Best Ride Tunes

OK,

Time to weigh in. (figuratively)

Here's the rules: You have to pick your top 10 (it's tough). What's the best music to have pumpin' through your helmet speakers while your negotiating primo roads.

I'm an old fart, so my choices will probably be tame by comparison to most, but I have to seed the question, right?

So, let's see. Here's my semi-eclectic mix that I'll choose (in alphabetical order):

The Allman Brothers Band - Mountain Jam

The Chantays - Pipeline (I'm hooked on surf music)

Counting Crows - Mr Jones

The Cure - Pictures of You

The Hollies - The Air that I Breathe

George Throughgood and the Destroyers - Bad to the Bone

Pearl Jam w/ Neil Young - Cortez the Killer

The Wallflowers - Heroes

REM - Oddfellows Local 151

U2 - Elevation

ZZ Top - La Grange

This was a lot harder to do that I initially envisioned. I had to pare down a list of about 40+ must have songs. It was an intersting exercise (for me)

So what do you like?

I love that. The original (Young/Crazy Horse I think) is good stuff too.

Yep, you're right, they are. I have them listed as two different songs, but that's good because it means that I get to listen to it twice as much. Great song, but it makes me go faster when it comes on.

No ride is complete without these two:

1. Riders on the storm [Doors]

2. I can't drive 55!

Metallica - Orion

Motorhead - Just 'cos you got the power...LIVE

Primus - Wynona's Big Brown Beaver

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Readymade

Tool - Stinkfist

Outcast - Roses

Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes - The Lemon Song

Extreme - Cupid's Dead

Black Stone Cherry - Rain Wizard

Allman Brothers - Stormy Monday - Live @ the Fillmore

There you have it. If there is something on this list you are not familiar with, you would do yourself a favor to get it quickly.

Bob Seger and anything Metallica, except St. Anger!

Rush - Vapor Trails - the whole album

Whatever hits me at the minute.

I got satellite.

CCR is better than mushrooms

Learning to Fly-Pink Floyd

Back in Black-AC/DC

Another Brick in the Wall-Pink Floyd

One Headlight-Wallflowers

There's more, but I'll have to give it some thought.
