What dudes training for the London Marathon have on their ipods

Some peculiar picks from these two: dude 1 swaps between Metallica and the Mountain Goats, dudette 2 sticks with Britpop/mainstream indie.

- Assuming you do some exercise, what do you prefer to soundtrack it with (if anything)?
- If you have never so much as broken a sweat, what music do you use to psyche yourself up for something/motivate yourself to keep going?

Dudette #2 is NOT WRONG if by "britpop" she means the EMPOWERING EFFECTS of "girl from mars" by Ash which has seen me through the last kilometres on way too many occasions. Occasionally something with a slowwwwww-burrrrn start is worth sticking through for the lift when it kicks in, although my example for this is THE VISITORS by ABBA so call me the exercisegoth.

The real thing I need to know is good music for studyin' to - exercise/commuting music is too attention grabbing but I don't want something so bland I might as well just hem hem ENJOY THE SILENCE.

Apropos of nothing, HEAD LIKE A HOLE popped up on the mp3 player the other day and that was awesome but ye gods it's 10yrs (omg) on and I still cant get over the *pinches nose* naaaa-saaaaal voice.
