So, i know there were numerous posts similar to this one on FH, but of course they've all been erased. I just got an iPod mini for Christmas (wow!) and have been obsessively adding songs from my CDs and buying songs online. but before i get carried away, i could use some good recs for songs I can run to. (you see, now that i have an ipod i will surely be running on the treadmill ALL the time. i swear.)
So if you're up to it, would you post some of your fav aggressive songs to run to at the gym? it's too cold and dark to run outside but i don't have to listen to bill o'reilly on the tv at my gym. thanks.
this is my current workout ipod playlist. the only time i really listen to pop music is when i'm running - the beats are a lot better than most other music. so there is lots on here that i am kind of embarrassed to post (heh), but it definitely works on the treadmill! i usually play it on shuffle.

i think there are more, but my ipod has been acting really strange lately and suddenly running out of battery power when it shouldn't, so i couldn't get the whole listing off it this morning. i'll update with the rest of the songs after i charge it.

heh, i'm the same way. pop songs are my guilty pleasure, esp. while working out...i'll admit, i downloaded an ashlee simpson song the other day, plus some kylie minogue...and i'm itching for more.
amelie, honey, scarlett, smash - thanks for sharing...you've given me some good ideas - def. need to get some ac/dc, some jay-z, maybe even some britney. it's funny, i had already added some of the same songs you guys recommended before i posted - franz ferdinand, killers, and modest mouse...great minds...
This is probably better for running outside- but my favorite song to run to of all time is "Where the streets have no name" by U2. I used to start every run with that song when I would practice for cross country. THEN I would listen to rap and britney =)
