Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I don't listen to anything like that really, I download mixes at ETN.FM or just record them when I stream them to my pc. Put that on my iPod and there ya go.

Pretty much everything Mr. Wiggles listed is false metal (or false hardcore, or false screamo, or whatever). It's a fact.

Understanding- I LOVE all the screamo **** you listed. You get into Charles Bronson or Orchid at all?
*edit- the real screamo (pg 99, city of cat, etc.)
Call it what you want, I never said it was metal...If you have to think you're the music guru then kudos to you, I just listen to whatever makes me ride with a vengeance.

my ride is completely on the street, so i can't really rock out listening to anything.
Kidcrash and Pg.99 are my jams! I cannot get over the guitar work on jokes...it takes me back to the days of Hot Cross.

Orchid= of course. As well as Ampere, bucketfullofteeth, wolves, montecalm....

I can't really listen to other kinds of music while riding. It's distracting. Few lyrics, no interruptions between tracks, solid beats to get your mojo flowing... It's the way to go. Plus drum and bass still owns.

Easy captain, yes you are right I made a typo. Let me give you a little tidbit, I personally bought that album from Kool Keith in 1988 at a meet and great album release in NYC. I love late 80's and 90's hip hop. Rap today is garbage and will never have history.

Man there's a lot of stuff here I've not even heard of. Makes me feel old or out of the loop... or both!

Not a top ten, but since my fileserver was down for 6 months of (the whole) summer, I've been stuck on the same tunes since May, they seem to suit my varying moods/riding styles.

Right now on my creative stone plus (2gb):

In Flames - Come Clarity
Course of Nature - Damaged
Course of Nature - Superkala
Evans Blue - The Pursuit Begins When This Portrayal of Life Ends
Evans Blue - The Melody And The Energetic Nature of Volume
The Killers - Hot Fuss
Killswitch Engage - As Daylight Dies
Madball - Legacy
Massive Attack - Mezzanine
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Pink Floyd - A Momentary Lapse of Reason
Pink Floyd - The Division Bell
Portishead - Dummy
Portishead - Portishead
The Prodigy - Experience
The Prodigy - Music For The Jilted Generation
Rodrigo y Gabriela - Rodrigo y Gabriela
Silverstein - Discovering the Waterfront
Staind - Chapter V
Ugly Duckling - Taste the Secret
Various Artists - The Original Doo Wop Album
Three Days Grace - One X

And the few singles I have:

T'Pau - Heart and Soul
T'Pau - Whenever you need me
When in Rome - The Promise
Atomic Rooster - Devil's Answer
Atomic Rooster - Tomorrow Night
MIA - Paper Planes
The Proclaimers - Letter from America
The Proclaimers - I'm Gonna Be (500 miles)
The Illuminati - On Borrowed Time
The Illuminati - Lay Low

Eclectic, to some degree... my musical tastes vary a lot and over time I've learned to not give a turd about what others think and admit that yes, I like listening to the Spice Girls or Vivaldi right in between some Beastie Boys and Sepultura - I like what I like.

It's hard to say... my favorite album is Pentagram, but I think my second is Twilight of the Idols so...

I like Gaahl more as an individual/performer on the whole though.

I assume you've seen the VBS videos right?
