I'm also partial to the Foo Fighters. But it's all in my head, no earphones for me.

I listen to music when on the trainer (or in gym).

I like rock and other fast stuff.

Use Matrix soundtrack(s), Joan Jett, Sass Jordan, Bond (rocked out classical), a little George Thorogood (sp), some of the soundtracks from the show Alias get the cadence up. A bunch of other stuff...

I don't listen to music when I ride outside. I would rather hear things in my surroundings and stay "unplugged".

I sometimes pop in one ear bud when I'm riding distance. While I love the sounds of nature, I sometimes what a bit of music - but I don't listen loud and can hear traffic, other cyclists, etc, just fine.

Lately my artist of choice had been Jackie Greene - he's an up and coming blues/jazz/rock/whatever musician. I just love his voice.

I do have a rather eclectic taste in music, though, so it's not unusual for my play list to include to also include, Diana Krall, Billy Joel, Queen, Frank Sinatra, sound tracks from Broadway, and Jimmy Buffett to name a few.

I never heard of Jackie Greene. I just played one of his songs on youtube. He is pretty good. I have not listened to the radio in quite some time...not including NPR. Maybe I should start listening again.

Glad you like him. I'm seeing him in concert this Thursday - he's not quite made it to the radio, but I think he will soon. It's a tough market to break into. Glad to be spreading the word.

Me too.
i like to hear hybrid cars or dogs sneaking up behind me, but I also like to hear the crickets and birds and the sound of children playing too...that's my 'music'. My favorite music of all is riding past a dry rustling corn field or a babbling brook or frogs twanging in a swampy pond. Such a delight!

I agree!! I love the sound of Fall. That is one thing I miss about living in upstate NY vs CO is all the leaves in the Fall. It captured all my senses..except for taste of course.

I admit that I am almost always listening to tunes when I commute or train on the road. It somehow adds to my fun. But as for music, it's the most eclectic mix ever. I have everything in my player from classical, opera, early (renaissance) music, all kinds of rock and metal, and even death metal (Slipknot, Sepultura). Everything in between like 70s pop (Neil Diamond, Anne Murray), reggae, folk (Peter, Paul & Mary, Joan Baez, Judy Collins) current metal, modern pop (Celine Dion : 0). You name it, it all adds to the fun!
