Great Workout Music
I love to make up playlists from my personal iTunes library to go with just about everything. Here's one of my favs for spinning.
1. Every Kinda People - Remix Robert Palmer
2. Sailin’ Shoes Robert Palmer
3 .Stone Flower Santana
4. Mary Had A Little Lamb Stevie Ray Vaughan
5. The Future Leonard Cohen
6. Don't Go Away Mad Little Village
7. Life During Wartime Talking Heads
8. Mississippi Sheryl Crow
9. She Came Along To Me Billy Bragg and Wilco
10. Can We Still Be Friends? - Remix Robert Palmer
I know everybody's got different tastes, but these are all really driving songs that help me get through, plus they are arranged to begin a little slower, build up, then slow down again--which is great for warming up and cooling down on a spin. Got a list to share?

diggThe ones I've heard are pretty good, but isn't this playlist a little ... old?

Whaddaya think??
Just found a site that has playlists provided by professional trainers. You can also submit lists or search lists provided by members. Go to www.championo2cool.com and check it out.
Hey blue:
Are you able to download tracks at the champion site or just contribute/get playlists? I tried it out, but only found lists--no tracks. Also, the iTunes link seems to take me over the Apple website, not the iTunes music store. Still, kinda cool.
burrrrrrrrrrrrn

(I was born in the 80's but i didn't grow up in them... But really. Look at my music... total 80's child at heart... :P )
Enjoy!
Nice chart, lots of 80s heart.
One thing about 80s music that I really distinguishes it is the steady beat. Talking Heads, Specials, Kraftwerk, Pretenders, Prince, Devo, and on and on--all had survived disco and were exploring world music and the earliest bleeps of electronica. Blended global, dance, techno, and roots styles have given rise to the joyous hodgepodge that characterizes some great new music today. Oh yeah, that and the nonstop beat :-)
I hear the 80s thing, fer sher in that 80s child playlist. Here is one I like. It's about one hour. It even gets into the 70s (Robert Palmer moves me) and (yikes!) some jazz. Outstanding for spinning, although some tracks might be hard to find.
1. Every Kinda People – Remix -- Robert Palmer
2. Sailin’ Shoes -- Robert Palmer
3. Stone Flower – Santana
4. Mary Had A Little Lamb -- Stevie Ray Vaughan
5. The Future -- Leonard Cohen
6. Speak Low -- Gary Bartz
7. Don't Go Away Mad -- Little Village
8. Life During Wartime -- Talking Heads
9. Mississippi -- Sheryl Crow
10. She Came Along To Me -- Billy Bragg and Wilco
11. Can We Still Be Friends? - Remix -- Robert Palmer
This might be a little to hard for some people but it keeps the beat up with some short rest periods. Enjoy!

So much better being able to see other peoples playlists, i've been trying to put some good work out playlist together for ever. Thanks for the song names etc now i can actually have fun working out and pass the time. I'll also be listening to these songs while heading to the UK 6 hour flight from NY not to bad, i got reading festival tickets and they have an awesome lineup i couldnt pass it up this summer.
