and dance/house music...its great!   Hope you like what they have to offer.   

Any music that I made love to the night before usually gets me motivated.

I love making work out playlists!  I use limewire (i'm cheap) but I like upbeat, fast paced music (rap, hip hop or rock usually).  I can't imagine working out to slow music.  Actually I read a study a while back saying that those that workout with music (it didn't specify a type) could workout longer and harder.  Cool, huh?

Some of my favorites are: Eminem's "Lose Yourself," Jet's "Cold Hard Bitch," Kings of Leon's "California Waiting," The Ting Ting's "That's Not My Name," Britney Spears' "Toxic" and "My Perogative" just to name a few. I also have a wide variety on my iPod...some days I am looking for beach music; some days I need hard core rap.
