Music for "Tough Times"

1)To make me feel better: Louis Armstrong Wonderful World
or Jimmy Cliff I can see clearly now.
2)To take me from feeling blue to feeling blue and nostalgic: Duke Ellington, Autumn Leaves
3)To take me from feeling blue to feeling blue but defiant:
Bob Marley Redemption Song.
3)To take me from feeling blue to wallowing naked in my grief: Barber's adagio for strings or Suicide is painless.
4)To take me from blue to just damn angry: most Nirvana songs.

I go for Abbey Road. Vinyl of course. Takes me back to some happy times.

"Whipping Post" by the Allman Brothers Band. Title says it all.

Spike Jones

Forgive me for responding before Kat; but I would like to second her recommendation. (See my previous post above). There are times when the musical antics of Spike Jones or Peter Schikele are just the ticket to get me out of a funk. We music lovers/audiophiles are very passionate and serious about our music; let's not forget about the importance of a little humor. Cheers.
