Songs to walk to?

I've started regularly walking with my ipod to keep me moving and I had the radio playing this morning as I walked to my friends house. On came Blockbuster by Sweet and I realised it was just the right number of beats per minute to walk at a brisk pace.

I was just hoping someone could suggest some songs that are similar in beat to keep my pace and then I could download them with my spare credit on Mflow. I'm not that clever as to be able to just listen to a song sat by my computer. I'm mid-40's so not into too much of the new stuff.

I'm not sure if I'm asking the impossible but thanks anyway!

Thanks for that list! Maybe I should just have a pen and paper with me when I'm walking. I did notice the new Beedy Eye (half of Oasis) song was the right pace.
Maybe there's a money making idea to bring out a CD range... 'Walk in the 80's', 'Walk ahead with Oasis'

It's a new song but not that "modern" but Never Gonna Leave This Bed by Maroon 5 is good for walking! I actually heard it on Radio 2, and Taylor Swift pointed out that it had a great beat for walking so I tried it and it does!

Funnily enough I was just thinking about this today. I got an Ipod Shuffle off DH and the kids for my birthday and have all sorts of weird and wonderful mixes of songs on it. Bearing in mind I'm a bit of an 80's child, I've found the following songs suit my pace:

Right by my Side - Eurythmics
Don't Stop Believing - Glee Cast
Speak Like a Child - The Jam
Lets Dance - David Bowie
Delilah - Plain White Ts
Mr Blue Sky - ELO
Reach - S Club 7
Cruel to be Kind - Nick Lowe
Blue Monday -New Order(bit tedious tho)
Damned if I Do - All Time Low
Dolce Vita - Ryan Paris (an old cheesy 80s disco pop type thing!)
Sometimes I have to stop stop myself from doing little skip-hops in time to the music tho :rotfl:
