Need Recommendations: Good Spinning Songs

What's you favorite songs to spin to? I have several more weeks indoors up
here in WI.

Thanks

I'm a child of the 70's. Here's my favorite albums. I used to burn mixes
of various tracks but it became too much of a pain to do. Usually I throw
on a CD, strap on my HRM spin for the length of the disc.
Alan Parsons Project: Instrumental Works
Jethro Tull: Aqualung
King Crimson: In the Court of the Crimson King
Santana: Best of Santana
Weather Report: Heavy Weather
Meat Loaf: Bat Out of Hell
Another thing I recently did was subscribe to MSN Music. They have
streaming 'mood' stations. I tried the workout station and found it to be
obnoxious and overbearing. Kind of like going to the local Golds Gym but
without the gym bunnies to eye up.

I usually think of this sort of thing in album terms.

Arrested Development: "3 Years, 5 Months and 2 Days in the Life
Of...,"

Social Distortion: "Social Distortion"

Talking Heads: "Remain in Light"

I'd think of more, but weather's warm enough to ride outside here in
Virginia, yay!

Talking Heads: "Remain in Light"

Good, but TH77.

I'll keep it under advisement.

The other thing to do is ride to the album of "Stop Making Sense."

but I have to fight the temptation to do the Big Stupid Suit dance.

'Psycho Killer' would be right up there.

'No Compassion' might require BioPace, since it's so
syncopated.

'Thank You For Sending Me An Angel' (from 'More Songs
About Buildings & Food') might be good to spin to.

When ppl ask about what songs they should listen to,
maybe the timing and phase of the moon has much to
do with the suggestions given. Right now I'm tempted
to suggest a bunch of those Telemann concertos with
recorders in 'em, and Paganini's Caprices. And maybe
some Alice Cooper. And the 2nd movement of Beethoven's
8th symphony.

I dunno. Maybe when ppl have to ask what to listen to,
something ain't right. Folks should know what they want
from the outset.

I'm gonna listen to the Fred McDowell 'You've Got to Move',
and then listen to some mellow Al Stewart 'Year of the Cat'
stuff. And then kick into some Led Zep -- especially the
heavy 'No Quarter' on The Song Remains the Same. And then
play my own rendition of Johnny Horton's 'Honky Tonk Man'
on my home-built hammered dulcimer. And then go to bed.
After eating a couple of hot dogs. Anyhow, I've gotta
pee like a plough horse right now, so g'night.


cheers,
Tom

Well, since one of my legs is shorter than the other,
I like to spin to a waltz.

See, Psycho Killer has some pluses and minuses. It's not fast enough
to get a decent cadence going unless you're climbing out of the
saddle....

The big plus is that you can shout out those bits in French:

"CE QUE J'AI FAIT--CE SOIR LA!
CE QU'ELLE A DIT--CE SOIR LA!
REALISANT MON ESPOIR,
JE ME LANCE VERS LA GLOIRE....!"

Okay, so I confess to doing that occasionally when on the road.

'No Compassion' might require BioPace, since it's so
syncopated.

'Thank You For Sending Me An Angel' (from 'More Songs
About Buildings & Food') might be good to spin to.


See, I prefer the "Remain in Light" album as spin fodder because it's
relentlessly upbeat almost the whole way through. "Born Under
Punches," "Crosseyed and Painless" & "The Great Curve" keep you
spinning away at a respectable cadence...and when you sprint at the
end of "curve" you have a nice recovery with "Once in a Lifetime,"
just before you pick it back up again with "Houses in Motion."

Plus, those Brian Eno keyboard bits are great for spinning to.

Paganini: yes.

I'm surprised nobody's picked any opera-- the Soldiers' Chorus from
"The Decembrists," for instance, or Nixon's "news" aria from "Nixon in
China." And, since it's Lent, there's always Verdi's
Requiem--nothing to motivate you to greater heights of self-denial
like the very trumpets of doomsday!

Yup!

I forgot an indispensible album, though: Gin Blossoms "New Miserable
Experience." Not only does the title aptly describe a session on the
trainer, but it's just upbeat enough to follow, with enough bits mixed
in for recovery.

-Luigi

"well tell me do you think it'd be all right
if I could just crash here tonight--
You can see I'm in no shape for ridin'
and anyway I got no place to go"
-apologies to Gin Blossoms, "Hey Jealousy"
