Best Climbing Music?

Hey everyone.  I’ve been having a really hard time finding new good music lately.  I know that in the past I’ve picked up a bunch of really great songs at the crag from other climbers who were eager to share them.  For some reason, music at the crags has largely gone quiet, so I thought I would ask here.  I was wondering what everyone likes to jam to while climbing.  Thanks in advance!

I enjoy listing to the songs that play in my head. Some titles are:
"Your not good enough"
"Shake away the pump"
"That last piece was shit and I'm gunna whip"
"chicken legging all the way"
"where oh where did my beta go?"

 and the classic:

"YGD!"

Weak job at trolling, but I only like Wu Tang sung by D. Woods.

As long as you're blasting it on a shitty Bluetooth speaker, you're good. I'm leaving if I roll up to a crag and I don't hear some ear piercing distortion.

Ahh, that's your problem. There not on Spotify, only available on Deezer.

Check out Christopher Parker. He is a climber/musician who has some really good music, including a whole album with songs about climbing

Mostly garage punk and general punk rock for me. FIDLAR and Gogol Bordello are a couple fave bands for getting pumped up. I only listen while training though, not when at the crag.

I prefer the classic song by Iggy and the Stooges, "I got my cock in my pocket" on repeat while at the crag. ;-)  I don't get why people bring their Bluetooth to the crag. It ranks up with badly behaved crag dogs and babies. Also, what's up with the hammocks?

This is akin to asking a waitress wait her favorite dish is.

For some reason I can’t make it through a whole 20 min Arc session unless I’m listening to Jinjer.
