Nothing wrong with any of those selections! Fishbone, Beasties, RHCP, Dead Kennedys, Misfits, etc.

Plug all of those artists into a Pandora station and you’re good to go!!!

I have the same problem! My stand bys are The Rat by The Walkmen, followed by Sound of Settling by Death Cab. LCD Soundsystem recorded something for Nike called 45:33 that is supposed to be the greatest thing to run to, but I have never done so. Good luck!

I know of a few artist that have slow songs that turn faster, although I can’t remember them now. Try Pixies, Radiohead, early Geffin Sonic Youth, Nirvana just off the top of my head.

I recommend Le Tigre, several tracks from Gwen Stefani’s Love Angel Music Baby, Gorillaz…

As for specific tracks–”Maneater,” the Nelly Furtado version. Rihanna’s “Please Don’t Stop the Music.” Timbaland, “The Way I Are.” “Seventeen Years” (though a lot of Ratatat qualifies).
