Subject: The best songs to spin with?
Ok it's that time of year again - spinning inside. I am always looking for new songs to spin with on my IPOD. I am sure you guys have some favorites to do intervals by, long spins, climb...
What are they?
My favorite to warm up with is Two Step by the Dave Matthews Band the song is 19 Minutes long!
See ya Chris

I love white guys with dreads and I am fairly open-minded with music, but I didn't understand a word they were screaming.

On my iPod, I have a SPIN Sprint and a SPIN Hill song list. Some of my personal favorites to SPIN to:

Cake - I will survive. Good slow tempo to climb to

Moby - Extreme ways (Steep climb)

Chemical Brothers - Galvanize

Garbage - Push it (Great rolling hills tune using the faster tempo to sprint the other side)

Pearl Jam - Even flow

Phantom planet - Know it all (rolling)

James Brown - Sex Machine (Sprinting)

Gomez - Machismo (gone in 60 seconds soundtrack)

Rob D - Clubbed to Death (Matrix soundtrack) 7:26 and good climbing song.

These are a few of my fav's. Check them out.

How about the Sneaker Pimps "Spin Spin Sugar" The Armin Van Helden mix is the best. About 7 minutes long, good BPM. My wife teaches spin classes, about 8-10 per week, and I do all her spin music. She just tells me what BPMs she wants and where and I accomodate. If you ever want some more in depth play lists, let me know. I can even email one song at a time.

We should hang out. Everybody has such diverse musical tastes here. I enjoy seeing all the different things that people train to, and it does help me expand a bit more. On your playlist, I would add some early Deftones, and let er rip! My wife calls all that type of music "screamers," as they don't really sing, but there is nothing better on a hill or a sprint than Chino or Zach(ratm) kicking my *** to go harder, faster, better.... like the 6 million dollar man, yo! ("yo" added for emphasis, not part of my normal verbiage}

"Get Free" The Vines (I gotta!)
"Don't Look Back" Boston (classic)
"Play that Funky Music" Wild Cherry (lil funk!)
"Steve McQueen" Sheryl Crow (who's that guy she married?)
"You Spin Me Right Round" Dead or Alive (80s baby!)
"Thunderstruck" AC/DC (now that's what they call metal)
"Pretty Fly" The Offspring (some post grunge pop!)
"Loose Yourself" Eminem (overused but works)
"Hate to Say I Told You So" The Hives (because i wanna)
"Can't Stop" Red Hot Chilli Peppers (WU)
"Midnight Rider" The Allman Brothers (CD) (never going to catch me no!)
"Little Acorns" The White Stripes (different)

this is my new mix for the cruise interval workout. have't tried it out yet, but i have biked to most of these songs. beats per minute can REALLY influence how fast i spin (or not), so some of these may get switched to something else if the bpm is off. added in some richard cheese to help me smile during sets

16:00 warm up

brass monkey - richard cheese version
honey - moby
the bike - amy correia
you learn - alanis morissette
flying v - they might be giants


38:00 main set (5 x 6:00 @ 90-95 rpm, 4 x 2:00 recovery intervals)

the distance - cake (yes, this is the best trainer song ever!)
soon - the squirrel nut zippers
let's get it started - richard cheese version (funny - recovery)
go faster! - willie wisely
what is it - black eyed peas
been caught stealing - richard cheese version (funny - recovery)
know your onion! - the shins
sabrosa - the beastie boys
fight for your right to party - richard cheese version (funny - recovery)
this boy - franz ferdinand
bodyrock - moby
material girl - richard cheese version (funny - recovery)
give me the cure - fugazi
well that was easy - franz ferdinand

5:00 cool down

shake it loose - mo' horizons
