Riding music?

Good one Trouble......Spirited riding....definitely Def Leppard or AC/DC.......but with kayak and trailer in tow.....James Taylor and John Denver. Great question. Jeff.

Whatever's playing on Pandora on my Samantha James station. I end up with a lot of soulful house music, and also a lot of Swing Out Sister and Shakatak, two of my all time favorite bands.

If I use my MP3s in my Garmin, there's a lot of jazz, but every now and then George Thorogood will have to be belting out Bad to the Bone and I'll suddenly be scootin' a bit faster.

Queen and Abba mostly and Steeleye Span for a change.

The first two are not my choice of listening at other times - they are so familiar I don't need to think about them when I'm riding.

I don't generally ride with music, but if I do this is the type for me. Makes the smile grow.

Amazing stuff, with an even more amazing message! The live shows are an experience.

I like an eccletic mix, country, jazz, rock (some) 60's 70's, and even bluegrass.


The best thing is singing along REaL loud and noone cares .

MaxB,

It sounds like you can carry a tune. Sometimes on longer striches of highway I sing out loud to myself. It's kinda funny when a car comes up along side me when I'm singing.

They all look over and I wave at them and they wave back. They must think I'm crazy.

Thank GOD for windsheilds!

If I set out on a long ride, I'll setup a few playlists.
This way I can choose,
Harder rock at night for when I would normally be less alert.
I stay away from long songs like "Freebird" because they can get monotonous.
Also stay away from spoken word programs I have to concentrate on to understand.
Classic driving music for when I first start out each day.
Music appropriate for where I am, i.e. songs about Tennessee while riding thru Tenessee.
etc.

The only music I listen to is the great sound of the 582cc parallel twin under load.

A little swing, some western oldies, dowop, Southern Gospel, Marty Robbins, Ray Price, jazz, you get the drift I like old stuff from the thirty's thru the sixties.
