Top songs to listen to while ridin

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...

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)
