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

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....

Hobo Humping Slobo Bage is class! (well, sort of). Thanks for the link

Milge - thanks for those - that's jogged my memory about Chumbawumba, not at all!

I've just come across this thread as I was about to post a new thread looking for suggestions of stuff (indie/rock with some good old pop thrown in) to keep me running. Anyone got any others to add?

Thanks Charliecat - sorry for delay in responding but the firewall at work blocked the sites you sent. Good choices!
