I'm also asking for trouble....

[mankie]

but......I've been asked if I'd like to teach a spinning class, and I'm considering it because it might be fun. If I did I'd like to mix a couple of very unique cd's for the class.
 
 Your assignment, should you decide to accept, is to suggest songs form your vast collection that would be great for spinning to.
 
 Remember, there's spinning, spin and sprint, hill climbs, runs and standing climbs to consider.
 
 And for the benefit of the board comedians, they don't have to be about bikes or cycling...it's the beat, tempo and rythm that makes a good spinning song.

where are you planning on teaching the class?

[joz]

how about some aphex twin?  that'll make them sweat.

Kraftwerk's Tour de France is relevant and has a good beat to it.
 
 ACDC [Highway to Hell or Back in Black albums] always makes me drive fast, maybe it would make me spin fast too.
 
 I've noticed when DJing that bluegrass tends to get people really wound up.
 
 And so does old-school punk rock.

Anything from the Franz Ferdinand disc could work.

For a spinning class?  Most Air songs make me want to sit on the couch, and most Sigur Ros songs make me want to fall asleep.

Any high BPM europop disco. I know you have plenty in you collection.
 
 My favourite cycling song was:
 
 Everybody hurts sometimes REM...
 
 They always had that on the tannoy for near the end of races.
