I actually like most of their stuff (except for that dreadful last album, with the exception of 'Walking Up The Hill')

But 'Slide Show' is definantly one of their best .. definantly the best off 'The Man Who' anyways!

faceman

William Shatners - Thats me Trying
Off the album "has been". Bleedin sad song, makes me upset!

However if Im pi$$ed off and down I listen to System of a down!!! Try Cigaro off Mezmerise!!!

Le Rack

I was in the 10-12 age bracket when I liked it so yeah! Now, I is a rock chick... The imagery in that is funny though, my little sing offs over some hot lad...

monkeyfudge

The Tiger Milk album by Belle & Sebastian is a good one for this.

Somnus

System of a Down's self titled album

dundalk cailin

snow patrol - final straw

whatever song takes my fancy then, depends really

aidan_dunne

Okay, this might sound a bit strange to all of you but I always find "Birdhouse In Your Soul" by They Might Be Giants always seems to cheer me up. It's such a happy, bouncy, cheery, infectious tune. How could it not possibly put a big grin on your face..... even if the lyrics make no sense whatsoever!

Creamy Goodness

hmm

song
Weezer's - Holiday.

album
José González - Veneer.

Jimi-Spandex

If I want to cheer up;
The Polyphonic Spree- The Beginning Stages of....,
The Bees - Sunshine Hit Me,
Brian Wilson - Smile

If I want to wallow;
Tom Waits - Heart Attack and Vine,
Beck - Sea Change,
Radiohead - Amnesiac,

Basq

Ah yes... i've lost count of the number of times i've wallowed to 'Lost Cause'!

Binomate

Stevie Wonder - Innervisions
Michael Jackson - Any Album

Pepe LeFrits

to change the mood:

Weezer - Island in the Sun
New Order - Run 2

pretty much any of the other songs in the albums that those tracks are from do the same job.

to wallow in the mood:

Embrace - Looking as You Are
Snow Patrol - Run
Coldplay - Fix You
Coldplay - The Scientist
Nada Surf - Blonde on Blonde
Nada Surf - Inside of Love

again, these are from depressing albums for the most part!

Have always thought of Creep as quite uplifting myself... but each to their own!

rainbow kirby

Usually when I'm feeling down I listen to pretty upbeat stuff to try and cheer me up... so that would be
Sonata Arctica - Reckoning Night
Blind Guardian - Tales From The Twilight World
Dragonforce - Sonic Firestorm
Hammerfall - Chapter V: Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken

carpothepunk

Album:
Alkaline Trio-Good Mourning

Song:
Radiohead-High and Dry,My Iron Lung

You've got the Love - The Source feat. Candi Station

Flame Turns Blue by David Gray suits the mood sometimes too.

nesf

"Mad World" - Gary Jules


I used sing it a lot between houses when I worked as a door to door salesman.

Beer is Life

Cyndi Lauper - True Colours

bounty_hunter

Joan Osborne - One Of Us (the album)
It has varying effects, depending on the situation.

Rb

Mark McCabe - Maniac 2000

NoDayBut2Day

Usually an "I can do it" or "it's going to be ok" kind of song... usually varies...

Oriel

OK Computer
Ludovico Einaudi - Le Onde

Pighead

When Pigheads feeling blue and he needs some cheering up he'll generally turn to Suedes Coming Up as a source of comfort.2 minutes into Trash and everythings ok again.
Who Killed The Zutons also tends to do the trick.
Moving this to the Music Forum

soph

anything by John Mayer or Howie Day - Australia... they are fantastic artists.. Could listen to John Mayer in any form !

joe_chicken

To cheer me up:

Pet Sounds - those drums get me every time
or
Stephen Malkmus' first solo album
or
The Gypsey Kings - I dont know what they're singin about but god damn they do it well

To keep me down:

Kind of Blue
or
any Radiohead

Siogfinsceal

It depends what kind of upset. If im feeling really sad I will listen to 'Your song' from d moulin rouge soundtrack or the goo goo dolls 'iris' that sorta ting,

Most times when Im upset im tryin not to be sad so I go for angry instead. Alanis Morrisstte or Marylin Manson up full blast usually does it for me

Boo-yah

Songs

Weezer - My Name Is Jonas
The Flaming Lips - Do you realise?
Eels- Last Stop, This Town
Ben Folds Five - Kate

Rb

Journey - Any Way You Want It

Witchie

Yeah John Mayer for me too....especially "your body is a wonderland" brings me back to the best seduction i have ever experienced...makes me smile while I cry!

Stone Roses "She Bangs the Drums" helps me give the fingers to whoever has upset me "Kiss me where the sun dont shine, the past was yours but the future's mine, you're all out of time" always makes me feel better.

Dutchboy

Jeff Buckley's album ''Grace'' Especcially tracks 6 and 10!

Dont know the names of the songs unfortunately.........:o

Nice choice.

Personally, the song I love listening to when I'm down is "A New Level" by Pantera. The whole album (Vulgar Display of Power) actually is great for getting you out of a bad mood.
