Music for the gym


What kind of music do you listen to at the gym? I find that my routine gym playlist has artists like Nickelback and Vertical Horizon, along with selections from the Top Gun and Karate Kid album. And as much as it pains me to admit it, Eminem's Lose Yourself really helps to pump me up.

Any other suggestions for music to get you motivated?

What headphones do people listen on?

My normal ipod ones bit the dust (also didn't stay in my ears very well). I bought a pair of SkullCandy ear buds, but they sound atrocious.

Any suggestions?
Since I'm not looking for high fidelity from headphones at the gym, I use cheap Sony headphones that go over the head and are easy to adjust. I tried the around-the-neck kind but they just didn't stay in place well with aerobic activity. And the ear buds to me always feel like they're going to fall out.
