Never fails!

Also most types of trance will work.

And if you're the type that works well on agression something like

Def agree.

Get a couple of the compilations albums, they are already mixed into like 70 - 80 minute sets straight through, pretty solid

 

[David Suro]

Rage Against the Machine works well for intervals.

Bob Marley works well for long-slow-distance type of work.

Some guilty pleasures:

Pink
The Go-Go's


Allright! All this thinking about it has me ready to tuck this belly into some bibs and go to the rollers!

Nice choice

The new Slayer album World Painted Blood

Girl Talk

There's a band/guy called Girl Talk, and all he does is make these crazy extended mashups. I've had the album "Feed the Animals" on pretty much continuous loop since last cross season. It's a mix of, well damn, pretty much everything you can think of, but has a mostly hip-hop feel to it. There's a lot of it on YouTube, but don't watch, just listen. Jay-Z up against Radiohead, Lil John up against Procul Harum... radical. I use it mostly for multi-terrain rides, I guess, since the changes in bpm match the change in terrain. Good for winter cross rides on the local Boulder trails...

Sh!t, I should've gone for a ride today. Hate these short winter days.

I saw Girl Talk live last year. Who knew some dork sitting in front of a computer by himself on stage could be such a big draw. Also, I've never seen so many good looking women in one place here at 1st Ave in Minneapolis where the show was at. I felt like I was in Montreal instead.

I would agree, great training mix.

Lots of Drum and Bass, Jungle is sick...all depends what type of ride you want to do. DJ Shadow, RJD2...not all of them only certain releases. I like some of the Radio 1 mixes -- Paul Oakenfold, DJ Tiesto...Sound Tribe Sector Nine's new one is sick. I used to listen to mixes with Tool and the Deftones. I have found that tight hitting drums are the best...not too bassy
120bpm gets you going - as long as its not too repetitive and sans singing for trance, which is getting harder to find when you look on iTunes top picks and such.
Aggro interval riding: (some of these may make your ears bleed but the intensity is undeniable)
Ministry: Land of Rape and Honey, The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste
Skinny Puppy: (Lots of different releases)
Deftones: Around the Fur
Tool: Aenema (hard hitting drummer..wow)
Janes Addiction: Nothing Shocking

For medium tempo rides and base miles:
STS9
The Roots
MIA
Santogold
Mattafix
Aphex Twin
Massive Attack
Mogwai
Apparat
Girltalk is cool (especially if you have song ADHD, its just an amalgamation of all sorts of songs you like put to bass and beats)
What do you listen to now?
Check out some of the ones I posted...if you don't like them, I have more

Damn, man -- I would love to see him live. I've seen some concert footage and pictures; the scene looks fantastic. Lotta freaks.

Nice! Thanks for the tips. I heard some RJD2 for the first time last night; a friend is going to hook me up with some.
The XX is one of my new favorites. Not really great for riding, but excellent for making out.

Robert Tepper - No Easy Way Out
Survivor - Eye of the Tiger
Tupac - Changes
Tupac - They Don't Give a **** About Us
Tupac - Hit 'em Up
Motorhead - Overkill
Creed - No Sacrifice

Most of the songs are quite old, but they are still great music for training purposes

Use the Genius feature in iTunes, it gives some great mixes.

Don't usually listen to house music, just when I'm in Europe where it's unavoidable. But when I'm givin' it the mustard on the rollers sometimes I like to listen to LAWNCHAIR GENERALS 'Around The Block', which is perfect roller time 1:15
