i usually listen to black label society, kyuss (old stoner band and then came queens of the stone age) and a bit of Creedence Clearwater Revival.
so maybe something a bit more chilld out but not dance/trance stuff.
wantd to know any thoughts opinions.

    No music while driving; no chilling; much concentrating on the road and other vehicles.


    OR


    Z Z Top in my case.

    Before a big ride I would suggest the following:

    * Foo fighters.
    * Prodigy.
    * Rage against the machine.

    If it's got a good guitar track, I'll listen to it.

    Hendrix, Cream, Free, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Guns n' Roses, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple...

    Guitars are the key to riding well.

    OK you are going to think me totaly weird, but

    On the way to last year's Etape Caledonia (I had to get up at 4:30am to make my 7am start), I listened to Renaissance choral music, which is utterly mesmerising.

    Why? Well one of the pieces on the CD was the tune that ran round and round my head the previous year when I was riding up the Ventoux.

    I was completely focussed when I got the start line, calm and up for it. However, I scored a disappointing time compared to the year before. Maybe I was too chilled out.

    ZZ Top seems a good thing to try this year!

    Tiesto - Adagio For Strings
    Gets me all psyched up and raring to go!

    But all Dance, Hard Trance and House music does the trick.

    Love a bit of dance/trance either during or immediately before a ride.

    Some Armin van Buuren, Rank1, Push or the like for some high-cadence efforts. :wink:
