Ok so I realize this thread is going to lead to name calling but I though it would be fun.. So what do you jam while cycling or while preparing to ride if you don't listen -while- riding.

Mine are in no praticual order and often change but for now.

Black crowes- hard to handle
Blur - song 2
AC/DC - back in black
Outkast - B.O.B. bombs of baghdad
Luda- Rollout
311- omaha stylee
Beasti boys - paul revere
Mos def and talib kwali - Just to get by
NOFX - the brews
Rage against the machine - People of the sun

if I weren't concerned with hearing what was going on around me, I'd listen to nothing but blue grass. banjo's kind of get me all excited...

nature's music when in the dirt, human-made when on the fix or roadie...


i listen to music all day @ work. when i ride...i want to be consumed by all that is in that place @ that time, from the wind in the trees to the roar of engines as the cars go by...


now, if i'm on the trainer...wsp, moe., ymsb, beastie boys, etc...anything live i've recently d/l'ed

Hell yes, ACDC.. I don't listen while I ride, but I do enjoy music. Right now I've got on ACDC (always), David Bowie, MIA, TV on the Radio, Shellac, and Neil Young. Pretty weird mix I guess!

Slayer always, except for the new one, the covers one, and the live ones.

12 minute sprint up the hill set that still works after 1.5 years:

show me your heart - need new body
stigmata - ministry
nwo - ministry
death's head - slayer

On the trainer:

loud hooky college rock (Pixies, Thermals, Cat Claw by the Kills)
grindcore (and specifically *not* death metal, which is too soloey/atmospheric for me - Nasum, Pig Destroyer, Rotten Sound, Cephalic Carnage, Kill The Client)

My music collection consist of one cd that contains reggae music that I don't listen to, so my other option would be to listen to whatever is on the radio. Gezz, I suck don't I.

Similar boat (except I have 3 cd's).

I've been listening to technical podcasts on my mp3...

TALIB KWELI

I love the wu, Mos def, BTNH, Immortal technique, C-rayz walz

I love underground hip hop. Mainstream rap mostly is crap, underground is so much better.

Eye of the Tiger. But then you have to jump off your bike and run up a flight of stairs.

I don't usually ride with music, but on those rare occasions: Bloc Party, Spoon - Gimme Fiction, Anniemal, Mastodon - Leviathan, Sage Francis (especially A Healthy Distrust for the opening of "The Buzz Kill"), NOFX, Neutral Milk Hotel
