Kyle Busch might be one of the biggest heels in NASCAR, but his playlist is pretty versatile. The Las Vegas native admitted during an interview that he enjoys Nirvana, Katy Perry, Linkin Park, The Killers, Guns N Roses, Black Eyed Peas, Van Halen, 3 Doors Down, and Journey.
It's kind of impossible to dislike a man with such a diverse list of musical tastes.

Everyone has a unique relationship with music, and Joshua Jacobs of the Raiders is no different. While most players want to use music to get pumped up, Jacobs revealed in an old interview that he is superstitious about the activity. He refuses to listen to any pregame music.
He later said that he doesn't listen to it if it's playing during game day. Well, at the very least, this strategy seems to have provided good luck. Joshua Jacobs set the rushing record in 2023.

A'ja Wilson is actually named after Steely Dan's 1977 Album and Song, "A'ja.". Her father reportedly chose the name because of its simplicity, and the song bonded them. It's still her favorite song after all these years.
Not much else is known about Wilson's musical tastes, but she did post a multi-track pre-draft playlist in 2018. This list includes songs like Bodack Yellow, Sandstorm, God's Got a Blessing, and Walk It Talk It. She has a very nice range of hip-hop/ rap songs on this list that are really worth listening to if you have time.

Jimmy Garoppollo might be controversial, but he doesn't let that get him down. The former 49ers Quarterback likes to draw inspiration from motivational music like "Ain't no mountain high enough" before games. The song is also a great metaphor for Grappollos's current situation.
There are several indications that Garoppollo won't be cleared to compete, but the team remains hopeful. The stakes couldn't be higher, however, and everyone knows that.
