Need workout music

Suggest to me some music that I can load on my iPod when I go ride my bike.
Up tempo and a good beat, other than that I am open.

Bumpty bump bump

I like the Podrunner mixes. Listenable enough without being distracting.

Isn’t it hazardous to ride wearing earphones? Or are you riding somewhere where cars are not an issue?

I’ll check out podrunner.
As far as riding goes either I only wear one headphone (legal) or ride on a bike path.

My favorite workout song: “Remember the Name” Fort Minor.
1st Runner-Up: “Thunderstruck” AC/DC

Soundtrack to Run Lola Run.

Agreed. More specifically, http://cycle.jog.fm/ :smiley:

I made up a “Running Playlist” for my iPhone a few months back. It has a fair amount of AC/DC, including that one.

Other bands which appear on it a lot (warning: I listen to old stuff :wink: ):

  • Foreigner
  • Led Zeppelin
  • Billy Squier
  • Journey
  • Styx
  • Pretenders
  • Queen
  • Cheap Trick
  • Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

All of the specific songs are faster / upbeat, and tend to be loud.

Girltalk
He is a pioneer mashup artist. In other words, his songs are all tidbits of classic beats and radio pop mixed with hip-hop. Very well done, easy flow, and constantly changing. Best part is you can pay-what-you-want for his albums. So download for free and pay later if you like it.

If you’re truly open-minded, I recommend Mystikal’s “Here I Go” as a song to get you pumped for a workout. Yes, it’s vulgar and irreverent, but it will make you want to kill a man.

Go nuts!

“Sympathy for the Devil” by the Rolling Stones. I played it on Guitar Hero last night, and I hadn’t previously realized how incredibly infectious that beat is.

Here’s the thread I started.
