what kind of music do you listen to when you're going through some tough times/having a bad day

[redhairedqueen22]

hi guys, i want to know what knid of music makes you feel better when you're facing some tough times/having a bad day. For me, when i'm having a tough day, i listen to anything from christina aguilera's fighter, creed's overcome, KISS, lizzy borden, elvis presley, papa roach's kick in the teeth, and of course a little led zeppelin thrown in the mix

[fishhead]

Marvin Gaye

[Jahfin]

This usually does the trick:

[Reggie29]

Anything but the blues because they don't help!

[Virginia]

SIBLY, Motown and Chaka Khan. And sometimes Keith Urban...

[ally]

I try to up the pace a little. Usually something that rock's pretty good

[Flyingzepp]

I write

[3hrsoflunacy]

Anything but the blues because they don't help!

Ditto and add Pink Floyd to the list of non helping music.

Ozzy era Black Sabbath, for some of their lyrics just exactly describe the feel of pain, agony, anger and desolation one sometimes can get.

You see like this one:

"Sabbath bloody Sabbath"

You've seen life through distorted eyes

You know you had to learn

The execution of your mind

You really had to turn

The race is run the book is read

The end begins to show

The truth is out, the lies are old

But you don't want to know

Nobody will ever let you know

When you ask the reasons why

They just tell you that you're on your own

Fill your head all full of lies

The people who have crippled you

You want to see them burn

The gates of life have closed on you

And there's just no return

You're wishing that the hands of doom

Could take your mind away

And you don't care if you don't see again

The light of day

Nobody will ever let you know

When you ask the reasons why

They just tell you that you're on your own

Fill your head all full of lies

Where can you run to

What more can you do

No more tomorrow

Life is killing you

Dreams turn to nightmares

Heaven turns to hell

Burned out confusion

Nothing more to tell

Everything around you

What's it coming to

God knows as your dog knows

God blessed all of you

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

Nothing more to do

Living just for dying

Dying just for you

[Ady]

God knows as your dog knows

It's God knows as your dog nose

Joy Division

[Robinhood3]

Marilyn Manson's "Beautiful People" (Music, not words)always puts me in a better frame of mind>>For me, "Beautiful People" has an intensity that allows me to "relieve the pressure" and refocus on positive things.

Apart from Zeppelin, there's quite a wide variety of music I listen to to get me through tough times and bad/sad moods...a few of which I'll post here:

Well, if I am going through a rough patch or having a horrid day, I actually listen to music which motivates me to get up, quit being sad and buck up! It involves a variety of genres ranging from hard rock to what people refer to as "Doom Metal". It may come across as "angry" or "heavy" but this kind of music makes me feel so much better! If you focus on both the lyrics and riffs, you'll probably see what I mean
