Thanks for the article link, Kenneth. That was rather interesting.
I love music and play bass on occasion…but when I'm out on the trail I prefer the sound of Nature's music. Whatever gets ya going, of course!
I only listen to music in the wilderness when I'm on a special, lets call it "vision quest", and it consists of Native American music and a band called SIgur Ros.
xavier rudd. he is from australia. he is very spiritual and writes songs stemming from some intense spiritual experiences he encounters….
his music is so natural sounding and i love listening to it for a short period before i nod off in camp. or in the morning when i am getting up and moving…
check out songs : stargaze, fortune teller, the letter
Punk rock blaring as loud as possible!!! That is my camp music. Oh and who cares about anyone around me…….
(kidding). As much as I love the greatest genre of Rock N Roll, Quiet time in the mountains is to be cherished!

Simon and Garfunkel.
The sound of silence.
im with you Ken.. right now listening to the Blue Album.. but in the wilderness?
NO place for music. I go out there to get away from music. it actually is a violation of LNT principles if played aloud. so there's that.
peace!
"Friday"
Blue Album as in The Adolescents????
+1 "Friday" Or my favorite "Friday Off"
I never take music with me, but before a hike anything with banjos, washboards, or steel guitar usually sets the mood…
Iron and Wine
Ugly Casanova
The Devil Makes Three
etc…
yes Ken. I realize Weezer has a "blue album" but that's not really as fun.
Not for listening to while in the backcountry, but rather reminding me of a frame of mind I associate with being there.
Talk Talk – 'Laughing Stock' or 'Spirit of Eden'.
Excellent camp music–"Chill-Out for Sure"
The new: Thievery Corporation / It takes a Thief
16 songs & well over a hour
Excellent Hiking music–

You can not help but walk at least 3-4 MPH!
11 songs of R&R Joy!
Randy Travis, Merle Haggard, and Conway Twitty.
After all, you're out in the country, and maybe even "high on a mountain, in western Montana . . .
The sound of a creek, the crackling and hissing of wood at a campfire, the wind through the trees and the early morning bird calls at false dawn as I start another day on the trail. :)

I prefer to hear what's there. Don't need/ want to be distracted from nature or my own thoughts.

My own thoughts are rather dark and scary. I want to be distracted from them as often as possible……..
Oh Doug. I bet you make yourself laugh…
