Share your workout music playlist!

For those who listen to their own music during workouts (either at the gym, or otherwise) can you share your favourite playlist? I need some good stuff. My current music collection can be broken down as follows:

- 25% of the songs are by Indigo Girls, Great Big Sea or Blue Rodeo and have been in my collection for more than 5 years

- 25% of the songs are either 'indie' music which played during episodes of Grey's Anatomy, or show tunes

- 25% of the songs are one-offs I heard on the radio or found on a music blog, had recommended by someone etc

- 25% of the songs are French kiddie music that I use when I am teaching. Some of them are pretty fun, actually But then, I am a geek, so...

Anyway, recommend me some good stuff. What would be your top ten favourite workout songs?

I just wanted to say I'm excited to see this thread. I'd love to put together some good playlists. I have music that I like but I'm specifically hoping to find good energizing fast music for cardio. I'll be excited to see what everyone posts.

Great Thread. Anyone want to also share where their favorite place is to get mp3s or do you just rip from CDs you owned? My favorite place to purchase has gone away (yahoo music) so now I'm considering where else I can purchase from.

Gosh ooty- now we have to know!

I'm working my way through my collection for my yoga and Pilates classes. It's a crazy mix of one hit wonders from the eighties (I mean, does anyone else remember the Blow Monkeys???), some Bowie, some of the Cardigans' stuff, some Norah Jones and John Mayer that doesn't annoy, a lot of Cafe Roma and then some dance/electronic stuff- I really like London Deluxe (I think that's what it's called). And then there is some random jazz from Monk and the soundtrack to Last Tango in Paris. I can't wait to see what other people are listening to.
