I think that's what started this thread... I was remembering listening to a particular tune while riding my new 78 HD. Then I realized the music was in my head back in those days. No onboard music!
Grateful Dead!!! - all
Bob Seger - Turn the Page
John Denver - Country Road
I don't listen to music when I ride, but often get these tunes stuck in my head while I'm on the bike.
<LOL>... drifter folks are always imaginative!
Some of you are missing the great segway that has landed in front of you. This is about the Drifter motorcycle use a little imagination. Thought that you'd like the humor.
How about anything by the Drifters, Drift away by Dobie Gray or Uncle Kracker, Drifting by Enya, Drift and die by Puddle of mudd, Drift off to dream by Travis Tritt, Drifting by Sara McLachlan, Drifting by Andy McKee, Driftin' bu Earl Klugh, High Plains Drifter by the Beastie Boys.
I like a lot of stuff, any and all classic rock and newer stuff too- faves include Boston, Deep Purple, Rush,
Metallica, Kiss, Ozzy, Queensryche, ZZ Top, Van Halen, Def Leppard, Streetheart, Supertramp, Springsteen, and too many more to list.
When I am really tired, working out, or working on a tan or just need something different, I turn to a metal/rap Mash Ups or some Dead Celebrity Status, Eminem, 2 Live Crew, and some other stuff that would make my mother blush.
I am never at a loss of tunes to listen too that's for sure, don't really listen to country though, so I can't ride to close to hubby's bike - his music depresses me LOL!
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.
