hip hop can be good, electronica is what I play to alot though, stuff like capsule and 80kidz has an awesome housy feel to it and is at just the right tempo. Hardcore stuff like hatebreed is also at a good tempo and the 2step beats are great to shred to! Also sure I saw a post in general footbag somewhere about shred playlists, will prob be worth tracking it down.

listen to whatever makes you psyched up! some people like angry music... I like energetic music ... gypsy jazz is really cool.

Gypsy jazz? Awesome! I've never thought of shredding to it, but will have to give it a try now!

Dark Psychedelic Trance & South-African Full-On Night, that's the kind of music I like to shred with. The beat is intense, and makes me want to go faster, move more rhythmically.

I think Matt Cross' advice was the best - play to whatever music makes you feel pumped up.

Lon Smith once told me that every day he puts on his favourite CD at the time and plays to the length of that. I think that's a really good way of practising.

For anyone who uses Pandora & can listen to it where they kick - I've been kicking to a station with The Pharcyde, Digable Planets, and A Tribe Called Quest, and I recommend it. If anyone's interested, PM me your email address & I'll send it to you.

The dancing probably bears a passing resemblance to a few, lazily performed, footbag moves

when your looking for a song, i you looking to match the song with the trick you do, or are you just looking for a song that makes you feel "pumped" as matt said?

the reaon i ask is because i saw a vid of david clavans in a final and he was freestyling to the song from aladin!!!

who the hell gets inspired by that? haha

Lady Gaga, Alkaline Trio, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Slightly Stoopid, Rise Against, Sublime ...

I guess just about everything ... ha!

insert a random techno/d&b/ hip hop artist and it will play that artist plus artists that are similar to them. I use it everyday i shred pretty much.

Music with some energy.

i like to try and alter my style to what the music feels like. listen to dubstep and try to play like lon smith, listen to anything smooth and play like peter, listen to fast classical and play like ryan. listen to anything that makes you feel godlike and play like vasek

I just plugged my computer to my half stack and sang along to that song like a dickhead. Soulja Boy is such a joke.

All I can say is Squarepusher makes some sexy as songs to play to. Pretty good tempos for footbag.

For some reason, I really like shredding to these guys:
