    I have a huge workout playlist made up over the years, not necessarily stuff I would listen to but all tempo music.
    I had it on shuffle and possibly found the ultimate for ramping up.
    Try Deacon Blue - Queen of the New Year.
    It starts off fairly straightforward but if you are not in a pool of sweat by the end then you are not keeping up.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Have a listen to this track -‘It Won’t Always Be Like This’ by a newish band called Inhaler.
    Great lively track - you’ll recognise the voice somewhat- lead singer is Bono’s son!

    Self argumentative if there was ever an example. 🤣

    I was an 80's punk and so my ipod music consists mainly of 70's 80's and 90's punk with Discharge being a firm favourite while on the trainer due to the hard D-beat style of drumming on nearly all their tracks.

    I find Pop Will Eat Itself; Marilyn Manson and The Cult fit very nicely into my turbot sessions. Also lots of late 90's early 2000's Hard Trance and "Hoovers and Horns" B)


    Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

    Slipknot and The Carpenters

    +1 for Slipknot - I thoroughly enjoy the 9.0 Live album. Quite keen on Nashville Pussy as well for a slightly slower pace.

    Karen Carpenter had the most beautiful voice. Carpenter's Greatest Hits and Astrud Gilberto are perfect for chilling...

    This is one of my playlists that I frequently use. Loads of variation for the BPM/RPM!

    Listened to Slipknot last week and really enjoyed riding along to it. Other than that it's almost always a drum and bass mix. Find the fast tempo of it helps me keep the cadence up.

    I know you don't typically have music when outside or during sportives / events but having other people to ride with helps with that.

    I love to find tracks with a serious amount of energy, such as this track Sabotage by Beastie Boys: https://getsongbpm.com/song/sabotage/QB0 which si rated 94 out of 100 for energy. Sure can feel it when I'm pedalling.
