Exercise music recommendations?

I've been using my 3G 20G ipod while fast walking/slow jogging on the treadmill and have been having fun finding music that is about the right speed for this -- music with a heavy and steady background/bass beat. I'm wondering if others have been putting together their own "Exercise" playlist. Any recommendations? Here are a few of the Pop/Oldies that I've found so far --

Ricky Martin's "She Bangs the Drum" and "The Cup of Life" and an oldie-but-goodie by Barry Manilow, "Some Kind of Friend". Also using some electronic classical by Born.

"Hypher Hyper" by AlpineStars has a plodding beat to it..
As does "Tyson Shuffle" by the Audio Bullys
And some others..
This Love - Maroon 5

Sam:

See if you can find a copy of Squeeze's 45/Singles, it's got a bunch of tunes thereon that would fit (no pun intended) your needs ;-)

Black Coffee in Bed, Cool for Cats and a couple others...it also serves a dual purpose being that it's "chick-friendly"

I'd also highly recommend Blue Man Group -- their first is "Audio" and their second "The Complex" are both pretty frenetic in pace, and worthwhile listens to boot.

Good luck! And ferchrissakes, make sure your iPod isn't bouncing along with you on the treadmill (if it's a lifecycle, pop the 'pod into the cupholder lest ye be stricken with a healthy body and an unhealthy iPod)...

Good luck
