    After an extended two-year period of working out to basically the same material on my mp3 player, looping the folder over and over, the songs no longer have the same effect... go figure.

    And so, I turn to you boys (and select females), for your advice. Can you recommend any new material to me?

    A random sampling of what's on my workout folder now:

    Jerk it Out - Caeser's Palace
    Ride - the Vines
    Song 2 - Blur
    Since You've Been Gone - Kelly Clarkson (why do I feel so embarrassed?)
    Get Free - the Vines
    Ready to Go - Republica
    Where are we Running - Lenny Kravitz
    Lose my Breath - Destiny's Child
    Mr. Brightside - the Killers
    Take it Off - the Donnas
    Hate to Say I Told you So - the Hives
    Are you Gonna be my Girl - Jet
    Sleep Now in the Fire - RATM

    So now you get the gist of the things I prefer, can anyone please help me? Please, no 80's tunes- they just don't *do* it for me. Thanks guys!

    ur workout folder looks exactly like krbe's play list.

    As for me, I listen to Paul Oakenfold while I work out.

    :( I know... It is only a sample; please don't judge me. It just so happens that some of these songs were the most effective. I didn't list all of them, partly out of shame. As for P.O., I have a couple of his on there...

    on the way to our league basketball games (that's working out... right?) i listen to nothing but wu-tang. i have gza (tracks 1, 2, 3, 8, 11, 12 are best, but everything else still bangs hard) and dirty (tracks 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 13 are best, but others aren't too shabby either) are in the car right now. i know you say "songs", but the whole albums would get you pumped up for anything.

    Yes, I'm pretty sure I'm gay, but I like working out to "Anything for love" by Meatloaf.

    12 minutes of pure pleasure.

    The guys I work out with like classic rock, mainly AC/DC, Black Sabbath, and Ted Nugent.

    gs,

    Considering what you listed, I probably won't be much help to you as I listen to entire albums; however, the first song off The Killers' album "Hot Fuss" is just as good as "Mr. Brightside", IMO.

    Also, a lot of the songs off "Source Tags & Codes" by And You Will Know Us by the Trail of the Dead
    Finally, considering all the other songs you have listed, I would add "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand, "Float On" by Modest Mouse, and "Evil" by Interpol.

    Call me crazy, but I like to work out to really thunderous, intense symphony/orchestra music from soundstracks like LoTR and Gladiator.

    The Rocky 4 soundtrack.

    Between Survivor and Vince DiCola, it doesn't get any better.

    Midlife Crisis is good. Be Aggressive is better.

    Anything that makes me feel really pissed or really happy. Either one works great for running.

    If I'm going to work out, there is only one song that will get me going. I put on my leg warmers and get after it with "maniac" by Michael Sembello.
