Songs with good tempo ike these:-

**rockyrocks** · 05-29-12 at 03:31 AM

I majorly listen to country (old/folk) or Alternative rock.. but sometimes I feel like listening to some songs like:
Rihana - Umbrella
Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love
Pitbull ft Marc Anthony - Rain Over Me
Adele - Rolling in the Deep
Lady Gaga - Born This Way

Usually I'd hate these artists since I don't consider pop (I think they are pop arent they?? :P) music to be music..lol.. but these songs have got a good tempo and beats and get me in the mood for work when I don't feel like working!!

So can people recommend any more songs like these?? Where the music is not too fast or too slow and the beats/bass is good etc.. I am not even able to get the terminology right!! lol.. :P
I don't listen to much at all apart from the few genres I like.. nor do I know about these artists..

I tried listening to those.....and I might have some suggestions, but they are all in the hard rock or metalcore genres....little heavier than your "pop".

For reference, I use some of these on my workout sets....they are also driving, but heavier. If you dont like them, thats okay.

Chevelle - Clones
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Choke
Sevendust - Black
Five Finger Death Punch - Hate Me
Redline Chemistry - Ultragigantor
War of Ages - Redeemer
It Dies Today - Sixth of June

Haha.. Viscera they are totally not what I am looking for!! I don't think I can even walk let alone workout with them blaring..!! lol

Thanks for the options though.. I like only two hard rock bands switchfoot and dashboard confessional.. except them haven't given this genre much of a chance :P prefer Indie rock..

Well

Tried to think of some songs similar to what you're looking for. A couple songs you could try:
Duffy - Mercy
Calvin Harris - Feel So Close
Coldplay - Princess of China
La Roux - Bulletproof
fun. - We Are Young
Kelly Clarkson - Stronger
Rihanna - Where Have You Been

And of course you always listen to more songs from the artists you listed.

The songs you've mentioned for Adele, Lewis & Rihanna are R&B songs, not pop. Well.. not that I know of.

Anyway, you might like..

Nelly - Just A Dream
Elliott Yamin - Wait For You (you most likely will like this, it's hard not to like it)
Elliott Yamin - Deserted
Trinie Tempah - Written In The Stars

Thanks _kyosuke_ !!.. These are what I was looking for!!.. :D Love fun. and Kelly clarkson especially!! But other songs are great too!!.. :D

I have tried listening to more from the same artists I mentioned.. but sadly found them to be unbearable! lol I don't know why :P That's why listen to only a few selective ones.. :P

Thanks TensionX1.. They were good to listen to but seemed a bit too teenage pop lol.. :P

Thought you Indians didnt need help to get some work done?? lol

Catchy tunes to get you off your lazy ass?
Leave the mainstream divas alone my friend and find some real music for your headphones!

Florence and the Machine.....Dog Days are Over
The Temper Trap......Sweet Disposition
Vampire Weekend.........A Punk
Flo Rida...........Club Cant Handle Me
MIA......Paper Planes
Jimmy Eat World...........The Middle
Two Door Cinema Club.........Something Good Can Work
Mumford and Sons ......Little Lion Man
MGMT......Time to Pretend

Put them on crank it up and enjoy
Get you a new phone and some decent threads .........who knows mate you could even walk around here without getting your head kicked in lol ........as long as you dont mention Dolly Parton!!

Well just came back to this after a long time..

haha.. Anomander thanks for the list.. I listen to most of the artists you mentioned but a single song gets lost in the whole discography of the artist!! Need to take these out..

Phone is not a priority (which by the way I had to replace since the keypads gave out! I got another entry level nokia :P) as much as music is so I have a good music player with sony earphones.. which will be replaced with a sennheiser soon.. and that works pretty nicely for me here where people don't understand the need of a music player!

And also I like to think I have pretty good (and heavy) mix of music.. (I am sure you will not disagree if you do then then you might be having a problem maintaining your status around here :P)

(Ran out of space to include bob seger, hank williams, mumford and a few others)but I love Dolly Parton's music a bit more than the others!!
