Good workout music?

Okay, so I registered for a sprint triathlon (400m swim, 11 mile bike, 3.1 mile run) in August. Maybe that will turn out to be a really stupid idea, but I’m going to see if I can at least finish. So I need some good workout music, because my current tunes are getting tired. What songs get you pumped up when you’re exercising? Here’s some tunes that work for me: – Blink 182 – music from the Mortal Kombat soundtrack (hey, don’t mock it until you try it!) – “Ready Steady Go” by The Meices – The Mountain Goats – Foo Fighters – The Killers – sometimes the Pixies or the Ramones How about you? What workout music goes into your playlist mix and gets you ready to exercise?
