Hi Guys,
I am getting sick of the same songs and want to change some around. So I thought it was time for a new workout/running music thread. I need some new music. My long runs need a pick me up :banana:

So what do you guys have on yours?
 
I'm a total music junky and I like all kinds of music. I'm more into heavy rock than anything else. I have a playlist that's about 6 hours long that I shuffle through. Here's a list of some of the artists I've got based on genre:

Heavy Rock/Metal

Skillet
Stretch Armstrong
Chasing Victory (my brother's band-lots of stuff on iTunes by them)
Maylene & the Sons of Disaster
Still Remains
As I Lay Dying
Emery

Rock/Pop

Black Eyed Peas
tobyMac
Selena Gomez (shut up, I've got a 10 year old daughter and some of it's good)
Justin Beiber (see notes above! lol)
Ke$ha
Katy Perry
Lady Gaga
Sean Kingston (feat. Niki Minaj)
Family Force 5
Paramore

Rap

Jay-Z
Notorious B.I.G.
KJ-52
K'anan
Matisyahu
Ludacris
Nelly (old stuff only)

Weird Inspirational Stuff

Theme to Knight Rider (have no idea why that song pumps me up)
Club stuff like Chemical Brothers, Crystal Meth, etc...

I seriously have such diverse musical tastes. I went through the 35+gb of music I had and hand-selected the stuff that I knew would push me through.
 
Some of my favorites....

Lots of Dave Matthews

Mumford and Sons -- The Cave, Roll Away Your Stone, Little Lion Man

Muse -- Uprising, Super Massive Black Hole, Hysteria

Jack Johnson -- Good People, You and Your Heart

Rage Against the Machine -- Bulls On Parade, Know Your Enemy, Bullet in the Head, Testify

Blues Traveller -- Freedom, Carolina Blues, But Anyways

Crash Kings -- Mountain Man

State Radio -- Right Me Up

John Butler Trio -- Used to get High, Somethings Got to Give

The Heavy -- How You Like me Now

There's a lot more but that's a start.

You and I would get along nicely with our tastes in music! lol. I've tried running to System of A Down quite a bit and I find it so up and down, I have a difficult time keeping a steady pace. I want to run with the beat! lol.

That's why I love running to heavy stuff though. I picture myself in the pit and get aggressive while running! :cool2:

You list looks like some of my anaerobic threshold class music.
 
I'm in need of some new tunes too. Some of my favorites:

Disturbed - Down With The Sickness
Buckcherry - Crazy *itch
Godsmack - Whiskey Hangover
Nickelback - Animals
Tom Cochrane - Life Is A Highway
STP - Vasoline
AMR - Gives You Hell
Atom Smash - Do Her Wrong
Maroon 5 - Harder To Breathe
Drowning Pool - Bodies

Black Eyed Peas
Pink
No Doubt
Lady Gaga
Collective Soul
Lots of Goo Goo Dolls & Lifehouse as well
 
If you have a smart phone, you can listen to the cardio workout channels on pandora. That is what I do now and I'm pretty happy with the variety.
 
Along with a lot of the stuff that John has, I can't help my addiction to Pitbull. His beats are perfectly timed for my 8ish minute miles. Plus, I love latin music. I also like a lot of Gwen Stefani (girl power), especially Just a Girl by No Doubt.
 
My playlist for my long runs has a variety of soundtracks, either movie or Broadway since some of those songs are long. If it's in a movie, no matter how short the appearance, it qualifies for this list. That's how I can justify Free Bird being with Kiss Me, Kate. :cool1:

I just naturally assumed based on your screen name, you would have answered Jimmy Buffet.

His songs are great when I'm stressed, they certainly got me to relax when exams rolled around, but I have plenty of other songs that are better to work out to.
 
Mine looks like I have multiple personality disorder, but it's set up so that I get a change in music style about every two miles.

Sect 1 - Pop - Kesha, LMFAO, Supermassive Black Hole, Katy Perry...
Sect 2 - LSU Tiger Band (No laughs - it has a good beat)
Sect 3 - 80's - Footloose, Tainted Love, Wham!, Pat Benatar, Take On Me...
Sect 4 - Disney Parks Music - Illuminations, Soarin, Spectro, Tiki, Pirates, GBBT
Sect 5 - Country - Dixie Chicks, Carrie Underwood, Red Solo Cup :laughing:...
Sect 6 - 90s - NKOTB, Push it, Mambo No. 5,
Sect 7 - Buffet/Beach Boys
Sect 8 - Rock - Cashmere, Santana, Metallica, Eye of the Tiger

It's all over the place, but it keeps things interersting.
