Aggression Song Pick! For Cycling and Racing Motivation

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Weirdly perhaps, I happen to like music tied to exciting movies that I like, many times when I otherwise I would not like the music in question. For instance, the best national anthem in the World IMO is the Soviet/Russian National Anthem, which became my instant favorite the moment Ivan Drago appeared on stage in Rocky IV. YouTube also has a looped TEN-HOUR BloodRave (from the opening bar scene in Blade) that I crank when I jump rope. I couldn’t stand Lowrider until it had a cameo appearance in Nicholas Cage’s Gone in 60 Seconds.

Blink and you'll miss it, but I am one of the stage divers...

Haven't listened to this concert in a while, thanks

Oh man o man, I'm SO GLAD you asked!!

I have no good reason why, cuz I'm not a dyed in the wool metal fan (though I have respect for the genre), this song always comes into my mind when I'm breaking 40 mph downhill, made a gnarly corner or hopped a huge pothole:

If I'm really looking to get fired up, I like to throw on some Sufjan Stevens...
