What do you guys play for tunes on the water?

[sysinu]

Yellow card and breaking benjamin sound great in a cove on the water!

I have my old iPod hooked up in the boat. It has my mix of Eagles, Journey, REM, Rush, Ephram Lewis, Alabama, David Koz, Earth Wind & Fire and everything in between. I have very diverse tastes.

 

[smthng]

Yello, but not just the one song... I'm pretty sure I have everything ever released... Moby, a few Marillion tracks. They're always with me and are my staples. Others get swapped in based on mood... Lorde, Kate Bush, Billy Idol, Visage, The Cure, Feist, General Public, Front 242, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and sometimes Buckwheat Zydeco. Yes, I'm mostly trapped in the 80s and get a lot of "What is that?" comments from kids.

A product of the 70's mainly, but throw in some of the talent from Woodstock and mix it up with the rest. I hit the water and when I open it up leaving the no wake zone, I warm up the stereo with this

And when we get to the cove, it will be an assortment of 70's, 80's and even some 60's. I can drift with the country, and even chill with some jazz and blues. Occasionally, when the wine kicks in and the conversation is mellow, a little Andre Segovia hits the spot. But I am a Fleetwood Mac, Loggins and Messina, CCR, CSN, Eagles, Beatles (and the lineage that followed), even let YES and ELP have their time on stage again. And of course looking for the elusive drum solo that gives you goose bumps! It would be Ginger Baker while with Blind Faith in the early years but after Cream...here is one where Eric and Bruce just walk off and give in to an amazing and probably the foremost drummer in the world, Mr. Ginger Baker.

I play Cream and Blind Faith when I am remembering my youth and that drum solo doesn't get shared often, because it just isn't appreciated. And now, Do What You Like...

Do listen past the 9 minute mark to finish. It is some of the most talent you will hear on the drums.
You have to love the Blues/Jazz/Rock that Clapton and Company expanded.
I love my pod...30GB, the sound of my life.

You are welcome to run my radio anytime! That's pretty close to my Spotify lists that I play on the boat, you are just missing some Beastie Boys, Pearl Jam, Royal Blood, Crystal Method, Muse, Ok Go, etc.

 

[Glassman]

Listen, I've told you guys before....everybody is tired of the same ol' country and or western, rock & roll, pop and all that other crap......you want to be the hit of Party Cove, you gotta blast that POLKA BABY!

GREAT STUFF!

Now who doesn't like Polka? Just give me a few beers first.

@Glassman ............ gimme a break, Son ............... LOL !

 

[Chiajake]

The one song we always play when cruising the lake is Born Free by Kid Rock. We think it fits being on a boat greatly.

 

[Englewoodcowboy]

This is always a good mix to get the bodies to move... Emilioooooo!

 

[Kross]

I have been using Pandora, and use station Radioactive Radio... It is an awesome station, probably the best station I have found this far.....

track by imagine dragons?

 

[jfkraus]

R.I.P

 

[David D]

Good suggestions (except for the Polka) - haha. I love Pandora but use Spotify because you can download the playlist before you head out and save your data plan. I have a huge plan, but I feel better not hearing the meter tick ... I'm listening to @PaulyB 's Radioactive list right now.

 

[dustinjean]

people get so confused on my boat if we throw it on a usb we have a few to choose from. one for wakeboarding one for surfing and one for just pitching anchor or driving around etc.. for wakeboarding its mostly older rap and some rock, for surfing its mostly dubstep style stuff, and for pitching anchor its everything from oldies to rap to country and if we get tired of the usb's pandora always gets the job done one way or another.

 

[Volffas]

"Boats" by Kenny Chesney gets played just about every time out. It has been the 1st and last song of the season on the boat ever since it came out.

Here's a video I made in 2009 with pictures from our old boat using that song:
