Pre event Music

So I am curious to see what some folks crank up when readying themselves for a big ride or race.

For me its always something upbeat, fast, and LOUD.

My Favorites are:
The Avett Brothers- Rock/Punk feel with bluegrass instruments. (www.TheAvettBrothers.com)

Rise Against- Fast paced, heavy guitar, metal (www.riseagainst.com)

The Offspring- 90's rock/punk group. Young vibe with good sounds. (www.offspring.com)

Those are just a few of my favorites.

What are yours?

Funny, I've never been much of a music-before-competition fan. I find it just distracts me. I'd rather be totally silent in preparation. Sometimes for Time Trials I even wear ear plugs during warmup and even in the race.
