tunes to pedal by...

Ok, so lots of times its just not appropriate or safe to pedal to tunes. But on those perfect paths with the ipod down low what tunes do you choose to keep you company and which do you prefer when you want to get geared up for a power ride?

The Subdudes would certainly be high up on my list.

I like to listen Chopin on my unicycle.

the used, eminem, dr dre, cassidy,relient k, all american rejects, blink 182, bonecrusher, my chemical romance

lamb of god, korn, system, static x, a perfect circle, incubus… sall good… i basically dont uni without tunes

Chase

System of a down, modest mouse, the hives

fast stuff, with a srtong beat for distance/exercise/transport, but nothing screamy.

ex.
7 Seconds
Circle Jerks
cro-mags
Oxymoron
Oi Polloi

When I’m crusing, mostly reggae and dub
ex.
Augustus Pablo
King Tubby
Matisyahu
Marley
The Mad Conductor

two of my favorites.

old catch 22, old children of bodom , lamb of god the old stuff again, old ima robot and bad religon i almost forgot adom and his package and thats mostly it

michael bolton. for my money, it doesn’t get any better than when he sings “when a man loves a woman”.

Go Office Space!!! Hahaha

I like to listen to stuff that’s been used in the unicycling movies, like Paging Mr Bronson by 800 Octane, Rhythm by AWOL One, Fade Away by Zeromind. If you’ve watched the movies as much as I have, then you can visualise the riding to the music, and its quite inspiring

I tend to listen to queen, the shins, dave matthews band, and some assorted stuff with a moderate beat and fairly mild sound. Can you tell I’m a freestyle rider? :slight_smile:

Coincidentally, I was just thinking about the movie Impromptu this morning before I read this. Good choice of music.

Sounds nice, Tom. I’ll have to check them out sometime.

haha what a good movie

edit:

you beat me to it

I listen to whatever…always somethin though. often my pump up playlist, if I’m doing a high speed distance ride, or if not, Weezer or Nirvana or…just, anything. one time on my 21 mile ride (longest one yet) I listened to Harry Potter on CD. it was awesome (:

Just a random aside, I don’t listen to music while i’m riding street or trials, because I hate having cords that bounce around and things in my pockets (other than my cellphone). If i’m riding distance, then I love to listen to music. Generally, it’s loud music from uni movies in the car :wink:

Oh, and Mind’s Eye by Wolfmother is a fantastic song…check it out

Sublime, Planet Smashers, Blink182, Reel Big Fish, Green Day, Samiam… Just about anything fast paced… Heats the blood, makes you want to ride :slight_smile: Only when I muni though, not when I’m riding anywhere on the road… Too dangerous around here :frowning:

REEL BIG FIIIIISH!!
BLINK 182!!

I love 'em both.

oh, and Green Day, and Sublime, they’re awesome too.

No one has mentioned Rob E. Randall and da Duckcall hypemasta :astonished:

Willie Nelson, Harry Chapin, Jim Croce, or Bob Seeger are usually playing when I ride.
