Music That Makes You Go!

I have a playlist or two of favorite songs that I listen to when I ride, but I'd like to add more songs to it to switch it up a bit or even lengthen it up a bit now that the days are longer equalling more saddle time. So, I thought I'd ask what songs are on your playlists that help you do that. A Youtube link to the actual song, or simply the artist and song name would be great. If it is a remix or particular version then please include that as well.

Happy riding!

In thought; expanding the paradigm of traversity
Apparently if you are going for koms think of very upbeat music that you would hear in a gym.

Personally I prefer softer music to keep my adrenalin levels down.

Oddly enough it has been proven if you are a downhill mountain biker going through technicals that if you listen to music and forget the difficulty you fare better.

This is yet another treat those not riding with the Cruzbike racing team miss out on. The team Minister of Culture and Music supplies them with a wide array of music during the race at the absolute perfect times using the Rhythm Bot over Discord. The group response is nothing but spectacular. They love my musik! Just a small sample:

 
I’m mostly listening to podcasts or audio books. Right now I’m playing “Fifty Shades of the USA” (narrated by the author). A British gal’s adventure of riding in each state. Today as I struggled to complete my century ride, she’s talking about riding many over-100-mile days with a fully loaded touring bike. I just had to suck it up and power on.

Endless options. But it must be cool cool cool critically acclaimed cool not schlock factory sausage Muzak
