So I've been running on the treadmill lately, and I am curious as to what other people listen to when they want to go for that extra mile. I tend to listen to the following:

1) LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver

2) Girl Talk - Feed the Animal

3) Rage Against the Machine - self titled

4) Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation

5) Metallica - Kill 'Em All

6) Clipse - Hell Hath No Fury

7) Weezer - Blue Album

I haven't been running recently (I need to resume that ASAP), but when I did, I did a lot of early Oingo Boingo and Nine Inch Nails' beatier songs.

Good call on the NIN; I've just been too lazy to make a playlist, since I'm always used to listening by albums.

The Dreaming, Etched in Blood ought to be good running music, it doesn't really have a ballad.

Broken is pretty consistent, and IIRC, all but one track on Pretty Hate Machine.

How about the Black Flag collection, The First Four Years? Of course, you'll grind to a halt when you hit "Damaged."

Work out running, or running from the police/authorities and such?

Work out running.

I would say anything loud/aggresive with a nice rhythm.

When I was running with music (I know prefer to just run after living downtown and nearly getting hiot by cars all the time), I like good hip-hop like Aesop Rock's "None Shall Pass", Talib Kweli's "Quality", and Del's "Deltron 3030". Some simple aggressive metal like Hatebreed works well.

I like running to techno type music. Tiesto, Van Dyk, Van Burren, Oakenfold etc. The beat keeps me going.

I just play Darude's Sandstorm and place the headphones right behind my ears, I can pretend I'm running from the music... do d-d-d-d-doo

I joke. Good electronica is great for excercise.

Work out running.

Damn I could have offered music advice if it was the latter.

What, do you want him to trip?

It seemed to work for the kids in candyman

I like Naamanf choices and I also use a bunch of mash up mixes. It usually is one artists vs another artists and they mash the two songs together. Pretty much anything with a good beat works for me. I never did try Dusty's suggestion with NIN yet but I will soon.

I think your best bet is to make a playlist. The biggest problem that I've found is long introductions or outros or whatnot that ruin the "mood", so it's rare that entire albums work well as running music. I vaguely remember having to start on "Kinda I Want to", and setting it on loop, so that it would end on "Sanctified" so that I could skip "Something I Can Never Have".

I totally agree with Dusty. I have a workout playlist and I swear it has been going on for about 7 years. I first added some songs I liked and then kept adding to it. It pretty much is just songs that has a good beat that gets my feet thumping and that I enjoy running to. I only add songs once in a while so the list doesn't get to big and then I just put it on random and away I go. Have fun making your playlist
