I usually like to listen to loud, intense stuff that can keep me going (at least in the beginning).

Some albums I like:

Dredg - Catch without arms
Mindless Self Indulgence - You'll rebel to anything (warning: explicit!)
Skinny Puppy - Greater Wrong of the Right
Benny Benassi - Hypnotica
Infected Mushroom - I'm the Supervisor
Fischerspooner - Odyssey
Dieselboy - Project Human -or- Dungeon Master's Guide
At the Drive In - Relationship of Command
RJD2 - Since We Last Spoke
Mark Ronson - Version
Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero -or- Any albums really!

Those are what I rotate through on my little ipod shuffle =)

Enjoy!

I usually listen to nothing. For a while I was tote'n around a small mp3 player, but the gadget was more trouble than it was worth; clipping it on someplace, the wire, the ear piece. I prefer simplicity.

I listened to relaxing music, no lyrics, as a way to connect to my breathing. I love listening to my breath when I'm doing cardio. It makes me feel alive, a way to connect with my body. Now I'm able to concentrate on how I breathe without blocking out external noises. Boring to most, I know, but a real joy for me. Cheers.

Ska Music - something you can jump around to in a mosh pit - cheers me up when I'm pounding the treadmill!!

Wow, I guess I'm oldschool...and I'm not even that old!! Yikes. I filled my ipod w/different playlists for walking, running, cardio. Offhand, I know there is Soundgarden, Metallica, Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails, Led Zepplin, Nickelback, Audioslave, Creed, etc. What's funny is my favorite genre is country, but it just doesn't do it for my workouts--that's my "play" music!

Mashups!

Mashuptown.com is my new favorite.

Thanks to them, I've also discovered The Illuminoids and Illumination Radio.

I listen to Hard Attack on my portable Sirius radio. I love Slayer and Lamb of God, anything fast and crunchy
