Powder Playlist

Powder Playlist
I never know when I am going to have time during the season to do this, so this year, I wanted to plant the seeds early for a new iTunes playlist for the upcoming season. I am pulling together tracks to listen to on the first deep Utah powder day, and calling it GSOE®. I'm just starting to put it together now, tend the soil, cultivate it, but I need some help. Here are the first 5 tracks, in "track/artist" format:
1. Uprising, Muse
2. 10,000 Feet, Wolfmother
3. California Queen, Wolfmother (it's ok to have 2 in a row from the same band, because it's Wolfmother)
4. Ramble On, Led Zeppelin
5. Theme from The Dukes of Hazzard, Waylon Jennings (don't ask, probably will move this to the end as I add more tracks)
I need more suggestions. I need to mix it up. What are you listening to? What music gets in your playlist when you are charging hard, playing in the park, or cruising groomers? Leave a comment with 5 "must haves" from your playlist, so I can check them out. Hit it. I don't care if it's hair metal, disco, country, or Nickelback. Ok, actually, I do care, but tell me anyway.
Your Comments
Iron Maden, Run to the Hills
AC/DC, Hells Bells

traffic, tiesto

Nothing at all, just the serene sounds of nature in Utah!
snow patrol “chasing cars”
Raconteurs “steady, as she goes”
Felony “The Fanatic”
Tom Petty “You Wreck Me”
Def Leppard “High & Dry”
This may be a little old school but here goes:
1. Jungleland, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band
2. Thunder Road, Bruce and the E Street band
3. Candy's Room, Bruce and the E Street Band ( so you sense a pattern?)
4. Promised Land, Bruce and the E Street Band
5. any thing by the Kings of Leon!
The main ones on my powder day list are:
1. Teardrop, Massive Attack
2. Freshies, Keller Williams
3. Dramamine, Modest Mouse
4. The Riddle, Random Rab (I pulled this one from Sage's powder riding in TGR'S film Anomoly)
5. Amazing, Kanye West
I like to slow it down for powder.
I'm all about the old-school style hip-hop when I am out on the board. Some of these are a little more old school than others (warning, this list is not child-friendly):
Boom Biddy Bye Bye - Cypress Hill
Drop That S**t - B Real
Girls Gone Wild - Ludacris
Latin Girls - Black Eyed Peas
One Eight Seven - Dr Dre
And finally, I am lately really digging Love Train by Wolfmother. Oh and My D*ck by Mickey Avalon. lol
All good suggestions. Here's a few more:
You Tear Me Up - The Buzzcocks
360 Degrees - Push Button Objects
Horror Business - The Misfits
Flat Light - Built to Spill
Any song by the Pixies will work
The Diamond Sea - Sonic Youth
Savory - Jawbox (just rediscovered this track thanks to the Reissue)
I think I need to go make a playlist now.
I am adding:
Wolf Like Me, TV on the Radio
and
She Wolf, Shakira
Is it weird that I have two "wolf" songs? Awhooo!
1.) Crazy Train, Ozzie
2.) Bad Seeds, Tomorrow's Bad Seeds
3.) Won't Get Fooled Again, The Who
4.) Aqualung, Jethro Tull
5.) Welcome to the Jungle, G N' R
tunes that groove - in no particular order
what you do to me, blakroc
black magic, magic wands
funk 4 peace, fort knox five
shake your shimmy, living things
rocks, primal scream
With full disclosure that I am a bit of a U2 fanatic (though Muse is also a great choice), here are the top-5 from my Alta Playlist:
1. Elevation (Influx Remix), U2
2. Until the End of the World, U2
