For me, ska music usually does the trick. Streetlight Manifesto, Less Than Jake, The Planet Smashers, Mad Caddies, etc. Lots of upbeat, fast paced songs. Also, Rage Against the Machine is good. And the Offspring.

You know, I had "Anarchy in the U.K." on my workout playlist for a while and it just wasn't working out(no pun intended, seriously). I think Johnny Rotten's voice isn't really conducive to getting the blood flowing, for me.

Ah, I've only heard of Daft Punk and Tiesto from those, but both those would be great to exercise to so the rest must be as well! I'll check them all out. Thanks cartoken! 😄

I love you! I actually haven't listened to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, so I'll have to do that. Been listening to Search and Destroy loads over the past week, it's AMAZING when you're on a high. I actually had just added Ex Lion Tamer to my playlist, which is a weird coincidence you mentioned it. Everything here looks pretty good, I may just use this as my playlist! Thanks a lot Purple! 😁

If you're going to exercise to Daft Punk, why not One More Time and Harder, Faster etc?

BOB and Hateful were inspired choices though.

I could never listen to 'Funeral' as exercise music! You're crazy. I have, however, listened to Search and Destroy by The Stooges and that song's a blast to work out to! But the rest of that album is pretty tame in comparison. I will try out the rest though! Thank you RainyWins!

So I got an iPod after being mp3 player-less for two to three years. I'm also beginning to work out (well have been for the past six months) and found how great music is to work out to.

Currently, my exercise playlist consists of Talking Heads, LCD Soundsystem, and Daft Punk. Anymore any of you can think of? I'm thinking about just buying a dance compilation disc.

Thanks a bunch! 😄
