So far I've got the Mortal Kombat theme from the movie, and Eye of the Tiger on there.
Give me more!
Mainly because of the adrenaline rush it can give you (if you know how to tap into the music).
Otherwise, get some Happy Hardcore, or good alt/rock music. It's best to work out with music that you enjoy, and know will motiivate you to move your body.

It's not something people hear about.
ones with the * before are really good choices, of course they might not be your genres but still they get my blood pumping when i work out *flexes*

I've always particularly liked Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast.
Personally, Strapping Young Lad does it for me too, but it's not terribly upbeat, so meh. 8) A lot of stuff from In Flames' Reroute to Remain album is pretty poppy, might wanna try that.

ACES! Another post by Somu Icewalker:
Godsmack and Disturbed
For you, Snoota, things like ZZ Top with a steady, and strong, and sometimes fast guitar in it are good (Not like, Motorhead fast, that's too fast).
For me, I find that stuf with a steady enough beat is good. I have a lot of different stuff that I can't even really categorize on my workout playlist.
Don't laugh, but I have the AYB Song (Invasion of the Gabber Bots or whatever) on my playlist and it's really good for working out, -_-
When I'm on the crosstrainer at the gym, I listen to Daft Punk - Work It. Not only do I like the song, but the song's beat falls at exactly 60 beats per minute. Which is how fast I jog on the crosstrainer... 60 rpm. So it's easy to just zone out to the music and match the rhythm of the song.
I suggest finding a good rhythm you're comfortable with, then find a song that matches that rhythm. I use a metronome that my sister used to use (She's big into music, she has tons of them) to time out all my songs so that whatever I listen to, I can just match the song's pace to my own. It helps the time go by much easier.
If you're looking for music to listen to while weight-training, tempo doesn't really matter - just go with what you like.

In other words, good music for lifting, not for running.
