I'm looking for a new mix for the bike rides. For longer rides, I mix my tempos up and down. At this pace, I can't take much more than an hour. Any suggestions are much appreciated, and I would really like to some hear some newer bands. Mostly I listen to older uptempo rock that is charged with......; well, here are a couple of examples that always get my pedals churning.
Are you talking like road biking (like Lance Armstrong style)? If so: I used to be really into running and cycling and I had a playlist that I'd just run on repeat. Love or hate some of these songs, I know a lot of them are corny but the pacing worked for me. Hopefully it'll be able to give you at least a song or two. The Verve - Sonnet The Verve- Bitter Sweet Symphony Yellowcard - Way Away Elvis - A little less conversation Tom Petty - running down a dream Kenny Chesney - i'm alive Love and Theft - runaway Dixie Chicks - several of them (fuck you) John Michael Montgomery - life's a dance 50 cent, eminem, etc - You don't know Ram Jam - Black betty R Kelly (fuck you) - the world's greatest Aerosmith - dream on
In no order: I Won't Back Down- Tom Petty Same Ol' Situation- Motely Crue Sparkles- Tiesto 6 Underground- Sneaker Pimps Hey Boy Hey Girl- Chemical Brothers Saturday- Mudmen One More Astronaut- I Mother Earth Lonliness- Tomcraft Alive- Pearl Jam Meaning of Life (Get Psycho)- Disturbed End of the Line- Travelling Wilburies Cobra Style- Teddybears I don't Want to Change the World- Ozzy Osbourne Under- Filter Rocks- Primal Scream
Yea, Sam. For longer rides, I switch up the tempos. Got some Chesney and other country on those. On the shorter ones (35 miles or less) I like to go harder, and the music helps. I see this was made into a new thread. Maybe it should be called The Best (or most kick-ass) Metal Songs Ever Thread. I'm really looking for uptempo here. Not to knock Maiden or Priest, just faster but still comprehensible. White Zombie - More Human Than Human http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFqBTSvBPAU AC/DC - Thunderstruck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvoeeq-BH4w Metallica- Ride the Lightning http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uebInqG1pJI That old industrial club music is great for riding fast too. I posted some on another thread. Maybe another thread for these. Front 242 - Headhunter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPpUFBVSyWs MCL - New York http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMzySVTFBrs&feature=related Nitzer Ebb - Join in the Chant http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0HsjYtdAKM Bigod 20 - Body to Body http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rk7-25YRN9s Thrill Kill Cult - First Cut http://music.myspace.com/index.cfm?...albums&artistid=5967013&ap=0&albumid=14037453
...............and going way back. As the comments suggest, this version is sped up; which works well for this.
