[matt88]

Use Your Illusion 2. Especially Breakdown, Locomotive and Estranged

[Skeletor]

Estranged

Nick Cave - Boatman's Call

Chris Cornell - Euphoria Morning

(non-Finns won't know this one, but..) Kerkko Koskinen - Rakkaus viilt??

[Hammy]

Guns N' Roses - Don't Cry, Estranged,
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - You Got Lucky, Don't Come Around Here No More,
Tom Petty - You Don't Know How It Feels
Pantera - Cemetary Gates, This Love

[Izzy]

Estranged and Miss you in a heartbeat if i'm damn near suicidal

But other wise its Pantera's 'Cowboys from Hell ' album at a volume loud enough to cause the speakers to bounce - that usually pulls me through

[slave2thegrind]

Estranged and Don't Cry if I feel real shitty.   If I need to pick myself up tho, usually the Back In Black album or stuff from KISS....and of course AFD

[Dave_Rose]

I try to stay off the down songs I actually listen to Weird Al Yankovic when I'm down it does actually cheer me up.

But when I do I listen to...

GN'R - Estranged
Blink 182 - I Miss You
Avion - 7 Days Without You

and this is usually caused by women trouble what a surprise

[Mattman]

Strangely enough, for me, the mood sets the music, not the other way around.  So if I'm depressed, I always end up putting on depressing music.  Don't ask me why.  So when I'm down in the dumps, I'll listen to stuff like Pornography by The Cure, any Nirvana album, Black Sabbath, Metallica, and so forth.  Sometimes, though, I'll put on a good Motley Crue track or something - some good fist-pumping classic metal - and that'll make me feel, if not better, than at least more pumped up.  I don't know, maybe I'm an emotional masochist.  Or maybe I like knowing that somebody else feels the same way as me.  Whatever.

That said, there are a lot of songs I listen to when I really DO want to feel better.  It's usually some anthemic rock song like "Baba O' Reilly" by The Who, "Unchained" by Van Halen, or "Dammit (Growing Up)" by Blink-182.  If I could recommend one great song to listen to when you want to feel better, try "Push" by The Cure.  The great thing about that song is that to some people it's a happy song, to others it's a sad song.  The emotional ambiguity makes it a great song for whatever mood you're in.

Go Go's... I love this group too death. They always put a smile on my face.

[GnFnR87]

god Estranged is so good for when ur really sad, i remember earlier in the summer when i thought my best friend was gonna start dating this girl i was friends with that i really really liked. He also made it worse by telling me " haha i won" when she walked away for a second, yea i know wut a great friend lol, he apologized about that later. i was so depressed i listened to estranged over and over. lol i know the story doesnt sound very convincing was i was really down that night.

[Mr Cowbell ?]

Alice Cooper's POISON. It's the perfect song for eithe a Stripper to Strut to or about that girl you want as more then a friend

For some weird reason I listen to alot of love songs when Im depressed. They just lift my spirits I guess.

-The Calling - Wherever You Will Go
-Puddle Of Mudd - Blurry
-HIM - Wicked Game
-HIM - The Sacrament
-GNR - 14 Years, Estranged, Breakdown

[RichardNixon]

If your feeling sad because of some girl, listen to "Rip it Out" from Ace Frehley's 1978 solo album.

[Wheres Izzy]

guns cover of human being usually does the trick. Also anything by the ramones.

[SLCPUNK]

[Eeebs]

Music to listen to when you are feeling like utter crap, eh?  Well, when somewhat depressed, I tend to listen to a lot of Tori Amos, Heather Nova, U2, The Cure, and uhhh hate to admit this, but also some J Lo (her latest album).  Thank gawd I am not often in a sad state of mind  

[AxlsMainMan]

jon bon jovi's destination anywhere cd plus cold hard heart

You like that cd? I got it when it came out and it never ever grew on me. I honestly kinda thought it was terrible.

its very subjective

i can understand why people wouldnt like it, its a total 180 from bon jovi music

its a very introspective album, very personal very left of right for jon

i love it cause i can relate to so much of that cd, every song is so personal and a deeper look into jon than what u get on bon jovi records

"starin at your window with a suitcase in my hand" is such an amazing song! that whole cd resonates with me, i love it in the "these days" sort of way, its a very different direction than most bon jovi albums, more mellow i guess
