Somebody upthread mentioned the Reverend Horton Heat; he and other rockabilly stars help in my workouts a lot. Here are my favorite high-tempo songs by the good Rev: Baddest of the Bad Wiggle Stick Big Red Rocket of Love Lie Detector 400 Bucks Bad Reputation Now, Right Now Big Little Baby Fucked-up Ford (clean alternate title: Five-O Ford) I Can’t Surf Loco Gringos Like a Party Like a Rocket Galaxy 500 What’s Reminding Me of You Go With Your Friends Ain’t Gonna Happen Show Pony Callin’ in Twisted Octopus Mode Big Dwarf Rodeo Texas Rockabilly Rebel Sue Jack Daniels Livin’ on the Edge of Livin’ Lonesome Train Whistle FWIW, my favorite of his is the tangolike “In My Wildest Dreams”, but that would only be good for the cooldown. 🙂 ---

It’s awesome to see another Reverend Horton Heat fan! I’ve seen them live twice, but not in a few years. I’d like to add to the OP’s list: “The Touch” and “Dare” by Stan Bush “The Final Countdown” by Europe “Now You’re a Man” by DVDA “Goin’ Out West” by Tom Waits “Miserlou” by Dick Dale and the Del-Tones The entire _Apocalypse, Please_ album by Muse Anything fast by Nightwish Anything at all by Dragonforce ---
