I'm right there with you on XM and have it on my bike (listen to "classic vinyl" & "Highway country" a lot), but because of the tiny antenna, it cuts out every now and then. On our AZ/Utah trip, there were several instances I got no signal at all. Esp in canyons and mountains. So, an iPod was great to have. Of course, because my iPod classic doesn't have flash memory (the nano, shuffle and touch do), it froze up a couple of times due to the vibration I guess, so I was w/o tunes when the XM was on the fritz.

I have virtually every song listed so far on my player already.

Here are 2 that I am surprised haven't been mentioned yet.

Already Gone by the Eagles
I've Been Everywhere by Johnny Cash

maybe that's why I'm getting those funny looks when I play my Mozart 8 track.

On the lighter side, Reckless Kelly, Ryan Bingham, Jason Boland and the Stragglers.

Great thread Monstead.

great thread; what else to do early in the AM than update music list on MP3 and get a couple barley pops down your neck. Some good choices on here; the mention of Montrose just made me go back and find some old Mountain and Traffic. Ya'll added some choices I haven't thought about in years....thanks much!

I agree with you. I also know that the music is distracting for me. I am a new rider, July 09, and since I want to stay focused on what I am doing, I am not going to add tunes just yet. I tend to get my grove thing on in my jeep with the tunes up loud, don't want to do that on my bike.
I do love all the music suggestions though and may add them to my ipod for my jogging tunes.

How do you listen to music while you ride? Oh yeah, iPods and Geezer Glides.

I seriously have never ridden a bike with a stereo decent enough that the music sounded good at speed.

I got some nice ear buds for my iPod but haven't tried them yet.

This is what I would listen to, well this or Neil Diamond.

Anyone tried the Sirius Stiletto? I'd like to hear how they work on a bike.

What a fun thread, and what a great list of tunes; thanks. As for me, sometimes I find that a good non-vocals jammin' instrumental really makes for great riding tune. For example, here is a tune from master guitarist Joe Satriani.
