Hey all,
I was just thinking that i find it hard to ride solo these days without the ole' ipod blazing in my ears. I was curious to see what everyone else listens to while riding. I'm a bit of a metalhead and have been really into soilwork, bullet for my valentine, shadows fall, unearth, in flames, as i lay dying, etc. On the odd sunny day burning through farmland i have been known to throw on some hank jr., *****, dierks bentley, brad paisley, and of course the required johnny cash.

What's everyone else listening to?

 

Anything recorded with actual musical skills and more than 3:20 playing time. Knopfler , yes, Van Halen, no. Telleman, yes, Bizet, no. Pink Floyd, yes, Deep Purple, no. Vivaldi, yes, Cohan, no. And if you want a new perspective on metal, try the "Electric Ladyland" album by Jimi Hendrix. He went further forty years ago than most will ever get today.

 

oh no i def hear you on hendrix. i was brought up on classic rock (even though i'm younger). Stevie ray vaughan is perhaps my favorite artists. i'm pretty eclectic in my taste...whether it be orchestral (chopin, Mozart, etc) or good jazz (oscar peterson, bennie goodman). any given day i'll be listening to a different genre but for some reason the modern metalcore stuff is what i find myself listening to while riding more often than not

 

Yeah, and I eat caviar and drink wine while I listen to classycal muzak whilst riding my Stupor Hawk. Actually, I mostly listen to mp3s of Alex Jones' radio show.
