Top 5 Songs for a Skiing Playlist

By Rocky Thompson on November 2nd, 2006

the clash

If you don’t have these at the top of your ‘ski’ playlist you should head to iTunes before you pick up your season pass. Granted, this is totally personal, but it just doesn’t get any better.

1. Spoon – I Turn My Camera On

2. The Replacements – I Will Dare

3. The Flaming Lips – Turn It On

4. The Clash – Safe European Home

5. Oasis – All Around the World

    Terrible list. Check out the Tangerine Dream soundtrack for some good music to ski to.

    Good work! Add this to your shred mix: Fugazi – Waiting Room, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah – On This Tidal Wave of Young Blood, Pixies – Broken Face, The Replacements – I Bought a Headache.

    I hope your skiing ability is better than your taste in music…..something tells me that your poor taste in music equals your skiin ability.

    J, I am not a huge fan of this playlist. Why don’t you post your top 5 playlist ( Britney, Backstreet, Jars of Clay) so everyone can find out how awesome a skier you are.

    I just checked the Tangerine Dream soundtrack and it’s not too bad! At least there’s some Bowie and Pinback on there. Guess I’m not a big fan of Ski Rock – by the way where’s the G Love and Special Sauce? Thought you skiers loved that crap.

    Hey Slizzard – What’s your tTop 5?

    8ball and MJG – relax and take notes ( not on itunes)
    Cam’ron and Juelz Santana – More Gangsta Music
    B.G. – My World
    The Misfits – American Psycho
    Lyricson – Black and Da Roman

    now please……feel free to knock my list , for warning I don’t need any crap about rap or an explanation of skier’s who listen to reggae

    ALL IN- BAUMER
    2+2=5 – Radiohead
    Superman- Bad Religion
    Stir it up- Bob Marley
    Some Red Slide of hand- Cursive
    Memory loss- Deltron 3030
    Cool like that- Digable Planets
    Die, Die my darling- misfist
    Saw Red- Sublime
    I come from the water- the toadies

    When maximizing your ride you have to listen to something unscrupulous. You need to give your blood and endorphines a jolt. Listening to Barry Manillo- Its a small world after all- doesnt matter if your black or white-music isnt going to do the trick for you, my friends!

    Yeh you guys got some Misfits going on, always a good call! Not sure about all the rap though. the hip hop i know is Dizzee Rascal.

  11. slizzard November 7th, 2006 at 3:00 pm

    G Love sucks. Scumbags that call the Bird and Jackson home, and have scumbag nicknames like that hippy crap.

  12. hotKARLLatte November 7th, 2006 at 3:01 pm

    Some of these choices are some oddball sh#t. Are you guys stealing your playlists from a ballet locker room>=?

  13. hotKARLLatte November 7th, 2006 at 3:05 pm

    Slizzard. What do you know about anything bird or jackson. Judging by your play list you were weened on a pickle, went straight to the lean, and you smoke it wet. Go steal some click em’ from you local mortuary and give Jaime Kennedy back his Ipod!

    LIke you said its opinion not fact but dude that is a shocker. Seriously couldn’t have put together a worse set of tracks. Where is the energy ? and OASIS do me a favour

  21. BrosephTha3rd January 6th, 2012 at 10:32 pm

    Nobody should knock anyone’s music. It adds a personal addition to the epic sport we play/ride. I dont care what people listen to as long as I can’t hear it in the lift lines. Music is personal, kind of like family. Do you fuck with another persons family?

    Anyway My top 5 is:
    1. Magic-Ladyhawke
    2. Marie-Vybz Kartel
    3. Python-Dodge and Fuski
    4. Otherside-Macklemore
    5. 41- Dave Matthew’s Band

    Like a family it has a little bit of everything,from the creepy uncle to the kind grandma and to the chill cousin who bumps HARD
