Any AC/DC.
Angus and the boys do it for me every time.
Only spinning though, i don't use music on the road, i think it can be dangerous. (ducks down and wait for the incoming flack)
It is extremely difficult to find a pop song at Largo pace for when I'm 60kms from home and facing a headwind. But Polly come home by Alison Kraus and Robert Plant seems to do the job.
Most mainstream electronic dance music (techno, trance) is, if I recall correctly, somewhere in 120-140 territory, which is not going to match any comfortable cadence for most people. Pretty much all drum & bass is around the 170bpm mark, so if your cadence is 85 - a bit slower than I'm really comfortable with, but OK for turbo sessions for recovery between intervals - that works quite nicely.
American concert marches are about 180bpm so perfect for setting a cadence of 90. Anything by Sousa eg Liberty Bell will do the trick
(I play in a brass band so am really uncool!)
'Lose yourself' I found to be a reasonable speed. I think I must have been pedalling on every other beat, though, at 171 bpm!
'Insomnia' by Faithless I found quite good when I was doing spinning classes. I expect most Kraftwerk would work too.
