Training Tunes

In case anybody out there is actually riding these days...

I've got a gigabyte to fill up on my MP3 player (Rio "Forge"😉 so I'm
wondering what tunes I should look at buying off the MP3 sites that are
suitable for listening to during long, boring miles in the "cold" here in
NorCal.

Among my favorites already installed are Joe Satriani's "Surfing with the
Alien", something from Culture Club(go ahead and laugh!) that is pretty good
at 90rpm's, and "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood..

Joy Division - Love will tear us apart
Kiss - I Was Made for Lovin' You
Los Lobos - La Bamba
Madness - One Step Beyond
Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
Patrick Hernandez - Born To Be Alive
Righeira - Vamos a la playa
Robert Palmer - Addicted To Love
Roxy Music - Let's Stick Together
Simple Minds - Don't You (Forget About Me)
Steppenwolf - Born to be wild
Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger
The Beatles - Twist and Shout
The Doors - Break On Through
The Romantics - What I Like About You
Transvision Vamp - I Want Your Love
Van Halen - Jump
ZZ Top - Gimme All Your Lovin'

Asswipe,

I cannot possible think of a thread gayer than what music you should listen
to when working out.

But these days, if you aren't listening to Wu Tang Clan to commemorate the
passing of the musical genius that was ODB, then what kinda nee'r are you?

How about, the same but someone replied admitting to making a mix tape
with the Bee Gees, Los Lobos, Michael Jackson, Righeira and The Beatles.

I take it that you guys don't miss "Headbanger's Ball" much. Nothing like
mixing up speed metal with Mercyful Fate, Metallica, Danzig, old Sabbath and
Deep Purple.
VH1 has got a show running now "40 Least Metal Moments." Worth watching just
to check out the headbanging Pat Boone.
Funny [censored].

"Bike" written by Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd before he took way too much LSD
in 1968.
I have it at
http://www.kenpapai.com/cycling/11Bike.wma
(a 3MB WMA file)
A lyric:

"I've got a bike you can ride it if you like, it makes me feel good!"

Also,
"RUNNING Up That Hill" by Kate Bush. SUPERB stuff.

War Pigs -- Black Sabbath

Generals gathered in their masses,
just like witches at black masses.
Evil minds that plot destruction,
sorcerers of death's construction.
In the fields the bodies burning,
as the war machine keeps turning.
Death and hatred to mankind,
poisoning their brainwashed minds.
Oh lord, yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away.
They only started the war.
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor, yeah.

Time will tell on their power minds,
making war just for fun.
Treating people just like pawns in chess,
wait till their judgement day comes, yeah.

Now in darkness world stops turning,
ashes where the bodies burning.
No more War Pigs have the power,
Hand of God has struck the hour.
Day of judgement, God is calling,
on their knees the war pigs crawling.
Begging mercies for their sins,
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings.
Oh lord, yeah!

Shake Ya Tailfeather (I don't know why I like this one- maybe cuz it was
always playing in the gym when I was lifting)

There are a few more that I've downloaded but not put on the pod yet. Can't
remember what they are right now.

Working on adding some more energetic or angry or powerful stuff...

Maybe the Hives (energetic), or (much more extreme) Zeke (angry)?

For some reason, the song "Master of the Universe" by Hawkwind runs in
my head a lot when I ride (I don't ride with the iPod).

Or what about The Killers?? Man, I can't stop listening to that one - it's great for intervals... not that i am doing any of that with a broken arm and all.
Edwoud might be interested in it if he likes 80's stuff. They're making the album that The Cure should be making in 2004, only the Cure is making total [censored].
I also like No Doubt for riding - is that gay?

I really like riding with my iPod because otherwise I tend to get some song that I don't know but one line of lyrics stuck in my head, so I keep repeating that line over and over for hours. I, of course, only ride with the iPod when training alone - people who wear headphones on group rides are gay - unless they're Ronnie Hinson, then they are cool.
