First song you go for when feeling down?

mp3guy

For me, it'd probably be Dream Theater - Space Dye-Vest...

po0k

Wilt - No Worries
Therapy? - Screamager
Pantera - Fscking Hostile

Or a myriad of others.

mp3guy

pantera? You must feel pretty angry when you're down...

Ro: maaan!

To cheer me back up...

Stiff Little Fingers - Silver Lining


To bask in the sadness... There are too many.

mp3guy

exactly... I never go for the cheering up, basking in sadness is much more fun, eventhough that gets all the sadness out..

UNIFLU

down in a hole by alice in chains

then jhonny was by slf as a pick me up!!

works like a charm

Sarky

Joe Satriani- Chords Of Life is a good one.Makes me feel like jumping around regardless of how down I am.

A lot of Motorhead has the same effect. Particularly Bomber, Ace Of Spades, and the song they did with Girlschool (I think) called Please Don't Touch.

Hayseed Dixie are good for a laugh, and so are good for cheering you up.

Elessar

Shine Jesus Shine

Bottle_of_Smoke

Mundy Addicted\rescue remedy
Pogues - Thousands are sailing\rain street
Pantera - walk
greenday - when i come around

Gonzo

Ministry - Jesus Built My Hotrod
Anything by The Melvins

Sepultura - Inner Self

Piste

Anything by Queen, Innuendo cheers me up always.

nesf

Generally something by Pantera if I want to get over it by anger, something bluesy like Eric Clapton if i want to feel down, Radiohead if I'm looking to hit an all time low moodwise, or Barenaked Ladies or something equally happy and bouncy if I'm trying to cheer myself up.

Generally tho I listen to depressing/angry music when I'm down. Not sure why. I think it calms me

John

Nick Cave. Not because it's uplifting but because his lyrics make you feel that although you're feeling down, you're not as far gone as him

you really like that song? I thought it was one of Bush's weaker one's. Rather Everything Zen or Machinehead

Farls

Don't get me wrong i like their other stuff too but that song really hits the nail on the head when i'm feeling down.

It's probably cuz i was listening to it during a "tough time in my life" :eek:

Cause and effect dude. Are you sure that it didn't actually CAUSE this tough time? Gavin Rossdales voice can have unusual effects on people. I can still remember when I heard Everything Zen for the first time back in 1996 in Carlow when I was at college. Goosebumps or what!!!!!!

NeMiSiS

Billy Joel - Uptown girl !
Class song.

Farls

haha, i hear ya man

When i think back it is quite possibly that song that kept me in that sort of mood. it didn't get me there tho!

When you think about it though every decent song has some sort of effect on your mood. And depending what mood your in before you hear that song defines what mood it will put you in future most of the time

Mr Farls, is this a conspiracy theory you're hinting at?

Farls

The whole world is a big conspiracy!

Third Eye Blind - Jumper
Third Eye Blind - Deep inside of you

Matchbox20 - Freshmen

bringitdown

Tool : Eulogy

To ascend you must die.
You must be crucified
For your sins and your lies.
Goodbye...

Tool : Ticks and Leeches

Hope this is what you wanted.
Hope this is what you had in mind.
Cuz this is what you're getting.

Suck me dry.
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you had in mind?
Cuz this this is what you're getting.
I hope you choke.

Always motivates me....

Mr. CooL ICE

Pantera seems a popular one, and yeah, Rise, Fcuking Hostile, Shattered, Heresy, and the ultimate one... Cowboys From Hell. True happy angriness.

Listening to the odd bit of Type O Negative does the trick too. It suits your mood, yet isn't serious enough to keep you feeling that way.

Currently am listening to Finntroll - Trollhammaron. True classic.

Shiminay

Dying Fetus - Destroy The Opposition.
Slayer - Sex. Murder. Art.
Sepultura - Arise.

Corruptedmorals

When I'm sad...Opeth and/or Nirvana. Especially:

Nirvana- Something in the Way
Nirvana- You Know You're Right
Nirvana- All Apologies

When I'm angry..Pantera or Sepultura..around the 'Arise' album, not their recent stuff...

And Crowbar. They're great..they make you want to kill someone after a while.

Creamy Goodness

weezer - surf wax america.
biffy clyro - questions and answers.
green day - worry rock.
jimmy eat world - a praise chorus
