What's on your MP3 / training CD?

U2s Street with no name ROCKS!
I also like tunes by Weezer.

As a whole album to workout to, Moby's Play is perfect. starts out slow, rocks inthe middle, and gets trance like in the end. Perfect for 45 minutes training session.

I have a "workout playlist" on my iPod that constantly changes, but right now a couple of my favorites are from the Chemical Brothers. Good tunes with good tempo that really keep you going on the bike during the climbs.

Breaking Benjamin, Bush, Fuel....

this week it's Jimi - Electric Ladyland....last week it was Nirvana - Neverland.

Weights - Type-O-Negative, Tool, Eurythmics, Ricky Martin...

Bike trainer - Goo Goo Dolls, Ministry, Manson...

Anyone ever heard about Dispatch-great band with some excellent jams to work to. For the rap side of things its Jz and Rage Against the Machine.

I have to admit I love to run to Neil Diamond's Coming to America! Especially at teh track when you come around the turn! HA! It awesome!

Rather Eclectic but..


Pre-workout
E.R.A. Mother

Cardio Favorites
Hank III-Hang on
Bonnie Tyler-Holding out for a Hero
Blondie-Call Me
Riders in the Sky-Blues Brothers 2000 cover

Strength Training
Metallica-Fade to Black
Kiss-Detroit Rock City
Offspring-Come out and play
Offspring-Self Esteem

And I thought my choices were eclectic! :-)

Lately running to a lot of rock, Matchbox 20, Bon Jovi and a new guy Gavin DeGraw. But I love tech songs when I am not in the mood - helps when the beat forces you to run

I might need to get a few of the songs listed above - thanks for those

Moby - Extreme Ways
the Ataris - Boys of Summer
Meatloaf - Everything Louder than everything Else

"I Shall Believe" - Sheryl Crow
"The One" - Kyler England
"Good Enough" - Sarah McLachlan
"Break You Off" - The Roots
"Laugh as the Sun" - Rusted Root
"Crucify" - Tori Amos

And the list goes on. By the way, if you've never heard Kyler England, you should check her out: www.kylerengland.com. It's well worth the time.

A little of everything. This is what I can remember.

I can't do mellow while I'm training. Of course this is usually only on the Treadmill or trainer. I don't wear headphones when I'm outside training (Too many rude people!)

Rock on.

An MP3 player is on my short list of future purchases. I do love to blast music when I'm riding on my trainer, or hitting the bowflex. My current "wear it out" CD is U2's newest, "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb". For most of this past year, I've been wearing out Melissa Etheridge's latest, "Lucky". I love the emotion in her songs and performances!

Hands down, my favorite workout/clean house/get the blood moving CD is INXS, "Kick". Super energy on that one! Are YOU ready for a new sensation???

Workout:

Tool
Ministry
NIN
Green Day
Rancid
New Order
Fat Boy Slim
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Crystal Method
KMFDM
Jane's Addiction
Rob Zombie

At work, I listen to entirely different music:

Simon & Garfunkel
Beethoven ( Sonata for Violin & Piano No. 9 - Performed by Itzhak Perlman <-- love this )
Orff
Mozart
Gipsy Kings
Jamie Cullum
Pink Floyd
U2
Old delta blues
Old jazz ( not this newage smooth crud, but real jazz )

Yes, I have varied tastes.
