Is there a certain album that you own that just makes you feel a hell of a lot better? For me, it's Cinderella's "Still Climbing" album. It's about life in general, about how it sucks, but you gotta make it work for yourself. The whole album's like that. My favorite line is in the song "All Comes Down":
Now the rain's pissing down and a storm is in sight,
When the shit hits the fan, you've gotta stick to the fight
So, what album just "does it" for you?
Static and Silence / The Sundays
particularly Folk Song, When I'm thinking about you and Monochrome.
I am also really enjoying Retrospective: The Best of Suzanne Vega
particularly Caramel, Small Blue Thing and Rosemary.
oh yes....
Philip Glass. ( New Age Music) I am not allowed to listen to him in the house--my wife is not a fan. His album "Songs from Liquid Days" from 1985 transports me to another time and place. Most of his older recordings are difficult to come by. His music is definately mood altering.
His cassete tapes of Mishima, 1000 Aeroplanes on the roof, and The Photographer, I listened to until I wore them out. Unfortunately I cannot replace them.
Most Phil Collins stuff -- but especially both sides of the story
Abbey Road, by the Beatles
Expecially side 2. Its the best farewell concert any band ever gave.
"...and in The End, the love you take is equal to the love you make."
Out of Time by REM...never fails to pick me up....
I Get Wet by Andrew WK...Pumps me up...Howard Dean would like this guy.
Shepherd Moons by Enya...Yeah, Enya. I guess that makes me a suburban twit at heart.
Music by the Carpenters!
Anything from Cypress Hills makes me feel good, especially their first albums.
I love "whaddya know", it makes me fantasize about someone in Bethel who really ruined my life.
Well, during my interment in the JW religion (as a teen) I used to play Carole King's Tapestry a lot ... and sometimes to help gain courage to face another day I would crank up "Beautiful As You Feel"....
I now have the CD and play it in the car or wherever....
Also Sheryl Crow's Tuesday Night Music Club, anything by Django Reinhardt or Edith Piaf (close my eyes, I'm in Paris)...tons of R&B (EWF, Spinners, Parliament), lots of alternative, Pink, Beyonce, Stevie Wonder, Motown, Patsy Cline, Miles Davis, Smash Mouth, TOM PETTY (YEAH)
well on and on and on and on.................................
