What music do you work out to?

For those of you who work out to music, what kind of music do you use? What are some of your favourite workout songs?

I have 173 songs on my workout playlist, of a variety of genres, but my favourite genre is rock. My favourite songs, the ones that really get me moving, are:

The Trews - Tired of Waiting
U2 - Zoo Station
Delirious - My Glorious
Sam Roberts - Hard Road
Jimmy Barnes and INXS - Good Times
Van Halen - Panama
Reef - Place Your Hands
Kid Rock - Cowboy

Funnily enough, German death metal. I wouldn't listen to it normally but there's something about someone growling at you in German over dirty guitars that makes me want to keep on running.
