Anyone care to share their music recs?

Throwing this out there as I think my current music selection and I may now be fed up of one another.

So, does anyone have any favourite music that they think would be suited for a jogging/cardio type playlist? Stuff that's worked for me before has often had a strong or steady beat, and I'm generally wired to be quite lyrics driven, so if the words are clever or memorable (or just fun to belt out on the inside of my head) then I'm likely to find them motivational.

...this is probably terribly vague. *Makes hopeful eyes at the internet*

Oh, thank you! I am pretty sure I will be making inadvisable dance-moves-while-running to Queen, but it'll definitely keep me going :-D

I have no idea if this will help, not having listened to it? But poking at the fanmix comm turned up this: http://drumming-noise.livejournal.com/23107.html.

I'm going to try and recommend you stuff you probably won't find on your own.
Keep in mind, I don't know anything about the genres you like; or have any examples to go on...

Krewella:
-https://soundcloud.com/krewella
-Recomended Songs:
----One Minute (scroll to bottom)
----Strobelights
Most of their songs are free (including the above two) but that doesn't mean they aren't awesome. Krewella sounds professionally grade. They have a beat that says 'pumped' and have much more vocals than you'd expect from traditional dubstep/electo.

Lana Del Ray:
-Recommended Songs:
----This is what makes us girls
----Born to Die
----Dark Paradise
-Definitely slower thank Krewella. I tend to jog/walk or end my run/walk with this.

Eva Simonns:
-Recommended Songs:
----I don't like you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIHwEaCY9As
----Take over Control (with afrojack)
----Renagade http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC_5L23Bmwg
----Silly Boy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqvVFfi5DRI

Nicole Scherzinger:
-This ex-pussycat doll is making a single name for herself. If you like more pop and less beat, she is pretty good:
-Recommended Songs:
----Don't hold your breath: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4nKOzk8qbw love this one
----Right There: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-vTaktsUSw
-She also sings some softer songs too.

Marina and the Diamonds:
-Recommended Songs:
----How to be a heartbreaker http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97-ju1XSV40
