I think the one song that sums up my motorcycling experience is Supertramp playing It's Raining Again. Have I mentioned that I'm a glass half empty kind of guy...
Rush, Spirit of radio, possibly cos I’m reading books by Neil Peart at the moment, his motorcycle journeys during his concert tours were epic. Verse two captures it for me. “Off on your way hit the open road There is magic at your fingers For the spirit ever lingers Undemanding contact in your happy solitude”
How about: Of Monsters and men, first two albums. Ignore the crap tracks. The Down Town Fiction - various songs. I just want to run, Hepburn shades, Is this the end! Lovely the band - broken Green day. 21 Guns, Jesus of suburbia/city I of the damned, give me novocaine. The Swayback - just like the old days Counting Crows - Mr Jones Broken Bells - Ghost inside Bruce Springsteen- The River Richard Ashcroft - Break the night with colour James - Run aground The Sunday’s - wild horses Texas - inner smile Jimmy eat world - 23 Split endz - I got you Behind blue eyes - Limp Bizkit - when I go I want this played at full blast at the funeral. Who version (original) would be ok. Lene Marlin - the way we are Rolling Stones - paint it black Lolo - shine, the court yard, dandelion, and others. Great singer. Shawn Mendes - in my blood OneRepublic - Counting Stars Matt Nathanson - Headphones Alan Walker - Faded Eminem - love the way you lie Tom Walker - leave a light on & fly away with me Train - drops of Jupiter Linkin Park - new divide and burn it down Within Temptation - Jillian (black symphony), Sinead and other tracks. Gorillaz - feel good inc Peter, Bjorn and John - young folks Zoe Wees - control Somebody’s child - jungle. Gravelly voice joy wave - it’s a trip Arizona - oceans away I have loads more. Let me know if you would like more. not everyone’s taste. I like everything from Vivaldi to Zz top. Tom Petty - free fall’in Four star Mary - pain Another era… Skeeta Davies - end of the world The crystals - the he kissed me The exciters - tell him Chris Montez - let’s dance Little Eva - the locomotion The isley brothers - twist and shout Johnny kid and the pirates - shakin all over Del Shannon - runaway Everly brothers - all I have to dream Booker T - green onions Oh a motorcycle one… The Shangri-Las - leader of the pack The Animals. - house if the rising sun The Zombies - she’s not there The searchers - needles and pins No Christmas party was finished until you had Jeff Beck - Hi HO Silver Lining Simon & Garfunkel - everything try did ( apart from the crap ones).
Well, obviously Pink Floyd is a given. Especially wish you where here’. Not you obviously, I was referring to the music. i’d also have Genesis (after Peter Gabriel) and mostly the live albums with Chester Thompson bashing the drums with P Collins.
I go for long rides too, and have playlists to match. The title of the thread asked for a song, singular.
