Songs that Rock my Workout

I ended up on a forum today at Dailymile which I can't say I was shocked to see was started by Leslie called "Songs that Rock Your Workout". Now this is something I can totally jump on board with. I'm not a huge music person, and I think that because I pretty much hear all music with an ear to whether or not it would be good to workout too, because that's pretty much the only time I listen to music. And I must also say here that since switching to the world of Ipod at Christmas , my workout/music world is just that much brighter and shinier - I love it and I love Itunes (most of the time). And so with that, here are some of my favs:

1) Lose Yourself - Eninem
2) Champion in Me - Three Doors Down
3) For speed work/pick me ups: Animals - Nickelback & Stone Cold Crazy - Metallica
4) Toughened Up Normal Songs (ie Marilyn Mason -Beautiful People/Tainted Love and Dope's You Spin Me Round)
5) Nickelback, Nickelback, Nickelback!!
6) John Mellencamp - Authority Song, Crumblin' Down, Paper in Fire
7) Disease - Matchbox Twenty
8) Harder to Breathe - Maroon 5
9) Fallin' - Alica Keys
10) Fighter - Christina Aguilera
11) Bon Jovi - It's My Life and Have a Nice Day
12 ) I Don't Want to Stop - Ozzy
13) Live Wire- Motley Crue
14) Lovin' Every Minute of It - Loverboy
15) Paralyzer - Finger Eleven
16) Get Stoned - Hinder
17) Spanked - Kenny Wayne Shepphard/Kid Rock
18) Steven McQueen - Sheryl Crow
19) This is how the Heart Breaks - Rob Thomas
20) Turn up the Radio - Autograph
21) Voodoo Child - Hendrix
22) Wicked Sensation - Lynch Mob
23) Youth Gone Wild - Skid Row
24) Stayin' Alive - BeeGees
25 ) Why can't I be you ( 2006 Remix)- The Cure
26) Firehouse's album Firehouse - I've got 5 of the songs on my Shuffle
27 ) Joan Jett - I don't give a damn about my Repuation, I love Rock 'n' Roll, Hate Myself for Lovin' You

And from this thread I was reading have a list of about 30 more songs that I want to check out that other people liked!!

Please share your favorites too - I'm always looking for a great new music find. I know most of my music is of the Rock genre but if you had told me a year ago that my all time favorite workout song would be by Enimen I would have told you that you were smokin' crack. So you just never know!

My son has been watching 100 Greatest Songs of the 80s and lots of your choices are there for sure!

Life's feeling tough for me, and "Every Day is Exactly the Same" by Nine Inch Nails makes me feel like the lead singer's been inside my head. As depressing as the song is, I think listening to it while I run will help to pull me out of my funk.

On a happier note, Mr. Blue Sky by ELO is wonderful, as is Running on Sunshine by Jesus Jackson. It's so fun to have new music, isn't it?
