playlist for a bike ride

As I take my near-daily "training" rides, I've been working my way through all the music loaded on my iPod, A-Z. The right music can get me up a hill.

This was yesterday's playlist:

~ Goin' out West (Tom Waits)
~ Good Times, Bad Times (Led Zeppelin)
~ Head Over Heels (The Go-Gos)
~ Heartbreaker (LZ)
~ Heavenly Action (Erasure)
~ Hole in My Life [Live] (The Police)
~ Houses of the Holy (LZ)
~ Hyena (REM)
~ I Believe (REM)
~ I Can't Stand Myself (James Brown)
~ I Don't Want Nobody to Give Me Nothing (James Brown)
~ I Got the Feelin' (James Brown)
~ If I Ruled the World (James Brown)
~ Immigrant Song (LZ)
~ In the Evening (LZ)

A little Zeppelin heavy, but this is what happens when you put greatest hits double albums on your mp3 player. If not Zeppelin, then The Police, REM, Erasure, or James Brown are in heavy rotation. I am in serious need of new tunes.

What music motivates you when you're on a fitness machine—or taking a walk or jog?
