Every spin class, everywhere it would seem:
1. Meatloaf - Bat out of Hell
2. Robert Miles - Children
3. Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
I was going to say Underworld - Born Slippy, but of course, that song cannot actually be overplayed.
Wow, I've never heard any of that in a spin class.
Ours were always remixed 90s and 00's house/trance/garage etc, anything that you could 'put a donk on' at 180bpm. Maybe its a northern thing!

Dunno about that, my spin instructor in Sheffield (James at Ponds Forge, no doubt someone else reading this will know him too) regularly drops Holding out for a Hero by Bonnie Tyler. Works surprisingly well.
Meatloaf? Queen?
I thought that spin classes, zumba classes, aerobics classes and all that kind of stuff was just where shit, cheesy 90's 'chart' house music went to die, while some demented yet surprisingly cheerful sadist shouts over the top of it?
I've never been to any of these things, obviously, but I just assumed that to be the case.
Is it not?
@binners I saw that you were the last reply and thought the world was close to the end of days. First a road bike, then spin class and finally full lycra. Thankfully it was a critique of the music not a confession. (Though you do sound rather knowledgable about how spin classes are run)
I don’t think I have heard those choices every played?
For me it’s
Louder
Greyhound
Cry for you
Spin class? Wot dat? Everybody doesn’t include me, or anyone I know for that matter.

I think it's riding a static bike in a gym, whilst listening to crap music?

@Sandwich - worry not, my friend. The sight of me in lycra is something I would never inflict on the world. Nobody deserves to see that! I'd look like a burst black pudding!
As far as the music is concerned, I'm aware of it from taking the kids for swimming lessons and the gym/spin class/aqua zumba/aerobics in close proximity would always be booming out 2 Unlimited or something equally dreadful
Not heard any of the OP's three choices at the spin classes I go to (three different instructors).
Bring Sally Up by Moby gets too many airings by one of my instructors and has now found it's way to kettlebell classes.
Chelsea Dagger also gets played a lot.
We had Bring Sally up too - seems to be a task led song as opposed to being something to block out the pain.

No, it's a southern thing too, Adele is bad enough pre-donk, post-donking it's not so much a solution to the suffering as just an alternative pain to focus on.
