Because I'm usually riding in town, I seem to have a lot of jazz in my cerebral ipod (Dave Brubeck, Miles Davis, etc.) When I go out to the country roads, it's old country music (Johnny Cash, Waylon, Hank senior). I just have to stay away from George Jones. If I hear 'He Stopped Loving Her Today', I lose it. 
Led Zepplin........Kasmir, Rock & Roll, Since I've Been Lovin' You, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, When the Levee Breaks, etc.
Pink Floyd.....Comfortably Numb, Time, Money, etc.
ZZ Top......Cheap Sunglasses, Nationwide, Fool For You Stockings, etc.
Edgar Winter Group......Frankenstien, Free Ride, etc.
Foghat......Slow Ride
Golden Earring........Radar Love
Aerosmith......Sweet Emotion, Long Train Runnin', Walk This Way
CCR........Fortunate Son
Don Felder.......Heavy Metal
Anything SRV!
Thats for the older stuff.......
I also dig some Mercy Me, Lincoln Brewster, Story Side B, things like that.
Ok so maybe I'm just a "youngin" but I'm down with the harder stuff..."in his moment", "flyleaf", and the like.
Today..: outlaws -one last ride, green grass and high tides etc
Centerfold, My best friend girl......plus others by Hayseed Dixie.........or.........alittle CW McCall.......... The background singers are the hardkrome headers rumbling to the beat of the music.

2000 songs on my itouch... some are good, some not so good for riding... but there is a variety!
The list is indeed long. I have a really hard time naming the best/favorite - since my mood dictates what I want to hear at any particular time.
I like celtic jigs and the like when running through the mountains and twisties... hardcore stuff when running full throttle... mellow stuff on the easy rolling roadways... etc.
That's the good thing about nowadays... back in the old days you would get some riff/ditty in your head and sometimes it was hard as hell to get rid of it... or you simply couldn't remember more than a few bars!
Now you can either listen in real time, or turn it off and play in your own head. Best of both worlds IMHO.
must be ac/dc, any blues brothers soundtrack, motorhead, motley crue, zz top.
on the quiet side, janis joplin, eagles, steve ray vaughan, jetro.....
damn....the list is too long!!!!
Hendrix/Joplin can't beat em,........... but don't want to join the either!
Spent many years riding and listening to tunes in my head and the sound of the exhaust. After a few hours of the droning, I am TOO relaxed. The change over to REAL tunes is very helpful to keep me alert.
And, nowadays, I don't always want to stay inside my own head. The combo of good music and the bike is a near perfect escape, especially when my sweetheart is sitting behind me. But, as has been mentioned, sometimes all you need is the rumble. I guess that's why they make on/off switches!
Now there is a problem with all of this... my wife likes country/western... Toby Keith, etc. I'm more Jethro Tull, Hendrix, Stevie Ray, type. So we have a mix that includes both when we ride together. For sure that will keep you awake and alert. <G>
