    I just stick on either Chemical Brothers whole collection or Infected Mushroom
  • filthy667filthy667 Posts: 22
    Just about anything by Slayer, early Metallica, or early Nine inch nails does the trick for me.

    +1 GnR Sweet Cild o' Mine.
    Makes me ride like a demon but am usually in tears by the end!!!
  • nomadicbrynomadicbry Posts: 223
    Anything by the tresor label
    +1 for infected mushroom plus other psytrance usually does the job
    on a more rock orientated flavour Rage Aganst the Machine never fail
    Gogol Bordello
    Iggy
    Ramones ...
    The Fall can be quite good as well especially their earlier stuff

    Motown and Stax can usually be really good when not a ballad...think land of a 1000 dances by Wilson Pickett

    countless others I can't remember at the moment.. need to check my non Apple MP3 player

    mind you I usually don't listen to anything offroad mostly if I'm back on the commute...it's been a while or just having a tarmac spin on teh way to a track
    Enough bikes to open a bike shop but always room for one more...

    was going to advocate Crass' "You've got big hands" but thought i'd best have a listen first to check. yep, that's the one - i'm twitching from the adrenalin. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYyF4ouMBE4

    a grab bag of Crass, Flux Of Pink Indians, Stiff Little Fingers, F***ked Up, Sensa Yuma, Subhumans and Ghost Of A Thousand and i'm getting anywhere a good 30% faster (then collapsing) - there ain't no angry like righteously angry
