B-52's Love Shack and Roam are both fun songs. As is Pink-Get the Party Started. :)

Any of that teen pop stuff is great.  I'm not ashamed to admit there's some 'NSYNC in my iPod.  Oh, also Bootylicious by Destiny's Child!

When I'm on the Nordic Trac, I play stuff with a good beat to keep my rhythm going.  I'll pop in any of these albums:

Queen Greatest Hits
Jimmy Buffett Songs you Know by Heart
Janis Joplin Pearl
John Cougar Mellencamp Lonesome Jubilee

Rock is Dead - Marilyn Manson

And, the entire "Run Lola Run" soundtrack - great for the treadmill!

pretty much what I use

Though I'm not into the whole pop/mainstream stuff, gotta admit that it's best for my step aerobic exercises  8) I try changing songs from time to time so that it doesn't get too boring, so here's what's banging out of the speakers:

Prince - Pop Life
Kylie - Can't get you out of my head
Benassi Bros - Satisfaction
Basement Jaxx - Where's your head at
Madonna - Hollywood (misc. remixes)
Patrick Hernandez - Born to be alive
Visage - Fade to Grey (remix)
KC & The Sunshine Band - Shake your booty/Get down tonight/That's the way I like it
Chemical Brothers - Out of control/Hey Girl, Hey Boy
Technotronic - Pump up the jam
The Weathermen - Move any mountain
Outkast - Hey Ya!
Data-Bank-A - Don't ask don't tell

and so on ...

Just reviving this to see if anyone has anymore workout music ideas.

I have a workout playlist on my ipod that has a strange mix of punk, showtunes, klezmer, classic rock and RnB. I just feel like I need to change it often otherwise I get bored.

I listen to a bunch of techno, electronic music for working out and lifting weights.  So I dont think anyone here would be interested in my kinda music!!  :P
