Songs of Love and Hate - Leonard Cohen

Though, after listening to it, I'm much more depressed than before, I simply love the desperate and melancholic atmosphere of this album when I'm feeling blue.

Scott Weiland - Paralysis

Scott Weiland - Pictures and Computers

Both off of Happy in Galoshes

Both of those tunes have pretty much been my personal soundtrack of late. Not just lyrically but the melodies as well.

"Everything By.." means Everything by.

You can comprehend that, right?

Supreme Cleintele - Ghostface Killah

N*gga Please - ODB

It's the most underrated album ever in my opinion. I like the non edited version of Semi-Charmed Life, which is what this album and band are most known for, but listen to the second half of this album. Songs like Motorcycle Drive Bye, The Background, and God Of Wine are some of the best songs written and performed.

On topic. I listen to Alice In Chains Jar Of Flies when I'm down, or Type O Negative's World Coming Down.

Radiohead - Ok Computer

Alice - Jar of Flies

[AbominableHoman]

This song, a long with a six-pac and some vicodin can temporarily fix all kinds of depression.

True, i listen to anything i can when happy, sad or anything else.

Listening to anything by the beach boys would more than likely send me over the edge if i was depressed.

+1

In the US they get labeled as a "One Hit Wonder" cause of Lovefool; But if people take the time to listen to the whole album, they'll realize the whole thing is pretty damn good.

In fact, Lovefool is probaly the weakest track on the album.

[Powerage5]

Love It To Death - Alice Cooper

Tommy - The Who

I Against I - Bad Brains

Sticky Fingers - The Rolling Stones

Walk Among Us - The Misfits

Raw Power - The Stooges

Maybe a couple others I'm forgetting...
