Why do gyms play such crappy music?

Monotonous techno monopolizes the sound system at my local gym. Is it really the best music for working out?

    Hey...I like Electrionica

    Actually, I like electronica and some techno. At the gym I used to go to, they used to play a lot of R&B and soul from teh late 70s/early 80s. The new gym I go to has TVs with cable attached to all the cardio machines and I find watching TV to be even better for my workout because if soothing interesting is on TV, it will keep me from getting bored and therefore I will work out longer.

    But really, in today's world of portable music and mp3 players with 30 and even 100GB memories, just bring your iPOd if you don't like teh gym's music.
