Make me a Playlist Competition!

Science shows: working out to music is a good idea. Working out in jeans is a not as good idea.




To my mind, two things are essential for a smoothly run gym experience: the first is a pair of
Adidas three-stripe pants (more on that later).
The second is a kick-ass iPod playlist of songs to get you going.

So your job is to suggest a song that I can add to my playlist to keep me motivated and going hard. It needs to have a driving beat and a fairly consistent tempo – the soft verse, strong chorus thing doesn’t work. I will accept any suggestions so long as they aren’t completely ridiculous like ‘I like willies’.
The person who suggests the song that works best for me will be declared the winner and showered with prizes! (of an as-yet undetermined nature)

To give you some idea: at the moment the songs that are working best for me are ‘Low’ by Foo Fighters, ‘Sweetness’ by Jimmy Eat World, ‘Rules and Games’ by Funeral for a Friend, ‘Jars’ by CheVelle, ‘Hysteria’ by Muse and ‘Individual’ by The Salads.
Because most people don’t have a Blogger account I will accept suggestions on here and on Facebook. Go bananas!

Rules
- You are competing for some random crap of my choosing. It could come from Smiggle, or the dairy, or the drawer of my bedside table. Who knows!

- Like Highlander, there can be only one winner!
- If, by slim chance, you suggest a song I already have on my workout playlist, that is a foul and you will be asked to select again. (There are only 50 songs on there at the moment)
- If you suggest the same song as somebody else, that song goes to the person who posted it first.
- You have until Sunday 18th October to make suggestions. Then I’m gonna need a couple of gym sessions to try them out, so I’ll announce the winner the following Sunday (25th Oct).
- Judge’s decision is final. Don’t start with him.
