Rowing Music

[[old] Winz_Factor]

For me, its the Rocky 4 soundtrack, the Top Gun Soundtrack (skipping over Take My Breath Away and Memories (the goose is dead song), some Billy Joel: My Life, We Didn't Start The Fire, Downeaster Alexa, can't remember the band but the song Pour Some Sugar On, amd finally Bon Jovi: Its My Life, Shot through the Heart and Livin on a Prayer. St everything to shuffle and it keeps me going strong and if I close my eyes and just listen, i can just flow on the erg.

Anything by Linkin Park works for me. They seem to have a strong rhythm and steady beat...also high intensity in a lot of songs great for rowing competitive pieces.

Paul,<br /><br />Thanks much. I will try the Audacity program.

[[old] John Rupp]

Audacity says the track is 5:42, the same as the other program reduced it.<br /><br />However, windows media player still counts it as 5:51.

Country & Western or Bluegrass....gets me movin!

Rusted Root has a great rhythm, especially "Send Me On My Way", "Ecstacy", and "Drum Trip." Kasabian is good and upbeat too. I haven't been rowing long enough to get bored with it yet, but those seem to work well so far.

But I thought I'd throw in a link to <a href='http://concept2.ipbhost.com/index.php?s ... 2&hl=music' target='_blank'>this other C2 music thread</a> anyway. Post #2 is a bpm-based rowing list. If something on that list doesn't trip your trigger, you've clearly got a defective trigger.
