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 guess those are all fine...for little girls who like to play with Barbie dolls. I wouldn't know. My choices would be

Toby Kieth - The Angry American
Giuseppe Verde - The Triumphal March from Aida
and the ultimate
Richard Wagner - Ride of the Valkyries (I love the smell of napalm in the morning.)

Several other songs have a close third.

Primus. Jerry was a race car driver. (Willy was a track bike rider.. my version).
Jay Z. 99 Problems. (It's got that BIG sound).
The Orb. Transamerican Express Highway. (long and trancy)

I'm kind of liking the new Prodigy album. But undecided.
Haven't heard the new Prodigy.

99 Problems is probably my favorite song off the Grey Album.

However, I've always connected Primus with mtn. biking. The first time I heard them I was 15 and a mechanic from our LBS and one of his riding buddies took my brother and I up into the local mountains for our first ever ride on our area's finest singletrack (Santa Ana River Trail. SoCal mtb'ers will probably recognize the name.). My brother raved about this great band that Leonard was playing, so on the way back down the hill we switched vehicles and I got to listen to Seas Of Cheese and it blew my mind which was already reeling from epic singletrack. Memorable day that .

Lots of good music in this thread. Think I'll peruse it for all the songs I actually own and try them out on a "commuting" playlist .

Anyone geek out enough to pay attention to where they are at certain times in a commute or regular route and build a playlist accordingly? Fast songs at the bases of hills, slower stuff for flat cruisy sections, etc.

Not sure I could narrow it down to three, but three that spring to mind are:

Tom Waits - Goin' Out West
Op Ivy - Sound System
Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy

-Trevor

ahhhh, good ol' Tom Waits. It's funny how that guy just always finds his way into my cd player.
Tom waits- Hoist that rag
Tom Waits - Jockey full of bourbon
Jimi Hendrix/Band of gypsys-Machine gun
But it all depends on how I feel like riding really. Some music will help me ride like a maniac where as others will get me through all smooth like.

the motorik sound makes a fitting soundtrack for the union of man and machine. Wire's "two people in a room" is pretty awesome in the same way too. makes me want to spin at 90rpms....

Compilation?

There was a single from the 70's, but the album with 12 tracks is new.
