Your Favourite Spinning Tracks?
Last winter I completed around 1500 miles on my Turbo and this year it looks like I'll have to sit on the *!<>%#!! thing even more as I have a shoulder operation coming up in a couple of weeks. Unlike some I don't mind these sessions (mostly at 06.30 before work) but only made endurable with the aid of music. Trouble is I'm getting a bit tired of the tracks, having used them for the last three or four years (see list below)
Can anyone suggest any of their own that I can add to my playlists?
David Bowie & Mick Jagger – Dancing In The Street
Dire Straits – Walk Of Life
Bob Dylan – Things Have Changed
Duffy – Mercy
Bloc Party – Helicopter
Queen – Don't Stop Me Now
Billy Joel – We Didn't Start The Fire
Kings Of Leon – Sex on Fire
Bloc Party – Price Of Gasoline
Bloc Party – Like Eating Glass
Elton John – Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)
Snow Patrol – You're All I Have
Maximo Park – Once, A Glimpse
Mumford & Sons – The Cave
Bloc Party – She's Hearing Voices
Bonnie Tyler – Holding Out for a Hero
Dr. Feelgood – Roxette
The Rolling Stones – Shake Your Hips
Maximo Park – Limassol
Bobby Darin – Mack the Knife
Cyndi Lauper – Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Van Morrison – Brown Eyed Girl
The Weather Girls – It's Raining Men
The Rolling Stones – Paint It Black
Bloc Party – Helicopter
Darude – Sandstorm
Snow Patrol – Open Your Eyes

I used to teach spinning 12 years ago, this was on the CD. Everyone loved it. Not quite Snow Patrol or Block Party though

Now I have been known to do the odd turbo session, and like you Paul I started to build up a regular play list. However, I then purchased a number of albums called "Running Trax". If you search on Amazon there are a whole host of them.

Okay admittedly one or two tracks can be a bit iffy and probably not ones that I would normally listen to, but if you buy the albums as a download just delete the one or two iffy ones.
I can also recommend any albums by David Guetta

To be honest, off the shelf music tracks for running / spinning / cycling, just give me an enormous headache.
Here are a few of my eclectic mix that are matched for tempo.
John Barry's Zulu, which is a slow paced hard slog. Ideal for imagining the hard relentless climb. And something more contemporary is Ms Mr's Hurricane
Reaktor's Can't Slow Down, a fast paced burst or wanderlust
Woodkid's Run Boy Run or Iron
Florence and the Machine's Spectrum contains variable tempo
and where would we be, without Norman Cook's classic Right Here; Right Now

All Depends on you cadence I supposelaurence_cooley wrote:I've found the latest Daft Punk and Arcade Fire albums quite good on the turbo this year. How anyone can ride to Snow Patrol, I don't know, so you have my respect for that Paul.
Films can be quite good too I once turboed though the first of the new Star Treck films so I cycled from Earth to Vulcan and back again ,Did think of putting in for the touring trophy for that one ! but no

But, yes, VERY short. Like, 5 mins and I'm bored. 10 mins and I want to go to the dentist and request an extraction without anaesthetic as a more interesting alternative!
