The Rocky IV soundtrack, Journey too. Anything with synthesizers. There was this techno version of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" but I can't find it anymore. That was cool.

This is a great thread. I am ALWAYS looking for good music to work out to--specifically, to run to. I go for complete albums instead of individual songs. I go for classic/hard rock mostly; songs with a steady beat and strong melody. Obviously we want to avoid ballads and soft poppish songs (but cheerful upbeat like Hall and Oates can work, because the tempo is right). These are some of the albums that I've been listening to recently: Van Halen--1984 Springsteen--Born to Run ACDC--Back in Black/Highway to Hell Meatloaf--Bat out of Hell B-52s--Time Capsule (greatest hits) Boston Journey--Greatest Hits Dave Matthews--Crash Styx--any of the greatest hits mixes Who--Who are You/Whos Next Huey Lewis--greatest Hits Queen--greatest hits Bon Jovi--a mix made by a friend They Might be Giants
Seriously, Rocky. Eye of the Tiger. Always HAS to get you pumped. And the Rocky Theme...from the training part..."Gonna Fly Now"(?)
Dope - Debonaire Breaking Benjamin - One of a Kind Linkin Park - Points of Authority Remix Nonpoint - Bullet with a name on it Offspring - Bad Habit POD - Youth of the Nation
Welcome to the Jungle - Guns n' Roses Til I Collapse - Eminem (all time fav) Pretty much anything by DMX Hells Bells - AC/DC Runnin' With the Devil - Van Halen Down with the Sickness - Disturbed Bulls on Parade - Rage Against the Machine Can't Stop - Red Hot Chili Peppers All My Life - Foo Fighters For You - Staind I could listen to Welcome to the Jungle over and over again while I'm running. I never want to stop when I hear that.
dumpy, I recommend T. Rex's "Electric Warrior" and "The Slider" albums to you then. there's a few ballads on it, but the other stuff is fun, good old fashioned rock and roll (released in 71 and 72 ) I'd recommend Pop Levi's latest album, "Never Never Love" , which is a fusion of T.Rex and Prince, with it's own twist. Lots of fun, uptempo, catchy stuff. Has a bit of electronics on it too, and maybe only 2 or 3 slower tempo songs.
