Songs that can alter your mood (2 Viewers)

[Carlow Punks!]

Barring one or two of the overused ones like "The Boys are Back in Town", I'd have to say almost the entire Thin Lizzy oeuvre.

Never fails. Never. Your forced to mentally don those leather pants and rock the fuck out.

 

[Vinnie]

Swimming song – Loudon Wainwright III

I cant not be in a good mood when I hear The Swimming Song. Although I'm not willing to put that statement to any sort of extreme tests

Easy Lover - Phil Collins: Always gets me in a good mood

Strange. If I'm in poor form and I randomly hear it, instantly I will smile.

That's what I meant. I just articulated myself very badly. I absolutely fucking love that song.

Brilliant song. Any song that can make me change mood that quick is priceless. On the flip side, I will actually leave places if Neil Young is playing. I even vomited once.

 

[Mormon Nailer]

Any song by them will make me throw things at the radio/stereo.

Even the theme tune to Malcom or Anna Ng (how can you not like Anna Ng)

All TMBG records should be burned. There I have said it. Same with RHCP.

 

[Squiggle]

All U2 records should be burned. There I have said it. Same with RHCP.

Fixed that.

what about Crash Test Dummies?

I think TMBG rock.

Anthony / anyone - is the new album with bonus disc easy to get?

I feel the same way about Elliott Smith.

Anything by Stress leaves me feeling like the luckiest most important guy that ever walked the face of this planet. It's like we are all on a huge beanbag with mugs of hot chocolate and marshmallows and Stress are whispering in my ear that everything is gonna be okay and I believe them and I cry and then they start crying and me and Johnnystress look at each other and that single glance captures a universal infinite hope that spreads across the world in a nano second and suddenly the world is a better place. That's how I feel when I listen to Stress.

 

[pissypants]

aphex twin - fingerbib
Starship - we built this city on rock and roll
Marvin Gaye - I heard it through the grapevine
Radiohead - Airbag
Jimmy Ruffin - What becomes of the broken hearted
Boards of Canada - Energy warning
Tom Robinson - Too good to be true
DJ Shadow - High noon
Bowie - Life on Mars
Talking Heads - Once in a lifetime

whenever I hear any of the above, especially enexpectedly, my brain gets tilted in funny directions
