So I've gotten the exercise bug recently and have been curating a playlist of songs that are good for working out to. Really just about anything with a fast beat will do it, but I have my own personal preferences. I grew in the 80s and 90s listening to The Clash, Tom Petty, They Might Be Giants, and Nirvana so that's where I'm coming from. I thought it might be fun to have a thread where people can post the favorite workout mixtape--i.e. 8 to 12 songs that get them motivated in the gym. So here's mine to start:
Nirvana Breed
Hamilton Leithauser Alexandra
Tom Petty Fault Lines
Gary Clarke Jr. Don't Owe You a Thing
Yeah Yeah Yeahs Tick
Franz Ferdinand Come on Home
Iggy Pop Lust for Life
Ozomatli Como Ves
The New Pornagraphers Twin Cinema
They Might Be Giants Damn Good Times
Kings of Leon Taper Jean Girl
Vampire Weekend A-Punk
Bully Milkman
Ramones California Sun
The Clash Safe European Home
While these might not be the most famous songs, they are the ones that help me get my heart rate into the 150s. These are my favorites from my Spotify playlist. Any other Spotify users who want to see the full list (200 songs and growing) can find it here.
