For me it depends on the day... And the wind. Heavy wind days I listen to skrillex, AWOL nation, muse, crystal method, chemical brothers, Some old school hip hop or rap (beastie boys among my favorite)

For light wind days I enjoy the XX, Miles Davis (specifically the Kind of Blue album), Dave Brubeck quartet, pretty lights, of monsters and men, m83,

For any occasion... Black keys, Stevie ray Vaughn, Hendrix, radiohead, death cab for cutie, ratatat.

I really love Internet radio like pandora and spotify. It opened up a world of music I never new about and it's fun to just play a genre and see what comes up.

At present I just can't get enough of listening to Alt J while flying. Quality, quality, quality.

Anything by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Jamie T, Vampire Weekend puts me in a good mood, and a small penchance for Calvin Harris, Alex Clare, Leftfield, Hot Chip when I feel like I actually have the energy to move my feet lol. And if I want to just lose myself in the moment of sun on my back, blue sky, and nothing else to do then it's got to be ANY dub. The more bass the better :-D
