Hi All,

In another thread Barb said she’d like some music suggestions and I thought I’d post some of my favs for anyone else who might need some tunes too.

Most of these can be downloaded from ITunes. There’s a pretty good mix here of almost everything BUT rock. I figured most of you know the good rock music to work out to (Bob Seger/Stix/Queen) but may not be familiar with some of these great lindyhop (swing)/rockabilly/bluegrass etc songs.

What I really love about the Ipod is you can make a playlist with all these but set it to “shuffle songs” so every workout is varied.

I’m always looking to add to my workout music so if you have any of your favorites to share I’d love to hear them!

I think Don't Go by Yaz is my absolute favorite walking song. I usually hit replay a couple times before I move on to the others.

The Gorilaz song I just love. It is so happy and depressing all at the same time, LOL. Here is the chorus, you've probably heard it on the radio, I've no idea why it's called clint eastwood though, lol.

I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad

I got sunshine, in a bag

I'm useless,but not for long

The future is coming on

I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad

The future is coming on

It's coming on

It's coming on

It's coming on

I was searching the sight for good music for the treadmill. I got some great suggestions but am still interested in whats on your ipod today.

Here's what is on mine:

Me against the music - Britney and Madonna

Eye of the Tiger from Rocky

Its my life by Bon Jovi

Lucky Dance Remix by Britney Spears

Tipsy by J-Kwon (can hardly contain my dancing with this one)

Lets get it started by the Black Eyed Peas

Cool Down to Enya's Only Time (so relaxing)

So tell me your faves, I'm ready to change it up a bit.

Thanks,

Jennifer

No one mentioned the Squirrel Nut Zippers. They are in the lines of Brian Setzer Orch. My favorite song is "In the afterlife".

Does anyone remember "Hooked on Classics" from the early 80's?

"Flight of the Bumblebee" is always fun to work out to.
