Songs to spin by

[Miranda]

Hmmm, I'm so bad about knowing the name of the songs. I was an indoor spinner first, before I re-found the love of outside. There are many songs I hear in my vehicle that make it difficult for me to drive because my legs want to do pedaling related things.

Here's a few songs. My songs go with mini-mental vacations. Great thing about riding inside, you can close your eyes and check out, without worrying about getting "taken out".

Green Day "Nice Guys Finish Last"
you can still be nice... BUT DON'T FINISH LAST! pick it up, baby

Nickleback "Far Away"
the guitar is so sweeping, it feels like flying at wharp speed around a sea side mountain on a perfectly paved cliff road, and curvy... no cars, it's safe

Creed "With Arms Wide Open"
sweeping down the mountainside to the finish line, everyone that has ever cared about you in cycling is there with open arms to celebrate victory

Creed "My Own Prison"
hard climb til ya puke song, like prison chains are draggin behind your wheel... only you are tougher to break jail

Baha Men "Who Let The Dogs Out"
nothing like a good dog chasing to pedal like he$$

***** Cat Dolls "How Many Lies, How Many Times"
jazz horn, wet dark cold inner big city back streets, heavy pedaling/resistance... like ya mean it with a purpose, no lookin back GF

Sister Sledge "We Are Family"
perfect sunny day, best club/friends ride for nothin but fun... 'have faith in you, and the things you do'... sing it now

Jo Dee Messina "Burn"
have a passion...
"Bring On The Rain"
regardless of what life brings us, we're strong... even if it is being stuck inside on the trainer


This is not the thread I was thinking of, but it has some links to sites I know our gym spin teachers use still. Seems like it was a five star rated thread in the spinning section. Maybe someone else might have a memory jog...

I think I have very broad musical tastes. I like everything from classical to Country to classic rock to hard rock...but no hip hop for me! For spinning, I like loud, energetic music.

I just bought the Seether CD - Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces. Love it! I'll admit there are a couple of tracks with a little more screaming than I generally like, but for the most part, a really good CD.

Crank it up to eleven and listen to Foo Fighters-The Pretender

Pretty much everything the Crazy Cannuck said plus....

Anything Meatloaf - special mentions to Bat Out of Hell and Paradise by the Dashboard Lights (and they are long too)

Anything from the Blues Brothers (and I have the jersey to match too) so just shake that tailfeather!

Lynard Skynard - Sweet Home Alabama (and I'll even give Kid Rock's latest thing a try when I get around to it)

Wolfmother - Joker and the Thief
Smashmouth - Walking on the Sun
Girls Aloud - Jump (for my love)

Chris Rea - nearly anything will do

Oh - and the obligatory collection of Star Wars Theme, Rocky's Theme, Eye of the Tiger... probably a bit naff but they still really do it for me riding or running!

KT Tunstall - Suddenly I See

Elvis Presley - the remix they did of Little Less Conversation is sensational for intervals (and long too)

And surprisingly, some Dixie Chicks, Garth Brooks, any of Robbie Williams' Swing While You're Winnning, any Bob Seger. And on mellow days - a run with Norah Jones or Joshua Groban or the Ten Tenors singing something really loud in Italian really hits the spot.

It's all good!!

You spin me right round baby right round... now it's in my head.

Dead or Alive - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMwdAc1Dzfg

My husband and I have about six different bike thrash mixes. Most include Pearl Jam, REM, the Who, Queen(i want to ride my bicycle), stained, judas priest, epic, pantera, motorhead, Bush, Metallica, Three doors down, Black crowes, etc. It has to be loud and upbeat.

Oooooooooooooooo

What have you done?!?! NOW it is in my head too.

Somehow... I just can't get the picture of that guy with his hair sticking straight out of the sides of a Giro helmet... but only on one side.




btw, I do like the song though.

AGH!!! I feel so old..I remember watching that video on Video Hits in the 80's. Pete Burns was odd...

Lynard Skynard - Sweet Home Alabama (and I'll even give Kid Rock's latest thing a try when I get around to it)

Skip that track and listen to Rock and Roll Jesus instead

Skip that track and listen to Rock and Roll Jesus instead

Hmm - that seems pretty cool.

Actually the main reason I liked his latest offering was that it pretty much ripped off two songs I liked a lot the first time around and I thought he did a good job in how he used them.

Kid Rock hasn't really been a big thing over here in Oz (until this song which is getting lots of airplay) other than for his "What WAS he thinking?!" taste in marrying Pamela Anderson!
