I did a ride years ago, um, during the boom box years, and one guy dropped a box in his day pack, and we listened to the Doobie Brothers. It kept out minds on the music, or rather it kept our minds off our hurtin' legs, and we finished the ride in record time. Of course, all I can remember about the ride is the Doobie Brothers, not the scenery or the conversations... so I prefer silence when riding. Now, once I am home and need to relax, I break out the Partidge Family and Brady Bunch records! Did you know there is a seven-minute version of the theme to Sanford and Son? Truth!
