Good Wakeboard Songs?

aceofdymondz · Posted: May 14, 2006 6:19 pm Post subject: Good Wakeboard Songs?

So I'm looking for some good up-beat power pop-ish type songs for the upcoming season. Maybe some stuff like Jerk it Out by The Caesars... that's my ultimate favorite song to wakeboard to... sooo... any ideas?

Taste in music aside, I find it hard to see people getting pumped or wakeboarding to anything pop-ish. *EDIT* Just listened to Jerk it Out. I can see that being played to ride behind. Not bad. Nice, flowing style. The music I'm recommending is radically different.

This probably won't be your style, but try a few of these out, if you care to:
(all Band names)

Rage Against the Machine
Audioslave
Linkin Park
Fort Minor
Static X
Foo Fighters
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Particle

If you're into the whole flowy, relaxed feel while you ride (rather than real pump-up), I've got loads of good jam suggestions:

Phish
Umphrey's McGee
Victor Wooten
Warren Haynes
Gov't Mule
Incubus
Allman Brothers Band

I personally like songs that i've heard in wakeboarding videos, becuase anytime i hear those songs, I think of whoever rode in that section, which gets me pumped. I also like songs that i've never heard in a video, but could deffinately be a good song to put in a video.

Stewie, any recommendations? i totally agree with you though... like the song from ben greenwood's section in relentless... Very Happy

love it...

BigMace255, thanks... actually i do listen to a lot of those bands when i'm not riding... and some when i am... like rhch... some good stuff there... thanks a ton!

BigMace255, btw i think power pop was a bad way to explain what i'm looking for just good pump up songs with a flowy feel is what i'm looking for... not like backstreet boys haha... that's what i think of when i think pop... bleh... more like...

hot hot heat
the caesars
franz ferdinand
panic! at the disco
hellogoodbye
the sun

If you want something different with great beats check out "Gnarls Barkley" the released a single called Crazy, but the whole album is great. It's C-lo, and a DJ called Danger Mouse. Check it out.

panic at the disco is growing on me. Senses Fail is really good, but that has more of a screamo edge to it.

also, check out www.pandora.com

you put in the name of an artist you enjoy, and you can listen to bands that are similar in style.

you should go out and buy yourself a Wakeboard DVD or borrow a friends. Its amazing how watching a rider you admire will influence how you like the song that they huck too.

One song thats not too hard, yet pumps you up is the song from Byerly's session in the movie Counterfeit this. Awsome song, but i cant remember the name.

Up beat
Fasten your seatbelts - pendulum vs the freestylers

Here is a link if you want the song:

This is one one my favorite boat songs, it encompasses the party atmosphere and it slaps on the speakers.

Fuel injected by swollen members. I think it was in a vid of Parks but I can't remember

my new favorite to get me pumped is Fort Minor- Remember The Name

But my favorites are always changing...

I've gotta admit... I can't stop listening to ska, but metal and anything else fast gets me stoked.

Sublime, Norma Jean, Alexisonfire (their older stuff), A Billion Ernies, AFI, The Fall of Troy... That's pretty much all that's in the boat CD Very Happy

A buddy of mine only listens to europop Neutral

I've really been feeling Cute Without the E by Taking Back Sunday because of JD Webb and Aron Rathy's parts in Counterfeit This

There is nothing out there that will get you more pumped to ride than Rage Against The Machine. And like dude said, Gnarls Barkley is a little different, but I could def see riding to it.

fouroheight68, omg thank you so much... i now have an awesome band to wakeboard to... i love it... i mean i've heard about them but never checked them out...

ive seen dudes cruising around in wake boats cranking michael Jackson.

we usually sit on the water and play a myriad of songs. anything from pop punk, to screamo, to hardcore metal, to 70 and 80's buttrock, and hip hop to gangsta rap. and even some country thrown in. sometimes its fun to listen to lame songs to be funny, and sometimes you just wanna hear a good song. as far as riding, well, havent had a chance to get on the water yet, waters still a bit chilly, and this is the first year ive gotten to be on a boat with tower speakers. should be nice.

also, Panic! At The Disco is really growing on me.

If you are into chill music, definatly check out Pinback, like someone has already mentioned. They get me in the mood to ride as well as some good classis Van Halen, Motley Crue, and other butt rock. But Pinback for sure.

Ian_82, I guess Mac Dre is on another level than you. Here in the bay it would almost be blasphomy to bad mouth Mac Dre, thats how much people like him here.

amon tobin, the mars volta/at the drive in, the fall of troy and brazil all get me really psyched to ride.

david-d, cut me a little slack here, of course I don't know everybody in my region. Very Happy

But lets just say Mac Dre is very popular here.
