I have not purchased one of these Blue Tooth contraptions yet therefore I have not ever listened to anything but the wind. Buddy I ride with listens to sports and makes calls on his phone and when we stop at a red light he has to turn his blue tooth off when I try to talk to him. It just seems like a bit much. I wouldn't mind some music though, just as long as it isn't meatloaf! lol
Each time I hear the Dandy Warhols, I'm reminded of this CB1100 Review,

One of these days I gonna buy one of these newfangled flat glass things, I believe I heard someone call them "smart phone". I'm told they can store music and play it with tiny ear phones that fit under the helmet.

Dave Alvin, yes. Texas country rock.

Oh my.. that doesn't sound like the song I listened too called "Photograph" or something. That's more what I call headbanger music.
I don't listen to music when I ride,(other than the tunes that sometimes pop in my head).
Nothing but wind baby!

Ahh "Turn Turn Turn" perfect for the roads I ride
Novice must ride a 14 std lol
I would have though Ptero would more have been an Elvis guy than a Nickleback (which honestly I had never heard of lol, but I googled them and they seem like "new" country which I think came in with Garth Brooks who I like btw)
edit: notice proper use of work "like" in the sentence above
Elvis! Elvis? Oh Ferret, how you mis-read me. Even back in the good-old-bad-old days I much preferred Chuck Berry or Jerry Lee Lewis.
But I think it is time for me to come out of the closet. I am truly what some may call an "Opera Buff" and, second to that, most forms of classical music. In most cases though it doesn't go well with wind noise though, too great a dynamic range.
I like to listen to a great variety of music when I'm cruising, not so much when turning, and the Bose QC20i in-ears sure facilitate that. When ready one click and no music but still noise cancelling. Easy.

Meat Loaf's Bat Out Of Hell certainly is one of the best ever. I wore out two copies in vinyl and am now on my second or third CD. Even my daughter thinks it's a great classic, I had to buy her her own copy.

I can't say that any particular music reminds me of the CB but when I ride and I'm plugged into the IPhone I usually have a couple of play lists set up just for riding...much of those lists are comprised of "classic rock" with Led Zep...Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, AC/DC etc. figuring prominently. Newer stuff includes clutch, Eddy Vedder on his own and so forth
Here's an artist I just recently found out about....Has some great stuff....very unpretentious and raw sounding.
Fred Eaglesmith...this is his tribute song To Johnny Cash

Also check out his Rifles and Pistols, Jericho, etc etc..

Ahh, the perfect soundtrack. 
I'm with Guth on this one...whatever bike I'm on...it's the engine's sound that really moves me. Of course, there might be some Beatles playing inside my head...
