    Smile need music recommendations

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    I need music recommendations from you'uns. Mr. Sundial is burned out on his music for his workouts. He likes classic rock and southern rock and on his iPod he has U2, Van Halen, AC/DC, ZZ Top, some Led Zeppelin.

    Don't know that much about the new bands and if any of you have recommendations, please post away.

    Mika: Life in Cartoon Motion. My daughter has that CD and it's delightful! Quirky, upbeat, melodic, guaranteed to make you smile.

    Roscoe Holcomb--a banjo player??

    OneRepublic has a nice mellow sound, but maybe too mellow for cycling. We have John Mayer and he has a nice sound.

    Knot, your video--LOL! It made me want to get up and dance. Very good beat and makes your foot tap.

    Foo Fighters--a little too much intensity. Great music to get going in the morning though, especially on a rainy day.

    Mika does put a smile on my face.....but it's still not what we're looking for.

    Looking for something that makes you want to bang your head, but not in the sense of heavy metal if you get my drift.

    I think of him more as an amazing singer. He's...how should I say...an acquired taste.

    Maybe your subconscience wants to run away from it.
