Help! I need a new running soundtrack...
 

I need some new songs to download for my IPOD for running. I am horrible at sitting down and downloading music, because I don't ever know the names/artists of songs and always get frustrated. I like all sorts of music, but it needs to be really upbeat and fun to get me going! Any ideas??

Thank you in advance, my IPOD thanks you :p

I am also trying to add more songs to my workout mixes so I'm interested in anything anyone else suggests, too. What do you have on yours? Any good suggestions?

I have 2 workout mixes currently. One is a hip hop/rap mix and one is an upbeat country mix. Clearly, I have very eclectic taste in music (don't make fun of me!) Here they are:

2. Lose Control- Missy Elliot
3. Bring 'Em Out- T.I.

11. Womanizer- Britney Spears
12. Keeps Gettin' Better- Christina Aguilera

Country--50 minutes

2. Loud- Big & Rich
3. Last Name- Carrie Underwood
4. Brand New Girlfriend- Steve Holy
5. Off the Hillbilly Hook-Trailer Choir
6. Bomshel Stomp- Bomshel
7. What Do You Think About That- Montgomery Gentry

Amanda,

I don't do much running, but I do know if I want to get in an intense mood during a workout, there are quite a few artists that put me in "that" mood.....

Btw, I am a certified Spin instructor (cycling) and teach twice a week at my gym. My classes are usually packed......and everyone says it's because of my music. :cool:

Godsmack
Linkin Park
Korn
Nickelback
Papa Roach

Rhianna
Beyonce
Justin Timberlake
Christina Aguilera

Nelly

Funky Green Dogs
Paul Oakenfold
The Crystal Method
Josh Wink

Hindi Techno (cause I am Indian.....:p)
....I would have to mail you a CD with a few tracks cause you might not find them anywhere available for downloading. My classes really like the beats with an alternative language.......:)

Too many to remember right now............

That should get you started....when I get off work I will log on to my library and copy and paste some artists/tracks that will knock your socks off!! :p :D


Esh

p.s. A lot of the artists I listed are quite good, but there's always something to be said of finding the right remix utilizing that artist with a bada$$ remix in the background. It's adds a little flavor to the track.:thumbup:

You are too funny!! I have a lot of the same songs on mine!!

My favorite hip hop songs on my IPOD are

1) Man Eater- Nelly Furtado
2) Promiscuious Girl- Nelly Furtado and Timbarland
3) Everybody Got Their Something- Nikka Costa
4) Give It To Me- Timbaland and Nelly Furtado
5) Gimme More- Britany
6) Calabria 2006 - LOVE THIS SONG! Try it and see, you'll be rockin' it!
Also some Justin Timberlake whom I don't particularly like, but the music is pretty damn catchy!

I have almost the same stuff on my country mix, but with more Big & Rich.

Thank you! I am going to have to check that other stuff out!

Thanks Esh! Wow! Spinning, eh? Sounds like too much work for me :p

I LOVE Linkin Park, Godsmack, NERD, 311 and POD. Those are generally my snowmobile music cuz it really makes you want to ROCK IT!! I have climbed some pretty sweet hills with that soundtrack. :D

That other stuff sounds pretty cool. It sounds like I would like it, I am pretty open!
