Racing music

[BonzaiJoe]

Maybe we've had this thread before, but what music do you listen to while racing, if any? I have a strange habit of always listening to upbeat electronic music while racing... synth-pop, laserdance, powerpop etc.
It makes me race and replay-handle faster! I have a special playlist called "racing", it goes like this (shuffled):

[Krys TOFF]

No way : modern punk-rock/alternative-rock is the best when racing Stunts.
Examples : Offspring, Green Day, Therapy?, Sum41, Good Charlotte, Pixies, L7, Franz Ferdinand, Throwing Muses, Breeders, Slags, Smashing Pumpkins, Superbus, ...

Leo, of course, would add "classic" punk-rock bands like the Ramones, the Stone Temple Pilots and the Clash to this list.

One alternative is some nu-metal or rap-metal songs (the fastest ones, like "Cop killer" by Body Count), or the fastest songs of the famous industrial-metal of Rammstein.

Else, "rock steady beat" ska is also good : Madness' songs like "One step beyond", "Baggy trousers" or so. Not slow Madness songs of course.
Ska-P is an option too. I suppose South-American members know this band better than European ones, but in France Ska-P had a good success (according to their music style, of course).

[Argammon]

Nothing at all. Sometimes I even drive without any sound at all. I guess I am a visualist... 

[CTG]

I'm listening to music only under NFS Porsche, Stunts needs more concentration.

[Duplode]

No soundtrack while driving as well... when listening music, I like to focus on my ears as much as possible.

[Mark L. Rivers]

No soundtrack while driving as well... when listening music, I like to focus on my ears as much as possible.

It's the same for me. And then, a pushed engine is already an adrenalinic "music" for driver's ears... 

[Chulk]

No music for RH racing. Classical for NoRH racing, usually the slow ones. Somehow it helps me ease my nerves. And "The flight of the bumblebee", by Rimsky-Korsakov, to watch every amazing replay. It's like car is flying as well.

[Krys TOFF]

"The flight of the bumblebee", by Rimsky-Korsakov

I prefer Joey deMayo's (Manowar bassist) version.

[CTG]

Classical music is for old men and young gays. Which one are you Pinky Chulky?

[Chulk]

3rd option for me. An open-minded person.

[CTG]

Sorry, I was just kidding.

[Chulk]

Don't worry. I know you where kidding. Sometimes I listen to Metallica's "Fuel" from S & M album too when watching a replay or when needing that extra motivation for a single trick. Othewise it's no music, as said before.

[lised]

Fantastic list Jacob, BUT I can't believe Erasure's Knocking on your Door is not on it? How can this be?

[BonzaiJoe]

I don't think I had Crackers International yet when I made the original version of the list, and I forgot to add it when I revised it. I'll see to it next time, it is a kind of frantic energizing song.

[Argammon]

Now, if I would listen to music while racing, would that improve my lap times?
