I don’t normally ride with music,  because I’m either talking to mates or worried about traffic. However, I make an exception for very big climbsl . I’m just thinking what my soundtrack will be on monster big climb day on our alpine tour, it includes the ominous sounding Colle dei Morti..  Suggestions welcome.
