Best Ride Tunes

[Fred W]

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?

Toe, don't try to kid us.

We all know that is exactly the kind of music you fellas listen to in those leather bars you hang out in...

Hands down:

"Let It Roll" - Little Feat

 

[Old Michael]

Pearl Jam w/ Neil Young - Cortez the Killer

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

Flight of the Bumble Bee

 

[Murph]

Bush - Breathe In Breathe OutBush - Machine Head

Aren't these the same song?

 

[MrTwisty]

Bush - Breathe In Breathe OutBush - Machine Head

Aren't these the same song?

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!
