For the last few weeks I've been putting songs into a queue on Spotify and am going to publish a playlist for riding. Was wondering if anyone else has done the same thing?
I have a buell playlist (the name of it is buell time) on my iPhone. Mostly rock, some pop and a mix of random things here and there (edm, country, etc, etc). Basically the stuff I enjoy riding to and can jam out to as well in my own little world.
I use slacker radio for when I ride any long distances. In town I prefer to hear what's going on around me. I have a few custom stations like punk, ska, grunge and I have my heavier stations for when I'm really getting into it. Lots of variety on there and I can cache my stations so I'm not using up my data.
The entire Tron soundtrack (best soundtrack ever in my opinion), Gojira, more Gojira, Devin Townsend, Opeth, Amon Amarth, Karnivool, Katatonia, Born of Osiris, Marshall Tucker Band. Just to name a few. I usually save the music for <500 mile trips. I enjoy the sound of the exhaust.
I listen to progressive metal. Djent metal. Hardcore metal. Death Metal. The heavier the better.
^This, I dont like ear buds because they can plug out all other noise at times. My helmet is built where the speakers are about 3/8 of a inch from your ear but the padding basically isolates your ears from wind noise. But you can still hear vehicle noise, other cars etc.
