workout music suggestions

[bellenseb]

Looking for some good suggestions. I'm partial to upbeat/anthemic indie and/or electronic (but not overly earnest rock anthemic a la U2). Some stuff that gets me all revved up lately:
 
 upbeat The National
 the upbeat songs from Bob Mould eponymous (Deep Karma Canyon, Egooveride et al)
 LCD Soundsystem
 Avalances
 Deastro

[azaghal1981]

Lindstrom - Where you go I go too
 
 
 Pretty much the entire album.

This has been my favorite workout LP as of late:

soulwax nite versions album  

[6949]

It might be the geeky dancer in me but  Beats Antique takes my mind off working out.

[sweetcell]

daft punk - alive 2007.  for about 6 months, this was all that i listened to while running or at the gym... eventually burned out on it, but it was a great ride while it lasted.
 
 been listening to a lot of deadmau5 recently.  excellent stuff if you like epic, club-y electronica.

[MindCage]

I'm going to give a shameless plug only because I hear it from many people who love to get amped up and worked out to our music    It's electronic stuff...think Nine Inch Nails mixed with The Prodigy
 
 Here's our myspace page

 Mindless Faith

picks from my ipod workout mix include:
 
 cardio: death from above 1979, m.i.a., bloc party remixes, the faster hot chip tunes, yeah yeah yeahs (rich, y control, etc), n.e.r.d, q and not u, lots of mash-ups a la girl talk.
 
 slower beats for cool downs and strength training: slower hot chip tunes, peter bjorn & john, tv on the radio, beck, etc.
 
 plus i have a lot of one offs on my workout mix.

Tilly and the Wall - Bottom of Barrels album  

[kcjones119]

Bad Brains' "Riot Squad" over and over and over

[PigIron]

What you listen to is going to be up to you and your tastes and your pace.
 I run and don't do much else as far as cardio goes.  If I put my entire IPod running mix up here I'd get ridiculed - I try to select songs that fit my pace.  Some of them are artists/songs I like, some of them are artists/songs I wouldn't dare ever play aloud.
 
 Here are songs that have been on my IPod running mix for a while.  Forgive for lack of electronic music but I just don't find it great for running.
 
 Ministry: What About Us
 Ghostface Killah: Shakey Dog
 Butthole Surfer's: Goofy's Concern
 Murs: Barbershop
 Digable Planets Pacifics
 TV on the Radio: Wolf Like Me
 Postal Service: Such Great Heights

only people who are not serious about working out have to pass the time with music.  dedicate your mind to the task at hand.

[brennser]

the whole album is one big endorphin rush

I'd love to believe that, but as a guy who has run almost every day for ten years, I can't do it without music.  Forget it.  If my IPod dies mid-run, I don't care if I'm 10 miles from my house...I curl up into the fetal position on the sidewalk and cry.  Then I peel myself up off the pavement and walk home.  I love running but things would get boring every day without music.  The only time I don't run with music is during races, in which your mind is occupied by the fear of running off course or running into other people.  And most races ban IPods anyway.
