I f*cking hate spinning to drums. I hate hate hate hate it. Most people cant keep a beat, and I think it sounds  anyway even if they can keep the beat. Im really sick of this whole "firespinning and drum cicle" thats goes on. Ive actually been encouraged to come to a free spinning doo-dah by someone saying "Im sure we can get a few drums down there". Its usually then that I say "well in that case....... im definitely not going!" - Their face is usually a very funny picture - a mixure to confusion, amazement and shock. 
Its like the way most people assume fire spinners all love psytrance and play nothing but it at spinning meets.
oh hear hear 
biggest turn off for me going to anything is the music that's played. Can't stand psytrance or drumming circles - even good ones...gives me a headache after not very long
so, to answer Antti's question:
1. psytrance
2. drums
3. firestarter - prodigy...

Lady Marmalade. A bit obvious but since it's been popping up lately I had to mention it.

Top 3 musics not to use for performance:
1) Anything I want to use.
2) Something I now REALLY want to use having just heard it while watching your performance.
3) Anything I don't like.
4) Something I don't like and is over used.
5) Something I like, but which is over used.

Firestarter is banned by our troupe... other than that anything goes!
Although thinking about it there is a video somewhere of me spinning to the Bee Gees! I loose it half way through the routine and just stop and look towards the DJ... I just couldn't get back into the flow after that.

Hmmm.... I put my mp3 player on shuffle when I am practicing.
If something works, it works. But I usually do not do real shows, just impromptu things at home.
I have spun to drums as well. The drum circle at Rhodes is not bad but I prefer to spin to my own tune that is running through my head.

Didn't I put Cirque du Soleil on the list before? You're so right. Never ever ever use their music. Even their show Delirium is too much when CdS recycles their own music. Argh. Quess what the last song was? Happy uptempo let's all join hands and believe in the goodness of mankind version of Alegria. Aaargh.
They do have good music but again it's used and used again. And even though most of the common folk wouldn't know it I know it. And that's all that matters right? Right.

hehehe just had a good laugh reading the whole thread.:D 1. Anything from Hilight Tribe. Seriously, please, no. Either on videos or shows, I can't take it anymore...  2. Cheesy movie soundtracks suck as Rocky (yes, i've seen it happen, it's not a pretty sight...) or Kill Bill, or other already spoken of in the thread. 3. (i'm leaving this space for later). Antti if you hate Gotan Project then you should *definatly* check out my new video !

Antti you ass! They weren't bad choices... they were all specifically picked to be as accessible as possible; to make our show commercially viable! I think the word you were looking for was mainstream pop. Us choosing music like this makes our show more accessible to audiences, thus raising the level of knowledge and appreciation for the fire arts.... thus allowing you do perform your arty tech wank (  ) and get away with it... without our "bad choises" you wouldn't have such a platform to be so un-mainstreamly and technically brilliant. As a footnote: we all hated Children and wanted to find a replacement but it proved very hard.... and the beginning is really quite beautiful. :P
