music monday: workout playlist

i don't understand people who don't listen to music while they work out. me, i need it, otherwise it's agonizing. thanks to my gym, i'm sometimes able to see what others are listening to if they plug their ipod into the machine they're using. (although, let's be honest, why would you do that? why would you plug your ipod into the machine and then your headphones into the machine when you could just place your ipod into the cup holder. sorry, tangent.) i've seen people listening to the shins or broken bells while they work out. those are good bands, but for me, that's walking music. if i'm going to be running or pumping iron like schwarzeneggar, i need music with intensity and power that sounds good turned up real loud. my playlist changes from time to time, but here are a few staples that always make it onto the list.

the lonely island - i'm on a boat
silversun pickups - the royal we
muse - hysteria
k'naan - wavin' flag
gorilla zoe - echo
incubus - under my umbrella
t.i. - what you know?
rise against - the good left undone
silversun pickups - growing old is getting old
chevelle - still running
flo rida - right round
jay-z f/ alicia keys - empire state of mind
the lonely island - space olympics
muse - stockholm syndrome
taking back sunday - makedamnsure
europe - the final countdown

am i missing any epic songs that are good? what do you all listen to when you work out?



on another note: i was hoping to catch up today, but i'm house sitting and i keep forgetting my camera cord! i'll be back on track soon. i'm just being spacey. :)
