What song/album do you listen to you when you're feeing blue?

Nightwish

Century Child by Nightwish

Funkstard

Imogen Heap - Hide and Seek

The weirdest, most wonderful song ever

Sauron

Most Radiohead, OK computer mainly... mixed in with a few random ones.. (True love Waits) ...I've always thought of the bends as more uplifting for the most part..
Eels - Beautiful Freak

to cheer up:

Some Bob Dylan (It's all over now, Baby Blue)
some U2..
some Pumpkins, (Siamese Dream)
and some Radiohead... oddly enough

There are some really good ones there.

Agree that the Bends by Radiohead is uplifting in a strange way.

Someone mentioned the Smashing Pumpkins and have to say that "Today" is one of my fav songs of all time and if i hear it no matter how am feelin cant help being cheered up and sing at the top of my voice.

Ray D'Arcy just played Radiohead "High and Dry"....sitting with tears in my eyes.

Lot of mentions of Weezer, i'd have to agree, specifcally In The Garage. A pro-nerd masterpiece!

Ya. The b-side "You Gave Your Love To Me Softly" is another.

daithimac

hurt by johnny cash WOW!

Civilian_Target

To perk up? 3 Inches of Blood, "Over the Hills" or any Oceanborn by Nightwish, Machine Head, The Beatles, System of a Down.

To stay down? Lacuna Coil, Slayer.

Pitseleh

Pitseleh - Elliott Smith
Let Down - Radiohead - far and away, the greatest track on 'Ok Computer'.

Yep.. tis excellent alright!

Famously used in 'The OC' Season 2 finale.. believe the song got quite a bit of exposure after that.

Atrocity

aphex twin - S.A.W. Volume 2
eels - electroshock blues
nick drake - pink moon
smiths - louder than bombs

Binomate

Anything from James Brown, or Michael Jackson- She's out of my life

Tar.Aldarion

Oh God, about a thousand songs...
Most of them are crap ones that I only like because I'm depressed.

Steve_o

I like listenin to Pearl Jam and Bob Dylan when i'm blue its nice cheer up music!! If i get too happy i listen to some Damien Rice, that usually throws me right back in the depths of depression and so the circle continues.

tony 2 tone

At the moment I'm listening to deftones b-sides and rarities esp change (in the house of flies) acoustic and the cover of please please please let me get what i want, cheer me up, for different reasons.
Normally its a mix of Elliot Smith then a dose of Pantera or Helmet to blast any remains of feeling down away.

NineMoons

Either my 'sad songs' playlist (30 songs, ranging from the LotR soundtrack, through Aimee Mann, the Pogues, Sinead O'Connor, Damian Dempsey, Christy Moore, eels, Jeff Buckley and Alison Krauss)

or else just OK Computer. Still my all time favourite album.

But if I really don't want to wallow, it's got to be Queen!

something fast if im down then the prodigy turns it to rage
