Anto, I always knew you were a man of taste!  ;D

I listen to hard rock from the same era (Steppenwolf, Stones, Who, etc.) and old Chicago blues (Muddy Waters, et al).

But one song that will get me up the steepest hill, or give me 10mph extra in full flight, is Jethro Tull's "Locomotive Breath". Wish it went on for 30 minutes!  :)

Love music and listen to it all day (Motown and Northern Soul are my bag) so when out for a ride I prefer to be in touch with my surroundings. I love hearing the birds dawn chorus on my commute to work, it's a sign that summer is on the way.

I don't play music on the bike; the roads are dangerous enough as it is. At home I generally play the classics; my disc library is about 6000 strong. My favourites are Bach (the greatest musician who ever lived) and Mozart (the second greatest). Currently I'm playing my way through 199 Bach Cantata in the Ton Koopman interpretation, taking an occasional break with the Liszt transscriptions of the Beethoven Symphonies played by Lesley Howard in his Complete Liszt Piano Music on Hyperion discs -- if you're into the classics, or into piano music, or a Beethoven fan, you cannot be without at least this subset of Howard's masterful tour of Liszt's nimble finger and nimbler mind.

Those of you who are audiophiles may be interested in my experiments with high end single ended tube amps at http://www.audio-talk.co.uk/fiultra/JUTE%20ON%20AMPS.htm

Stan Rogers, Stephane Grapelli, Edith Piaf, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Luke Kelly, Mozart, Vivaldi, and Ian Tyson's "Summer Wages".  That tends to be in camp, at the end of the day, over a cuppa strong black tea laced with condensed milk, the great rejuvenator. (!!??)

My brother likes to give me challenges, so he sent me one of these last year:

Took me a very long time to get much of any sound out of it at all. Now I am starting to get some scales to work. Pretty soon I will get all the way to Mary Had a Little Lamb!

But here is real heaven:
