yeah... if u like kanye west, there is a compilation series you should check out called "Euro Club Hits" --
it's pretty clear that dance music is coming back around the world -- just check the recent big American hip-hop and R&B hits which are clear rip-offs of the european dance style..... here's the direct iTunes link to the "Euro Club Hits" series..... http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/M...Club+Hits+Vol+ |

I heartily endorse this post. Though I no longer run unless being chased, back when I trained for my various mediocre sporting endeavors AC/DC was the go to. I would throw Back in Black in there too, but nothing beyond that.

AC/DC is not bad, but Led Zepplin or Rolling Stones are better, because you have more songs so you can run for hours upon end.

I can't foresee a scenario where I would be chased for hours on end so I think the Bon Scott era AC/DC + Back in Black should be sufficient.

Why thank you iPU. You obviously have highly refined musical tastes.
I have about 3000 songs in my "Workout" collection. I add to the list as I hear or think of songs I like. Sometimes upon listening something just doesn't click for cardio and I delete it. The above is a somewhat random sample. It's a little odd that two Toto songs made that small sample. I'm not that big of a Toto fan. I've got a range of eras, styles and tempos represented, heavily weighted to the stuff I liked in high school and college. It works for me. Knowing I've got some hand-picked tunes to listen to helps keep me motivated. Last edited by Kilgore Trout; 04-16-2008 at 09:31 PM. |

For the record, most of the stuff on your list that I prefer would be considered a part of the New Wave genre.
