Sorry if this is in the wrong place or has been discussed before but I searched and didn’t see anything recent...

MUSIC!!

I know most of us of a certain age tend to gravitate to certain genres of music, and most of it dates back 30 years or more. Usually more. Often a LOT more. I’ve seen threads that discussed our favorite classic artists - Led Zep, The Dead, Metallica, Allman Brothers, Waylon, Willie (and the boys), Nugent, and, well, hundreds of awesome classic bands.

But who has suggestions for good NEW music? Reason I’m asking is I recently picked up some Greta Van Fleet and damned if some of those tunes don’t get me cracking the throttle open just a bit more, get the toes tapping and the head bopping. And these kids are all in their teens, maybe early 20s. Anyone else have any new groups or songs they like riding to?

 

I enjoy listening to some country music when I ride.
Jason Aldean, Tim McGraw, or the 2000's country channel on Pandora.

 

Gary Clark Jr.
Joe Bonamassa
Walter Trout
Florida Georgia Line
Ed Sheeran

 

Riding music tends to be a bit harder to find good songs, needs the right tempo as well as working well over the sound of riding.

Lot of different stuff to check, lot of different styles so if one isn't your taste try the next one, figured I'd give a wide selection.
90s or later, some really good stuff before that of course but it's not what you're looking for.

And yep, long list I know, I did narrow it down from 2,000 though. lol

Sorry that I can't help much on the new music. But my son just told me about Greta van Fleet. Listened to some of their stuff on youtube. Dang those kids can play. All they need is little stronger drummer to round out their pure rock sound.

 

 

i can't get enough of Greta Van Fleet right now. those kids are proof that rock and roll isn't dead.

otherwise, i like some ween, queens of the stone age and eagles of death metal.

most newer stuff lately is just radio music, meaning, i only listen to them when they are played on the radio. still good stuff, but not buying it. (arcade fire, arctic monkeys, the killers...)

 

I love music but not when I'm riding. I get into music and because of that, it's too distracting. We have Sena 10 headsets and she once got her phone to play music over them. That was the last time.

 

Interesting thread with some interesting leads. Personally I cannot stand country or stale, dead-old-man rock so there's hope here.
