I like your choices - you could add "Thank You for the Days" by the Kinks ;but the possible list is endless.

Bloody good choices Nico, hard to dispute.

I would choose two: a fast riding list and a slow riding list.

Hendrix - All along the Watchtower.
Metallica - One
Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name of
Meatloaf - Bat Out of Hell
Rolling Stones - Paint it Black

The Smiths - Girlfriend in a Coma
Velvet Underground - Heroin
ZZ Top - La Grange
Johnny Cash - When the Man Comes Around
Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone

There is my choice.

Good choices so far, my criteria is that you should be able to whistle along inside helmet or out so here's my pick:-

In the summer time - mungo jerry
changes - david bowie
harvest for the world - the isley brothers
in dreams - roy orbison
goodbye yellow brick road - elton john

Depends on the road of course. And the mood. But let's see, you said pissing around on the bike in warm countries. Mainly because I was listening to them on the iPod, these tracks remind me of some of the long hot roads I found in Turkey.

Woman in chains Tears For Fears

Hot cuz I'm deployed Houck & Simms

Hayling FC Kahuna "Don't think about.... all those things you fear...just be glad to be here"
(1½ minutes of build-up then take a deep breath...)

A different corner George Michael

A change is gonna come Seal

One day like this Elbow ".....a year'd see me right"

Weather to fly Elbow "are we having the time of our lives?"

Love's divine Seal

Slave to love Bryan Ferry

For Emma Bon Iver "..so many foreign roads...."

All a bit mellow I know, but that's the kind of tour it was.

But my all-time motorcycling anthem has to be:

Learning to fly Pink Floyd "Into the distance, a ribbon of black...stretched to the point of no turning back"

PS I can't count

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
