What music picks you up when you're feeling down?

[logan_weapon_x]

I know there's songs like rock or pop or whatever that can make you feel good, but I mean when you're feeling down about things. For me it would have to be:


Morrissey
Flaming Lips
The Eels
Johnny Cash

 

[Hades]

The Beatles always do it.

 

[Kaleb]

I do agree with you on the eels

Music is like booze. You should only indulge if you're already up.

What? no led zeppelin

Hedwig and the Angry Inch soundtrack always cheers me up.

To "pick me up when I'm feeling down"?

"Aw, life is good! You'll never be a third as cool as Jimmy Page! John Bonham died by vomit! and you'll never, EVER write a song as good as this!"

Sounds like a real pick-me-up.

 

[U.S War Machine]

maybe alittle Styx

 

[ILuvCyclops]

The Smiths - especially The Boy With A Thorn In His Side

So I take it Zeppelin is the music you listen to when you're binge drinking late at night by yourself then

 

[huskerwebhead]

Tony C and the Truth - Kind of a blues/rock mix.
Tom Petty always helps too...great road trip music too.

 

[Superman79]

Poi Dog Pondering--"Complicated"

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

nerp. That would be "Dixie Dregs", "Yes", "Devo", Bowie, "fIREHOSE" or "King Crimson"(80's incarnation).
Now shut up, I'm feeling a mood coming on.

 

[Erzengel]

Polka.

 

[Mr. Credible]

80's power-pop.

usually, men without hats.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

They had no "power".

 

[Ronny Shade]

Prince - Dirty Mind

 

[logan_weapon_x]

Why can there never just be a genuine thread on the hype. It has to always end up with some ass in friggin' clown shoes!

 

[PLAS]

The Flaming Lips last four albums (at war, yoshimi, the soft bulleting and zaireeka)
Sigur Ros second album
Elliot Smith's From A Basement On A Hill

[Ronny Shade]

Thanks, man. I'm trying to tickets for them when they come to Scotland in November.

 

[Leto Atrides]

Techno, metal (DragonForce, Manowar), 80s pop music (A-Ha, Duran Duran, Katrina and the Waves)

As for an individual song, "Higher and Higher" by Jackie Wilson .

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Elliot Smith's From A Basement On A Hill

The guy so depressed he had the balls to stab himself in the heart...wild.

me, my girlfriend and a couple who are really good friends with us are mayor Flaming Lips fans and we want to see them, but the chances of them coming anywhere near where we live are slim
