My Playlist Sucks!
I need some help. While I was thrilled to finally be able to add more than 20 tracks on my new MP3 after scrolling through my songs I realized something, my playlist sucks! It’s not that I don’t love the songs on my player, but they are old and outdated, it’s like 8-track meets MP3.
What’s new out there, is it me or are the artists just not as good today?
I’m looking to add some fresh new songs to my player. Actually what I’m looking for is some great workout music and I’m open to suggestions. I’m open to all types of music that when played backwards do not tell me to cut, drug or kill myself or open a store credit card.
What’s on your playlist? Can you recommend a song? Even if it’s a few years old it will be new to me. Thanks!

Oh it’s not you… the music today lacks a lot of substance.
But if I may, I thought this list was helpful:

LOL, I love that you say “is it you or the musicians today are not as good as some years ago.” I’ll let you think about that one. Seeing that I did not recognize any of the artist you mentioned on your Crazy 8′s meme, I won’t be much help. MMMMMmm maybe some Alicia Keys (for stretching)foo fighters for cardio…gosh give me a day or two to compile a list for you.

It’s not just you–modern “music” is anything but. Gads, I sound like my mother…but it’s true!

okay then Tondy, is it me. lol I think it could be. I haven’t changed too much, but some of the music out now makes me want to pop advil
Lana, I see you understand. I can deal with some of it, but I’m so stuck in another time, maybe I need to listen to the radio more to hear what’s out there.
Mr. Bourne, I like Willie, but I don’t see myself working out to You Are Always On My Mind…well maybe if I changed the tempo. Hmmm? Waylon who?
