After all the metal I listen to, I like no noise other than the wind and pipes when I ride (for now). Even though I'm a metalhead I have to say there are some great selections you guys have listed so far though. I do have a wide variety, but metal's my bread and butter.
I have to agree with you too, Slipknot, Hatebreed, Hellyeah, Mudvayne, Rammstein, etc blast from my Streetglide and I will be 50 next month. Most of the music listed previously I listened to 30 or more years ago and I am tired of that stuff now, I am always looking for new bands to check out and usually find them on Octane on my XM radio or in videos on youtube.

One of the sound men that my old band had always played the Coverdale Page song "Shake My Tree". Lot's of dynamics and frequencies running through that song. I only recommend this because this sound guy seemed to be the best at dialing in our band properly. Lots of shi#y sound guys out there but this one knew what he was doing.

Billy Ocean - Caribbean Queen (New Extended Mix) works like a champ for testing all components.

This bass will absolutely pound your subs for a low end test.

Just go with what you usually listen to. Like others have said unless you spend some serious coin on the audio system on your bike your sound aint gonna be all that great anyhow. Kinda like when people complain about the lack of bass coming from their 3" handlebar speakers.
I'll throw in some Ted Nugent - Stranglehold, ACDC - Thunderstruck

Downloaded the "Money for Nothing" track from ITUNES. Not impressed with the quality of the track.

It's weird,..............some songs from ITUNES are amazing quality, and some are un-listenable. At .99 for music & $ 1.99 for music videos,..................you'd think the quality would be top notch.

Anyhow,...............took my bike out to Red Rock Canyon, figuring on nobody being there. Took my CHEAP digital camera & shot a video of my system. Don't know if the quality of the video is any good,.............as my home computer has some $5 cracker boxes for speakers, ........so I can't hear any quality.

In the middle of the song, some dude came over an told my wife to turn it down, as he was taking 'still photos'. ( ??? )

So,.............here's half a video of "Money for Nothing" , taken with a CHEAP digital camera.

In the next week or so,...........I'm gonna find a secluded spot and record some stuff that has WAY better quality, track wise. ENJOY

Ouch.. That track has always been a favorite of mine, my source for it is a reference edition that I ripped in the lossless audio format.. Sorry you weren't impressed with my suggestion...

You misunderstood my point...........I like the 'suggestion' (track), just unimpressed with the quality I got from ITUNES.

This isn't the first, ( or last ), that ITUNES will disappoint me, I'm sure !
