Your recommendations for 'up tempo' tunes for ipods to improve our motivation and pace when running / exercising

[handlemecarefully]

I have belatedly got an Ipod and found that it has made a massive difference to my running (it seems more effortless when I have good music to listen to, especially 'up tempo' stuff)...

Here are some of my suggestions for music to 'get your pace up' - what are yours?:

Underground Spell: Born Slippy
Whale:Hobo Humping Slobo babe
Run DMC: Walk this way
Run DMC: It's like that
Blur: Song 2
Faithless: Insomnia
PF Project: Choose Life
U.S.U.R.A: Open Your Mind

Would appreciate some other suggestions to add to playlists for my running....

the fiev one is great too

HMC - Faithless Insomnia is the best turn to run to isn;t it? I'm crap at collecting music so my ipod is a poor show. the sound track from Baz Lurhman's Romeo and Juliet has some great songs - best of all Young things run free...by someone or other and there's a great sinister/aggressive-ish one - kind of the same vibe as insomnia. I'm not much use am I....

i tell yya
soundtrakc to queer as "folk"

ok just foudn that on my music hting
but i htink hmc wants liek real music not a er er er er er erer sound

theres a brilliant one by eminem, dubious lyrics as you'd expect, basically how he's the spawn of the devil (the devil being his mum) but it's got a killer "bounce" to it and i can't help but run well when it's on
(When I say RUN i actually mean travel a bit faster than normal and move my arms about)

Sympathy for the devil

Rolling Stones
poss. best song ever.

Keep 'em coming.

Here's one "Tiger Feet" by Mud

also

Echo Beach - Martha and the Muffins

Stepping Out
Joe Jackson

'Come with me' (originally by Puff Daddy featuring Jimmy Page) - it was the theme tune to Godzilla

and, very short but worth it 'Coney Island Girl' by the Fun Lovin Criminals

Moondog - looks like it's you and me now keeping this going. Have you downloaded any itunes as a result of this thread? I have found it really hugely useful (thanks everyone)

Tatat - do you know the title of that eminem one?

Bump - determined (in a rather irritating way) to get more suggestions. Sorry!

Shoot to Thrill
AC/DC

The Rover
Led Zeppelin

Love and Affection
Joan Armatrading (so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes every time,especially when running through sun dappled forest thinking of my children)

Me and Bobby McGee
Janis Joplin

Que Sera
Gibson Brothers

Okay who sings that 'poppy' track that goes:

"All over, all over, all over yeeaah!"

Heard it on the music channels on Sky but couldn't crane my neck around to see the artist since was having hair cut at the time (by sexy hetero male motor bike riding bit of stuff incidentally)

It's not a particularly new release

Blardy hell - noone? And I sang it so well...

HMC, know exactly the song you mean, but don't know artist, sorry.

Am v pleased to find this thread as have been getting a bit bored with my playlist, there are loads on here I'd happily listen to.

My favourites are:

The Automatic : Monster
The Fray : How to save a life
Snow Patrol (with Martha Wainwright) : Set the fire to the 3rd bar (warm up/cool down)
