Taniwha said:Explosions in the sky, Mogwai, GYBE, The Mars Volta all work a treat, and Wilco and Golden Smog for just cruising along.
LOL, I can understand that, but find the rhythm good for efforts, especially EITS's Those Who Tell the Truth, it just takes the mind off the effort.DickRhee said:I really enjoy EITS, Mogwai and Godspeed, but I can't imagine any of those bands motivating me on the bike (except maybe the songs Christmas Steps and East Hastings). Way too mellow.
I will, cheers for that!DickRhee said:By the way, check out Friends in the Mountains for more instrumental stuff in the vein of those three bands you mentioned. Stupid band name, but great music.

Dekker_Tifosi said:I usually listen to trance tunes. Kimito-Subrunner, Armin van Buuren-Rush Hour, ATB-Marrakech, Solarstone-Seven Cities, Majera-Velvet Sun are some of my favorite 'cycling training' tunes
schism said:Tool, Metallica, Slayer, Pantera etc etc.........they get me moving but I listen to a wide range of stuff
Merckx said:Normally I don't listen to anything when I'm on the road but I find Warp Brothers to be effective to get primed. What kind of music do you guys listen to while riding and/or to get pumped up?
