I've been keeping a little tempos database, containing information on as many very familiar tracks as I can manage- mainly tempo, meter, and style. These are a handy mnemonic device for picking tempos out of the air, and are just good general knowledge of the terrain of music, so I'll be posting more of these from time to time, on a variety of themes. Today it's also a good excuse to take a minute and appreciate the Rolling Stones:
