If you’re looking for a solid song to listen to while you’re erging, “Smoke on the Water” is it. Such a classic song, not to mention a perfect description of those foggy morning rows. It’s a “must-have” for any erg playlist. M83’s “Midnight City” is one of those songs that you would swear is in every rowing video on YouTube ever so it seemed like an obvious choice for a playlist. The other “must-haves” on here are U2’s “Vertigo”, The Black Keys’ “Gold on the Ceiling”, and Def Leppard’s “Pour Some Sugar on Me”. You haven’t experienced a real erg test until you’ve been in a boathouse with guitar-heavy music blasting at full volume with the whirr of the ergs in the background. The PR potential in conditions like that are high.
