Best Music To Ride To

rksaw · 08-07-2008, 09:55 PM

After reading the post about Music Players, I was wondering who do you like to listen to when riding:

Personally, I like Eric Johnson's album Ah Via Musicom

The sound of the exhaust.

**Idaho** · 08-07-2008, 10:34 PM

Toby Keith, Garth Brooks, Martina McBride.

Very eclectic selections for me. My gps card has a few hundred songs on it ranging from jazz to classic rock to bluegrass to symphonic to funk to country, just about every genre of music.

Did you perform the Baffelectomy or put on aftermarket pipes?

I'm assuming that this thread is more about music in general, but what specific songs do you especially like to hear when out on your bike. There are some obvious ones; "Born to Be Wild" and "Magic Carpet Ride"by Steppenwolf, but what about the more lesser known ones? When I was in high school "Radar Love" by Golden Earing was one that we cruised to. "Hot Rod Lincoln" is another good oldie by Charlie Ryan. I personally enjoy "Rock Lobster", "Love Shack" and "Planet Claire" by the B52s to name just a few.

Just my opinion but I like to concentrate on the RIDE when I'm out on the bike. Music is just a distraction and I want my full attention on the situation around me.
To each their own as they say

Gotta have tunes -

Some favorites - Motley Crue, Alive/POD, Bodies/Drowning Pool, lots of Classic Rock like Train/Blackfoot, guitar stuff like Dream Theater, Eric Johnson, SRV - got about 4GB of riding tunes at the moment

My current stereo setup will migrate to the wife's bike in a week as I have a fairing on the way :)

I have a collection of everything from classical to opera, rock, bluegrass, and a pile of other stuff. But I primarily listen to country.

Baffelectomy

I have a 30GB Zune I listen to. 30 gigs is a lot of MP3s. I have the entire collections of Led Zeppelin, Rush, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Dream Theater, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Metallica, Guns and Roses, Deep Purple and a few others, in addition to an eclectic mix of albums by Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Jethro Tull, Aerosmith, Rolling Stones, George Thorogood, ZZ Top, Kiss, Kansas, Cheap Trick, Black Label Society, Slayer, Motorhead, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Jimi Hendrix, Santana, and many others.

I have a lot of metal and classic rock and a little bit of everything else, except country. I just can't handle that.
