Work out, stay hip

I've just finished my most purposeful workout yet, and it's all due to my workout mix. The workout mix is an artform and each song must move the workout forward and must give you encouragement with every note or that treadmill or that elliptical will grow teeth and eat you alive. Here's what got me through tonight:

1. Adult. "New Object"
2. Gorillaz "Feel Good"
3. Daft Punk "Robot Rock"
4. Beck "Hell Yes"
5. AC/DC "If You Want Blood"
6. Bloc Party "Little Thoughts"
7. The Bravery "Swollen Summer"
8. Cake "Stickshifts and Safetybelts"
9. The Brazilian Girls "Don't Stop"
10. Death Cab For Cutie "Sound of Settling"
11. Electric Six "Nuclear War (on the dancefloor)"
12. Kanye West "Breathe In Breathe Out"
13. Murphy Lee "Wat Da Hook Gon Be"
14. Mystical "Shake It Fast"
15. Muse "Stockholm Syndrome"
16. Ash "Cool It Down"
17. The Postal Service "Such Great Heights"
18. Reel Big Fish "Dateless Losers"

Other finalists include, Ash's "Meltdown" and The Bravery's self-titled, both in their entirety. Burn those calories but make your ears happy. Any other mixes get you movin' and shakin'?
