Your favorite kick butt exercise music?

I tend to listen to :

Club Floorfillers - 80s club classics (a great mix of old club tunes, not usually my kind of music but sure gets me moving in the gym!)

and a couple of Boogaloo mixes or stuff like Pencil Full of Lead by Paolo Nutini...good beats, great horn sections and makes you jump all over the place!
 
I thought I would share my Ipod playlist I listen to everyday when I run or I am working out ... Rockstar(Nickelback) Use Somebody(Kings Of Leon) Dope Show(Marilyn Manson) Sister Havana(Urge Overkill) Dont Go Stealing My Soul Away(Accept) Rock n Roll Party in the Streets(Axe) Crazy Bitch(Buckcherry) Shake Me(Cinderella) Where the River Flows(Collective Soul) Clean My Wounds(Corrosion of Conformity) Stupify(Disturbed) Bad Company(Five Finger Death Punch) Photograph(Nickelback) Your Love(The Outfield) Guerilla Radio(Rage Against the Machine) Lay it Down(Ratt) 18 and Life(Skid Row) Monster(Skillet) My Wave(Soundgarden) Bad Girlfriend(Theory of a Deadman) She's a Beauty(The Tubes) Cherry Pie(Warrant) Slide It In(Whitesnake) Caught Up In You(38 Special) I Will Not Bow(Breaking Benjamin) Cum On Feel The Noize(Quiet Riot) Kryptonite(3 Doors Down) Big Gun(AC/DC) Born Free(Kid Rock) Stupify(Disturbed) Turning Circles(Judas Priest) Serenity(Godsmack) Back in Black(AC/DC) Dr. Feelgood(Motley Crue) Enter Sandman(Metallica) Here I Go Again(Whitesnake) Sweet Child O' Mine(Guns'n'Roses) United(Judas Priest)
 
Good idea sharing the iPod list. :)

I just use the the option on YouTube channels to make playlists (good option for the iPod-less of us who work out at home... just me?). I put together 40 min mixes with 4-5 minute slower songs at the beginning and the end to warm up and cool down to for my mixed cardio and weight workouts.

The first one's very Pop-y
Blue Foundation - Eyes on Fire (UKFDubstep); Missy Elliot - Smooth Chick; Shakira - She Wolf; Christina Aguilera - Keeps Gettin Better; Britney Spears - Piece of Me; Rihanna - S&M; Christina Aguilera - Express; Missy Elliot - Hot Boyz; Shakira - Loca; Alica Keys - No One.

And the second's heavier
Cee Lo Green - Bright Lights Bigger City; Garbage - Cherry Lips; Republica - Ready to Go; YoungBloodz - I'mma Shine; Ciara (w/ Missy Elliot) - Work; Swizz Beatz - Money in the Bank; Torqux & Twist - 2012; Mustard Pimp - Cherry; Missy Ellot - We Run This; Air - Universal Traveller.
 
Nice Patsfan. I love! Silversun Pickups.

I find that for my runs, I need a real mix of pace/ intensity. I personally can't pack a playlist with 1 hour of Primus-like drum beats, just pounding away. I would have a frickin' heart attack haha.

I have a lot of Foo Fighters, Silversun Pickups, Tool (stinkfist is so good for working out), STP, some new stuff, like Kanye, Busta Rhyme, etc. but mostly Rock.

I have 3 playlists. My "go to" which is the one I use 4 of 5 days a week. My "long run" which is made custom for each long run, and my "retired" which are songs I have retired from the previous 2 playlists. I update my music once a week, since I run about 35 miles/ week, so I need it to be dynamic.
 
Just checked my retired playlist, and there is a solid representation of System of A down, and Chili Peppers.. great running music (Chili Peppers)
 
For me, I have 2 songs that really get me pumped up more than anything

Green Day - Brain Stew
D12 - Fight Music (not for the faint of heart)

Some old Linkin Park stuf is great too.
