Or recommend any music that you think is really great, though preferably with a "feel good" sort of vibe. I've got a new iPod Nano to fill up!

Billy Idol! If you were a teenager in the 80's (and I was, sigh) you can't possibly stand still to "Rebel Yell". I just downloaded it!

And some Clash, Ramones, and Romantics.

Oh, well if we're downloading 80's feel good music, gotta go with some Duran Duran. Who can stand still to "Rio" or "Hungry Like The Wolf?"

And not 80s, but I love working out to Queen. [Smile]

For awhile there, I used to do morning exercises to Rick Wakeman's "1984 Overture". Later, I used to get on my exercise bike and put on Cher's TAKE ME HOME cd! (Something about that disco beat... heh heh)

for me it has to have a high BPM !! about 120 and over, especially when i'm running !!

most of my favourites are dance remixes from 1991 - 1995 [ my clubbing years ] and they are usually remixes by David Morales [ i have over 100 of his remixes ] and ones of my all time favourites is "Dreamlover" !!

I actually find that when I'm running if I listen to a song that is slower than the pace I'm running at, it pumps me up more. Lately its been Johnny Cash.

BTW, Billy Idol rocks. That's 'driving in my car' music for me! 'Rebel Yell' is as cool as the other side of the pillow Mechana!

I always listen to rock music when I work out. Well "rock" music, anyway. But that might just be more because that's mostly what I listen to, anyway.

I'd recommend...
The Fray
OK Go
Sugarcult
Fall Out Boy

Though, I have a fondness for '80s pop/rock, as well. [Smile] Fun times.

Abin: You know what to do with a Cali sandwich? No but neither do Cobie and CJ!
CJ: Yeah, we do. She's smiling, isn't she?

Context... who needs it?

Thanks for everyone's suggestions; you never know what you're missing! Lots of things to look into. Keep 'em coming!

Caliente, I'm not familiar with any of your choices (feeling really old now), but I'll certainly check them out.

Matthew, I too was a club kid in the mid nineties; some good stuff there.

Cobie: I hadn't listened to Billy Idol in decades, except for that cameo in The Wedding Singer (love that movie!), but that voice still melts me like buttah...

More, more, more! I mean more suggestions, I'm not actually quoting Billy Idol!
