I promise you I don't like Whitney Houston. Really. Really. I don't.
But for atmosphere at a triathlon, you can't beat Give Me One Moment
In Time. It was written (I think) for the Olympics a few years ago and
Whitney almosts yodels her way through it, very effectively.

life and only had access to 10 CD's(Desert Island Discs), this weeks list that
has come to me quickly( next weeks might be different) would be, in no
particular order of preference:
1. Nusrat Fateh Ali Kahn & Michael Brook - Musst Musst
2. Cocteau Twins - Treasure
3. Pat Metheny - As falls Wichita So Falls Wichita Falls
4. Brian Eno & David Byrne - My Life in the Bush of Ghosts
5. Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
6. Simple Minds - New Gold Dream(81-82-83-84)
7. Genesis - The Lamb lies Down on Broadway
8. Hilliard Ensemble & Jan Garbarek - Officium
9. Afro-Celt Sound System - Volume I, Sound Magic
10. China Crisis - Working With Fire and Steel: Possible Pop Songs Part II

I am sure the above listed 10 CD/LP's as I believe some( China Crisis) are only
availabale on vinyl would keep me going on the old windtrainer without audio
burn-out for some time.

Nick, this ain't NEVER gonna work. From past threads on this topic, it
has become clear that the majority of trigeeks are hopelessly stuck in a
time warp (pick a decade, any decade!) and cannot agree upon what
constitutes "good" race venue music. On the other hand, it's probably
safe to say that most would say that Barry Manilow should not make the
list.
Having said all that, for what it's worth, here's what I'd like to be hearing:
Blues Traveller: Runaround
Spin Doctors: Two Princes
Cake: The Distance
U2: I Will Follow (what we BOPpers do all day...)
Bauhaus: Kick in the Eye (perfect for the swim, eh?)
The Cure: In Between Days, Love Cats, Close to Me
Depeche Mode: Everything Counts, A Question of Time, Work Hard
Dramarama: Anything, Anything
Echo & the
Bunnymen: Never Stop! (perfect)
Chameleons UK: Swamp Thing
INXS: I Send a Message
Icicle Works: Whisper to a Scream
Kraftwerk: Tour de France
Missing Persons: Give
Indigo Girls: Closer to Fine
Psychedelic Furs: Love My Way, The Ghost in You, Heaven
The Smiths: The Queen is Dead, This Charming Man, How Soon is Now?
Smashing Pumpkins:Zero, Today
Soft Cell: It's a Mug's Game
Dominatrix: The Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight
Sisters of Mercy: This Corrosion, Lucretia--My Reflection
Tears for Fears: Head Over Heels
10,000 Maniacs: These Are Days
The Replacements: I Will Dare
Tones on Tail: GO!!
XTC: Senses Working Overtime
Nine Inch Nails: Down In It
The Clash: Rock the Casbah, Should I Stay or Should I Go?
Simple Minds: New Gold Dream, Don't You Forget About Me
Siouxsie &
the Banshees: Dazzle, Dear Prudence
The Verve: Bittersweet Symphony
Harvey Danger: Flagpole Sittah
Nitzer Eb: Fun 2 B Had
Prince: When Doves Cry, I Would Die 4 U, Controversy
Ministry: Work For Love
Malcolm McLaren: Madame Butterfly
CCCP: American Soviets
New Order: The Perfect Kiss, Blue Monday
Propellerheads: History Repeating
Collective Soul: Gel
Motorcycle Boy: Here She Comes
Kitchens of
Distinction: Drive
OK, OK, I'll stop now! Sorry. Gee, it's not obvious which decade *I'M*
mostly warped in, is it?

Personally, it depends on what time of the day it is and whether it is
pre or post race. These notes are from my personal racing preferences
and from those I find as a commentator myself.
For those early morning starts I can only cope with that "surreal" kind
of music that the 'Three Chimneys' (Sri Chinmoy) team are famous for.
Something soft and gentle to get me on my way. Preferably instrumental
only.
For the later morning/afternoon/evening starts I am already well awake
and so like some upbeat stuff. I find if I can get a song into my head
that has a good tempo then it sticks with me for the event and I race
well. Slow tune - slow race!
For example:
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
Midnight Oil - almost anything
After the race I find that a broad range of music goes down best. As you
are almost always chatting with fellow athletes you do not seem to
notice individual songs as much, but rather just get 'the vibe' as it
were. A real party kind of atmosphere.
Hope this helps. I look forward to seeing the list.
Happy New Year

songs/tunes for his music list. I will give this another go then:
1. Nusrat Fateh Ali Kahn & Michael Brooke - "Musst Musst" from Musst Musst
2. Japan - "Gentlemen Take Polaroids", Live version
3. Tone Loc - "Cutting Rythmns", from Loc-ed After Dark

Dream Academy - "Love"(extended mix) from EP of the same name.
Porno For Pyros - "Pets", from self titled first album
Peter Gabriel - "Zaar" from Passion sound track to the Life of Jesus Christ
Again like my list of albums this is this weeks list of songs/tunes that just
popped into my head. Of course I could start to look through my 400 LP's( yep,
good old vinyl) and 200CD's and come up with the list of lists, but that could
take all day. And this is also just pop, we have not got into jazz, classical or
choral, then I might be at this for weeks.

don't know the band, you're not alone. :-)
1) Old School Metallica...from "Kill 'em All" to "And Justice For All" Great
cycling music for the indoor trainer. I especially love the old "Garage Day's
Re-revisited" album. The newer Mettalica songs just don't have the pizzazz
anymore.
2) Megadeth...all albums. A must for indoor activity. These guys still got it!
3) White Zombie/Rob Zombie. Boy, these songs pack a punch! The heavy beats on
these songs is enough to motivate even the most boring person.
4) Old School Motley Crue, Twisted Sister, Van Halen w/ David Lee Roth, and
other old 80's metal music. They still have an aura about them.
5) Korn. For days when I'm just plain tired to work out. This acts like a cup
of very strong coffee in the morning. Definitely an eye opener.
6) Last but not least (don't be surprised!), Ramstein. These Germans have a
great beat to motivate me during training.
That names a good number of what I hear daily. I wonder if taking these albums
to New Zealand or Canada next year would turn both countries upside down? :-)

Great band Andrew. I have 3 of their albums. Two I listen to a lot, "Cowboys
from Hell" and "Vulgar Display of Power". For those who are not privy to this
kind of music, I urge you not to listen to the song "Primal Concrete Sledge",
as this song can make you put your head through the wall. ;-)

Anything by John Tesh from his CBS Tour/Ironman days
Alice Coopers "Long way to go " is a must for Ironman races
David Bowies "Tonight" is a favorite on the morning of an Ironman race.

Golden Earring - Radar Love (Not my favorite song in the world, but great
running music)
Brian Sullivan
bpsul...@aol.com
Matt ebac
Hey all,
Amongst all the triathlon tunes, two songs used in training for the 1500 meter
free at the Olympics have emerged. Ironpete picked some old school Metallica as
his favorite. In fact, Carlton Bruner would listen to Motorbreath in his head
while racing the 1500 (in preparation for the 1996 Olympics). One listen gives
a good idea of how intense his swims must be-"ALL OUT OR NOTHING! FULL SPEED OR
NOTHING!" It's actually kind of intimidating.
And Brian Sullivan picked Radar Love by Golden Earring for his running song,
but way back in 1976 Brian Goodell had that playing in his head while he was
training towards his Gold medal swim in the 1500-"no more speed, I'm almost
there. Gotta be cool now, gotta take care. Last car (swimmer) to pass, hear I
go!" When it came to passing swimmers, Brian couldn't be beat. The last 800 of
his 1500 would have been fast enough for a world record! He practically
invented negative splitting.
Myself? Regretablly, whatever is on the radio while I'm driving towards the
race. On the last race of the summer, I lucked out and got "The Beach" by New
Order. It made for a great pace and a great race! But during a five mile swim
some years ago, I got the Coca Cola theme song stuck in my head for the entire
2 hours and 10 minutes. It was worse that any pain I was feeling (and I was
feeling a LOT). I had carefully selected "Box Elder", a Pavement cover by the
Wedding Present, and listened to it almost continuously in the weeks before the
race. But as soon as I started swimming across Lake Minnetonka, the tune from
hell reared it's ugly head-"doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo Coca Cola!" I still
wake up screaming reliving the moment.

that the lyrics were inappropriate for someone as gentile and articulate

in this ng I'd say the Rocky theme is a better fit.

Usually in New Age or Instrumental section. It's OK for LSD workouts, but
for real hammer sessions or actual race music, I have to go with Iron
Pete's selections...more in the hard driving, out of your skull punk/metal
or industrial music genre. I like Nine Inch Nails first album for driving
to the race and getting the adrenaline up. It kind of sets the tone for
the swim start. Also anything from the early Iggy Pop albums, especially
Raw Power. Also Soundgarden, Rage Against the Machine, Danzig...anything
with guitars, drums, ragged vocal chords, and angst.
Cheers,
Andrew (refusing to mellow with age)

ten minutes later. I wasn't really leading the pack either.

Nick (and everyone)
The ULTIMATE (my opinion) training and racing soundtrack is Choirboys' "Big
Bad Noise" album. Plenty of rough Newcastle guitar and drums to spin, grind
and run to. Opens with (I think) "Run to Paradise" and leads into
"Struggletown", and follows with more of the same.
I get really inspired every time I run or do a trainer session with it on -
I even have this mostly developed (and incredibly corny) boy overcomes odds
to win big triathlon movie storyboard in my head that uses the album as a
soundtrack. It just runs itself in my mind every time I put the tape in the
stereo.

My favorites are too many to write here, but for starters my trainer workout
last Sunday featured three disc's by The Afghan Whigs.
My alltime favorite disc for riding, running, etc. was from the early
nineties by an obscure band from the UK called Swervedriver. Their disc
"Raise" was unbelievable.

describing Ray as a white male living in the suburbs, but you have
absolutely no idea how open Ray is to ALL kinds of music. I have known
Ray a long time and he has very sophisticated tastes in music. We often
talk about all forms of music during our training rides. Rap included.
You know what, we just do not like it. No big deal. Doesn't mean you
or anyone else shouldn't listen to it or like it or buy it. It just
isn't our cup of tea.
Let me take a stab at identifying you as long as you opened this door.
You must be a limousine liberal. Only someone like that would couch a
response such as yours negatively merely because someone stated they do
not like a kind of music. Music, one of the most subjective topics
known to the universe.

Hey Burb! Here I am. It never fails to surprise me, what music will
"sing" to me. All of us just have to be responding to a chord that
resonates with our own experiences somehow. Being a college-town,
white (on the outside) and misc.other person, it's not surprising that
I love opera and baroque and very early music. Being old, it's no
wonder I move to Billie, Bessie, and Bunny as well as the classical 3
B's. But reggae?-Yes; Rap?-No; R and B?-Yes; Country?-No. And why in
the world did I make up a tape for the car that includes The Doors,
Cream, Righteous Brothers, Bob Seger, Nina Simone, Bonnie Tyler,
BeeGees, Bob Dylan? Why do I turn off all the heart-wringers like
Morisette and Dion as well as any Industrial Rock? There is nothing
about my location, vocation, or avocation that can explain my tastes.
As for B.., J.., and L.., wasn't Sammy Davis, jr. all of the above?

be stepping over the line, but I've been greatly disturbed by a person
in this thread saying I like "all forms of music except rap" (a
profoundly significant form of music closly associated with the black
experience in the US) "except (some song by some white guy)." _That_
-- singling out one type of music closely associated with black people
except for a song performed by a white guy -- is more deeply insulting
than any comment I have made in this thread.
I wouldn't dare suggest someone should like this or that music, or even
put down someone's taste in music but the statement about liking any
type of music except rap except for some song by (Dylan) is disturbing.

John .....he doesn't like rap ..plain and simple. He didn't single out blues
except for Stevie Ray Vaughan along with it. Ok ...Rap is primarily black but
he didn't single out the Beastie Boys, Sublime, limp bizkit, Blondie (for
rapture), or even (god forbid) Vanilla Ice. Maybe he is just a hell of a bob
dylan fan. Think of it that way before you jump to a conclusion.

1500m swim songs are concerned, I alwas got the Who's "Underture"

for the distance. Starts off slow and deliberate, finishes with
power and furry. A good strategy for a race that requires one
to manage effort and intensity.
Ray Plotecia
roadies, is that Bob Dylan invented Rap music.
He likes Jazz, Blues, Reggae, Mississippi John Hurt, Ledbelly, and has named
one of his cats after Bob Marley. He participated in civil rights marches
in the 60's.
He also gets quite furious when people find racial overtones in comments
that do not contain them. This is a really insidious form of racism.
This is hardly the forum for this kind of thing. We were having a happy
discussion of music. That's all it was.

I've lost track of who said what, but somewhere in the middle of the
mud-slinging was the above statement referring to rap as the music
whose identification with Afro-Americans is so tight, it would be
suspiciously close to racism not to like it. I have a quite different
sense of which musicians are associated with Blacks: Marian Anderson
and Leontyne Price and, of course, Paul Robeson come immediately to
mind, although their music has more to do with the human experience
that transcends color. But then, I don't believe all Afro-Americans
are part of the low life that rap expresses so forcefully.
I understand the annoyance of calling what Dylan does rap; it was even
dumber to have Elvis Presley's whitened version of rock and roll come
to receive the acceptance that was not forthcoming to all that great
stuff I used to listen to on WJJD, Chicago, long before Elvis crossed
the "t" on his ghetttto.
All of which has zip to do with flat backs and ocean swimming.

performed by a particular white guy smacks of racism. There's nothing
wrong with not liking rap -- it's a powerful and often disturbing type
of music. But to like it only a Bob Dylan rap song, that's what I
object to.
Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Now read this carefully because this is where I am going to leave this
pissing contest officially:
We talk about many things on this news group. We don't always agree and we
don't always have the same tastes, likes, and dislikes. That's fine. A
good dialogue can do nothing but bring enlightenment.
HOWEVER
I personally resent your continued comments that seek to label me or my
musical taste as racist here in this public forum. Racism does not exist in
this thread. It never existed in this thread. And it probably will not
exist ever on this newsgroup. I'll tolerate your insinuations no further.
Is that clear, John Forrest Tomlinson?

While racing a 1500 I don't usually have a song in my head but my favorite
long course distance training song has always been "I'm Free" by The Who.
After being confined most of the year indoors in a 25yd pool, once the
summertime arrived and we trained in an outdoor 50 meter pool, well, this
song seemed appropriate & always got me going good on long swims.

hand, how many 100 year olds do you know. I don't think of it as 50 - I
think of it as half a century. Which isn't old if you're a tree.

brevity, I will not repeat my earlier assertions but if anyone is
interested, see www.dejanews.com. I stand by my statements.
Regarding your not tolerating my "insinuations" any further, it is not
clear at all. What do you mean? Do you mean you will not read
anything that I write. Fine. Or do you mean you are going to, what,
threaten me? Steal my computer? Cut my phone line? What? Please let
me know. Oh yeah, you're not going to read any more in this thread.
Great.

And in the National Park Service (my profession) you're officially historic at
50. Which means folks can't tear you down, paint you strange colors, or modify
your exterior without a LOT of paper work.

Doing so reveals John uncharacteristically sanctimonious.

This doesn't help.
But what would you accuse me of if I told you that I love all forms of
music except Country/Western, which I despise except when it is
performed by Charlie Price (one of very few black country performers)?
Rap is sufficiently different from the rest of the musical world such
that one's like or dislike of it can quite credibly have nothing to do
with the race of the performer. But perhaps Bob Dylan found a way of
expressing it that appealed, on the merits, to someone?
I could also say that I despise folk music sung off-key and out of
rhythm, except when done so by Bob Dylan. He makes off-key and
out-of-rhythm sound okay.

I'd be concerned you're racist. I'd speculate that you are black.

What was that joke that Robert Klein used to have in his routine about
20 years ago? He was talking about the music selected for beer
commercials, and he was offended (in jest) by the fact that he
identified with and preferred the R&B music in the commercials
obviously intended for black audiences over the country music in the
commercials obviously intended for white audiences. What we do or
don't like about music has little to do with the color of the
performer. Although some forms of rap offend me beyond my dislike of
the music, because of the message of hatred and violence that they
convey.

Would you believe that it was a typo? Or that I happen to know that
Charlie Pride is the stage name for [pause to reach into thin air]
Charles L. Price?
