I hope one day this post can grow with a great list of new songs being added all the time. I know my wife spent a lot of time searching the internet for people who post their suggestions, but it's usually about 2-3 songs at a time.

If you have any suggestions .. PLEASE! Feel free to add them to the comments!

How about LCD Soundsystem's Daft Punk is Playing at My House? You've got a couple of Daft Punk songs on there, after all.

  Hmm... well, I seem to be liking those Daft Punk songs .. I suppose I can add a song about Daft Punk from someone else lol .. do you think this has a good beat to run to?

  That video was awesome! I don't know if it's quite fast enough for running but it's got a great beat for warming up or cooling down.

  Well .. while it looks and sounds like an inspirational and uplifting song - to some - to me, quite frankly, I do not think I would add it to my list (and I went through 5 different YouTube versiona of that song). I'm looking for repetitive foot stomping, keeping steady beats for running and working out.

That is a great list (and thanks for getting George Michael's Faith stuck in my head again. It's been there since I heard it on the new TV show Eli Stone).

I run early in the morning and love to listen to the sounds of nature. It's about the only time my neighborhood is truly peaceful.

  On my playlist, I have some medieval and renaissance music - but, my wife claims she can't run to it at all and hates it! I don't mind doing the stationery bike routine with the music once in a while - although, it may be a little out of place inbetween some hip hop or trance songs
  
  e.g. like
  youtube.com/watch?v=LPxSj4G82tE or youtube.com/watch?v=rMcQKP3xID0 or youtube.com/watch?v=Bdzk066UCow
  (it's hard to find YouTube videos on the songs that I actually have)
  
  In the summer we run/bike out at the beach around 7am in the mornings and it's quiet there and sounds of nature are always good
