Making Exercise/GYM MIX CD-what songs?

I already have Janet and Prince stuff but I'm looking for additional suggestions. Dance or heavy rock stuff that will get me pumped!
If you know any good 80s dance songs as well....thanks!

I use primarily the real hip-hop for my workout tapes, but for rock I'd try these:

Nirvana -- Breed
AC/DC -- Hells Bells
KISS -- God of Thunder (Alive II) (trust me)
prince -- endorphinmachine, Chaos and Disorder, I Like It There

to name a few.

Man, I bought this as a 7-year-old. My first rock album. KISS rocked.

Yea, I find I get pumped on Endorphinmachine & Interactive. nod

Funny you would ask Purplegypsy - I'm sort of in the middle of modifying mine but I think I'm putting too much effort in, trying to accomodate for speed fluctuations @ certain points on the disc eek Silly I know, but I'd love to play the thing all the way through w/o skipping around b/c something is the wrong tempo.

Anyway, here's a few of mine from various comps:

"All My Life" - Foo Fighters
"Celebrity Skin" - Hole
"Greasy Chicken" - TTD
"Take It Off" - The Donnas
"Heaven & Hot Rods" - STP
"Ray of Light" & "Music" - Madonna
"Magic Carpet Ride" - Steppenwolf
"Perfect" - Smashing Pumpkins
"Are You Gonna Go My Way" - Lenny
"777-9311" - The Time
"Don't You Want Me" - Jody Watley
"Naughty Girl" & "Crazy" - Beyonce
"Roughneck" - MC Lyte
"Bombs Over Baghdad" & "The Way You Move" - Outkast
"Peter Piper" - RunDMC
"Get Busy" - Sean Paul
"Holla Back Youngin" - Fabolous
"Doo Wop (that thing)" - Lauren Hill
"Rock Steady" - Aretha Franklin
"You & I" - Rick James
"Fill Me In" - Craig David
"Because of Love" - Janet

Prince:
Interactive
Endorphinemachine
Cloreen Bacon Skin
Let's Pretend We're Married
Private Joy
Uptown
Let's Work
Sexy Dancer
America
The Human Body
U Got the Look
Private Joy

I find the whole "Parade" album is excellent for exercising.

Your tast might differ from mine, but when I workout songs like The Flamings Lips' YOSHIMI and songs from the soundtrack of Once Upon a Time in Mexico really pumps me up. Britney Spears'
TOXIC also has a good rythm to it for working out.

Sheena Eastons album "The lover in me" is perfect I tell u! The first 2 tracks are great 4 exercise/working out, they are mid-tempo but VERY robotic, base drum/synth sounding! Very prominant-ultra loud/heavy drum programming on those 2 cuts! biggrin biggrin biggrin

For walking or jogging or whatever, Glenn medeiros' 1990 self titled album is great upbeat funky stuff, perfect for outdoors or whatever! It's the album with the cut "She ain't worth it" which featured Bobby Brown back in the summer of 1990! lol lol lol

Also the New Kids on the Block songs like "Step by step" "call it what you want", "Hangin' tough" "You got it (the right stuff)", "Games" are also great pumping songs that will have u smiling too! Hey, their remix album, with remixes of these tracks and more is worth a look into also as they are actually quite good!
