Robotics Music (What to listen to on the road to the Championships?)

Given your name, I should have definitely mentioned ANY Iron Maiden songs, but in particular The Trooper, Fear Of The Dark, Flight Of Icarus, The Wicker Man, and of course The Number Of The Beast

Now you're talking. I took a trip to London a couple years ago and spent an entire day visiting all of the pubs Iron Maiden played before making it big. You could say I'm a bit of a fan. I just hope the IRI finishes on time this year because I'm going to have to leave in time for the show at the Electric Knob that Saturday.

You should also throw in Aces High (in honor of 176), Wrathchild (good classic with punk influence), and Rainmaker (plus a bazillion others).

Edit: I just thought of some other fun songs with technology-type themes:

"Screaming in Digital" - Queensryche
"Analog Kid" - Rush
"Machine Men" - Bruce Dickenson
"Electric Funeral" - Black Sabbath
"NM156" - Queensryche
"Machinehead" - Bush

I'll think of some more, just had a brain cramp...

Not a big Screamo fan, but but give me any Metal song, and I'm ready to Rack N' Roll (cheesy, but had to do it)

You know, I read the title to this thread and I started thinking, which road?
Which road to the Championship Event?

The long road that has led to the Championship? That road? The road that for some teams, took years to travel for their first time visit? That road?

Or the actual road to the Championship - which is what this thread is about. That road? The road that buses and caravans are traveling? Trucks hauling not only their team's stuff but the stuff for the teams in the area? That road?

Or could it have been the road less traveled? That road? The road where decisions are hard, challenges are great, our human character is forged and reveals exactly who we are and what we stand for. That road?

And on all those roads, I decided it would have to be - The Beatles, The Eagles, Joni Mitchell, and Peter, Paul, and Mary. You get that - then you get it.

Safe travels everyone - enjoy the ride!

Adding it to our playlist at this moment! Just for the Aces!
(It's also a good song!)

[ExTexan]

The road where decisions are hard, challenges are great, our human character is forged and reveals exactly who we are and what we stand for.

Just to add to Jane's wonderful comments, if you drive all night, how can you not wake the team up to what has been called the most important political rock statement ever played!

Although he was to close the concert on Sunday night, it was Monday morning at 9:00am before he went on stage. He was advised not to play it...it was everything that the 400,000 attendees were protesting against.

And, at Woodstock, Jimi Hendrix played the Star Spangled Banner. It was a super hit and still raises hairs on my arms when I hear it.

(and then if there are really any old time rockers on the bus, you could actually think "alliances" and play Joe Cocker's Woodstock version of "With a Little Help from my Friends"!)
