Favorite non-Irish music to practice with

[reelgatorstreble]

What is everyone's favorite non-Irish dance music to practice Irish dance to? My teacher has told me you can treble reel to a lot of songs, like Devil Went Down to Georgia and some Britney Spears songs, but I'm not very good at hearing the counts in non-Irish songs. I would love to have other songs to practice with, so what are you favorites? I love rock and alternative, but pop or whatever could work too... I'd love a song with jig timing so I can do my treble jig to it, as the treble reel is very new to me. Although, if it's in reel time, I can do some soft shoe.

So! Please suggest some different kinds of music and songs I could practice to, hard shoe and/or soft, any of the dances really. Thanks! I think I saw something about green day in the magazine several years ago, but I can't remember the song or the dance I could do to it.

I know they are old songs but loads of the abba songs have good dance timing!!The faster ones kinda lift your spirits too its great!!

Cotton Eyed Joe by the Cheiftans is really great! I know it's more Irishy but it's still really cool! C'est la Vie by B*Witched is a really good treble reel.

For doing warmups, I love doing The Rocky Theme (Gonna Fly Now), Eye of the Tiger and Remember the Name.
