For the past week, I've been trying to get myself back in shape and I've been putting together workout mixes to keep me motivated while I try to drop the pounds.
What song recommendations do you have? Preferably high energy tracks.

Depends what kind of exercise you'll be doing. I normally cycle.
You should try and get songs with a fast pace and loud drums.
Queens of the Stone Age - Anything off Songs For The Deaf such as Millionaire
The Stooges - Search & Destroy
Iron Maiden - The Trooper
Beastie Boys - Sabotage
Foo Fighters - The Pretender
The Hold Steady - Constructive Summer
The Velvet Underground - I'm Waiting For My Man
Modest Mouse - Float On
Muse - The Small Print
Rage Against The Machine - Anything by these guys
We Are Scientists - Nobody Move, Nobody Gets Hurt
Gallows - In the Belly of a Shark
Or you could go with
Kanye West - The New Workout Plan

New Killer Star by Bowie - seriously, if this doesn't make you want to dance along, there's something very wrong with you.
Somethin' Hot - the Afghan Whigs.
Hey Boy Hey Girl - Chemical Brothers
Imperium - Machinehead

Bombs over Baghdad by Outkast. This song makes me run like someone is chasing me and I hate running.

If you run, any haircut music will do (Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab outdoors is great). If you lift, nothing has gotten me more pumped than Age of Conflict by the Cro Mags on a heavy day. On endurance day, pump Yank Crime by Drive like Jehu.
