Exercise music

Any recommendations on great music to exercise to? During the winter, I like to strap on the Walkman and pop in something funky for riding the stationary bike. Old faves include Motown, AWB, Was (Not Was.) I'm looking to update my library. Suggestions?

Anything Disco of course and Funkadelic like "Hot Chocolate - You Sexy Thing". Muzak is also fun when you "crank" it.

I'm more of a runner, but here goes :: Metallica: The Black Album (best of all time), 'S&M';Guns&Roses: 'Appetite for Destruction'*; The Offspring: 'Smash'; Pearl Jam: 'Ten'; The soundtrack to 'The Crow'; Neil Young: 'Freedom', 'Sleeps with Angels', AC/DC 'Back in Black' *. * On Oprah's recommended(approved) exercise music list.

Hi Michael: Here are two more specific suggestions. The soundtrack from "Breakfast at Tiffany's", music by Henry Mancini which is on RCA/BMG. Also the soundtrack to "Black Orpheus" which is also available from BMG club, or can be ordered at most shops. "Breakfast" is a short trip and "Orpheus" is a journey. You should get lost in both of them. My wife, the disco queen, isn't available right now for suggestions, but maybe later. Early Al Green is pretty hypnotic too.
