The key is upbeat and what you like. Going down my iTunes playlists; my Trainer mix (for cycling indoors) includes:
Matchbox Twenty - Push Bad Religion - Inner Logic Better Than Ezra - Juicy Black Eyed Peas - Let's Get it Started Bush - Little Things and Everything Zen Cake - Short Skirt, Long Jacket Ataris - Boys of Summer Rob Thomas - This is How a Heart Breaks Shakira - Hips Don't Lie Toto - Melanie
And... I guess my other playlists were on my iBook before I killed it. From memory of another list (don't remember if it was for treadmill or interval cycling):
Soggy Bottomed Boys - Man of Constant Sorrow Bruce Willis - Tenth Avenue Tango two versions of Flight of the Bumblebee Devil Went Down to Georgia Johnny B. Goode Bachman Turner Overdrive - You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet
Guess it's been a while since I've done indoor-type workouts; can't remember the other songs off hand. The key is generally upbeat, up-tempo songs, ideally ones that you like so you won't be too tempted to skip them. Also don't forget a couple slower songs for the warmup and cooldown, in my experience best to be songs you can sing along to so that you can make sure you're working not so hard that you can't sing/mouth along.
