Discuss: Most shameful song/artist (that is worth at least 5 watts in FTP)

Dave Tallo

I've recently discovered the cheesier I go on my youtube playlist, the better I perform on FTP/v02 work.   Motley Crue, for me, is worth 5 watts.   Or Van Halen.  But only real Van Halen; not the tribute band that had two van halen brothers, the original bassist and Sammy Hagar.  

Hair Metal.  There.  I've said it.  It feels good. 

Yours? 

 

John Withrow

For me going angry and loud is better than cheesy...
Rage Against the Machine is worth at least 5 watts...

Dave Tallo

Cool music, Joseph, but none of these are shameful!   Add in a few chestnuts from, say, Nickelback, and it might bring the shame balance into spec.

Patti Thompson

Not shameful but The Prodigy and Marilyn Manson make me feel like I can pedal through a brick wall

Al Truscott

Music is serious business to me...I wouldn't demean it by riding my trainer in the background while I listen/watch. For me, the shame lies in the TV shows I watch. Only the cheesiest will do. For several years, I went through "24". This year, I'm re-watching Game of Thrones. OK, so it's cheese with high production values...

Steve boer

Oh and i forgot my other dirty pleasure - One direction - Story of my life. 

Gareth Jenkins

AC/DC - Thunderstruck - on constant loop for each 10-12 mins FTP interval.

Bill Bejin

Dub step and "hot house" music.  Add in a little rage with a splash of OLD rap.  Done.

Chris Watson

Cheese you say? Here is my favorite cheese song and its worth AT LEAST 5.  #SELFIE by the chain smokers. Seriously. Go for a run and put that song on after you are warmed up. 

Terra Meierdierck

I guess Five Finger Death Punch is my cheesy band that I LOVE to work out to.  They get me pumped - and my friends constantly give me sh*t for it.  They even posted a meme one time to my Facebook wall. Or maybe Hole? A lot of people hate Courtney Love.

Besides that:

• Fear Factory
• Pantera
• Gwar
• Type O Negative 
• Agnostic Front

Gordon Cherwoniak

I just don't listen to music while riding much so anything from ABBA to Zeppelin would most likely get me 5 watts.  The only time in the last 3 OS's that I've had music on was after transition for 2015 IM when I did 4 days 8+ hours on the trainer.  I put some music on for that.  I don't even remember if it was for all 4 though.

Feel free to add in "Internet friends" by them - not as uptempo but still solid

Coach Patrick

Wow, some epic tunes here...and major points to David and @Joseph Lombardi for embedding stuff. I personally fire up trainer road, then head over to YouTube to find a One Day Classic (cobblestones please) to watch with no volume...like this...

And then in another tab, I'll fire up some techno concert like this:

And then ride my heart out, toggling back and forth when not checking work notifications on my iPhone!!!

Kirsten Surprenant

I'll play...  Hot N Cold by Katy Perry and Donna Summer's Bad Girls are high on the cheese meter for my power tests.  That helps bring more pain and wattage for me and I need every watt I can get.

Leslie Knight

For Cheese- Ricky Martin.  She Bangs.  In Spanish.  For real.  That one will make me run or bike super fast! And I love that it has a snippet from School House Rock "I'm Just a Bill" at the very beginning.
