Music For Motivation

I just want to compile a list of songs everybody listens do while on their path to their weight loss goals.  I currently listen to alot of Dance/Technoish stuff while doing cardio, and metal/Rock while lifting weights.

Recently when I go running, I listen to some Shiny Toy Guns (Ghost World, Ricochet, You Are The One...), Muse (Supermassive Black Hole, Knights of Cydonia, Hysteria), and for some reason Depeche Mode (Never Let Me Down).

Although, if you're looking for techno-y/electronic stuff, I've always been partial to Pendulum, Justice, Daft Punk, and Infected Mushroom (Cities of the Future is great).
And maybe Does It Offend You Yeah - some of their stuff has a good tempo...


What are groups you listen to? I'm always up for suggestions :)

I listen to Girl Talk (its mashup so its hip hop and rock combined with some dance beats)  Perfect for just about any kind of workout.

Songs for fast walking and running:

-Running Down A Dream -Tom Petty

-All Nightmare Long  -Metallica

-Sandman -Metallica

-Cannonball   -Supertramp

-Walk  -Pantera

-TNT  -AC/DC

-Run Like Hell  -Pink Floyd

 

Techno---Podrunner  http://www.djsteveboy.com/mixes.html

This is something you subscribe to through iPOD and monthly downloads come into your iPOD. They are usually 60 minutes and designed to speed up and cool down. Pretty neat if you like Techno stuff.

Here's some of my favorites for running:

Headlights Look Like Diamonds - Arcade Fire

Time to Pretend - MGMT

Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse - Of Montreal

Make Light - Passion Pit

Mis-Shapes - Pulp

Common People - Pulp

The Mending of the Gown - Sunset Rubdown

 

I only listen to my workout tracks when I'm running to help keep them fresh!  I download/buy new music frequently as practical rewards.

iTunes store is actually selling complete compilations for sports! 

I just bought Nike sports mix called Kara Goucher's Endurance boost and it's:

Black Eyed Peas - lets get it started and dont phunk with my heart

Beck - timebomb

kenna - say goodbye to love

keane - somewhere only we know

the fratellis - for the girl

Switches - lay down the law

Beck - where its at

Jimmy eat world - the middle

rooney - sorry sorry

carina round - come to you

jimmy eat world - chase this light

oneRepublic - stop and stare
