I wanted to do this in catagories, but I don't want to piss off the mods, so all the catagories will go in this thread. I need to expand on my musical selection (not to mention my brother's, since we network our MP3's), but I listen to certain playlists when I'm feeling a certain way, so I need catagories of great songs. I'll give you a few of my "moods", and list titles and artists that you think are the best that fit the catagory. Please nothing before 1980, unless it's super duper awesome, I'm still young yet and rarely listen to the local oldies station.

Catagory #1: When you're feeling heartbroken.

Catagory #2: When you're feeling loving.

Catagory #3: When you're feeling angry.

Catagory #4: When you're feeling anxious.

Feel free to add other catagories ("This is my favorite song to listen to when I'm studying" etc.)

Mediocrity at its most average.

I like to listen to Afrika Bambaataa when I'm needing the toilet.

I listen to "Baby Got Back" when I like big butts and I cannot lie.

Category #1 - PAH! what kind of person listens to music when he's/she's heartbroken? when heartbroken , you should go out, get drunk and get laid, not necessarelly in that order.Kicking some ass and breaking a few beer bottles in a few skulls also helps. Sure, it might not make you feel any better, but hey, at least you know for sure some other people in the world are feeling way worse than you.

Category #2 - PAH! the only thing you should love in this life is your 2x4 and your brass knuckles. if you're a pirate, you're allowed to love your sword, your rum, and your eyepatch. Sure, you might feel fascinated by someone you think is your soul mate. But when the chips are down, when you're facing 3 ugly fuckers in a dark alley, and they are about to rip your intestines and hang you whit them, who would you rather have with you? your soul-mate? Or big stick with a nail in it?

Category #3 - If you know anything about the world you're born into, this should be your basic and only state in life.So basically any song fits.

Category #4 - The only time you should feel anxious is when you're about to try for the "Pirate Test". In that case, to ease the tension, you should curse the sky blue and launch into the 35 minute epic "A Pirate's staff has a knob on the end" or the old favorite "hhhhhhArrrrrrrrrr! More rum, barkeeper, ya scallywag""

There was once a man who said:"nothing is true!". Although later it was found out that he was lying.

Catagory #1: When you're feeling heartbroken ~~ Anything labeled as Country music.

Catagory #2: When you're feeling loving ~~ I prefer stuff like the Dave Matthews Band and John Mayer.

Catagory #3: When you're feeling angry ~~ Bands like Metallica and Godsmack are great for when you're angry. Linkin Park is all right, but they're a little too Emo-ish sometimes. Flogging Molly's more political songs are great to listen to when you're angry.

Catagory #4: When you're feeling anxious ~~ Matchbox 20 and Elton John, as far as mainstream artists go; Fighting Gravity for the lesser known bands.

It was such a waste of everyone’s time and money that even the Tokyo stadium’s rape robots apologized– something they were programmed specifically never to do.

I deny that I do this.

---

anything by rage against the machine is good when your pissed. especially "freedom".

mason jennings is good when you need to relax. especially "cash machines"

and peter paul and mary's "puff the magic dragon", though pre-80s, always makes me very sad, so it's probably good to listen to when you need a day off work so have to convince your boss that your grandma was just killed by a falling anvil

My boss stopped believing me after the fifth time.

Catagory #1: When you're feeling heartbroken. Tom Waits. Anything by him. That's usually because if I'm feeling heartbroken, there's probably a bit of the drinking involved.

Catagory #2: When you're feeling loving. "There she goes" by the La's. It played in my head when I first saw my wife. No shit.

Catagory #3: When you're feeling angry. The Clash. Clash City rockers. Those guys rock. It keeps me angry but somehow is positive too.

Catagory #4: When you're feeling anxious. Fountains of Wayne. They put me in a great mood and at least temporarily get me out of my anxiousness. Let's see, to just say one song, how about "Survival Car"?

Category #5: When you're going out. I listen to some Frank Sinatra before I hit the road. "That's life"

#5 Best Songs when You're Feeling up George Bush's Daughters: "Secret Agent Man"

peddling the funny around since 09/24/2002

heartbroken: anything by Sarah McLachlan. David Usher is pretty good too. As for a specific song, Kasey Chambers - Not Pretty Enough

loving: Dixie Chicks - Cowboy Take Me Away

angry: Static X - Push It, anything by Billy Talent or Alexisonfire, Transplants help too.

anxious: Thirteen Senses - Into the Fire

---
Okay, Lindsay, are you forgetting that I was a professional twice over - an analyst and a therapist. The world's first analrapist.

heartbroken: Haven't been "heartbroke" in a while, but when I was, The Cure's Disintegration fit the bill quite nicely.

loving: Haven't done any lovin' in a while--ha, just kidding. Try Divinyl's "I Touch Myself," King Crimson's "Walking on Air," Lyle Lovett's "North Dakota," and ***pre-80s warning*** Marvin Gaye's "I Want You."

angry: Hard Rock or Heavy Metal should help here, but try Elvis Costello's This Year's Model. It's angry and catchy! It's from 1979, I think, but don't sweat it.

anxious: "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" from Monty Python's Life of Bryan soundtrack should ease that anxiety. That's '79 again, I believe, so I might as well suggest Smashing Pumpkin's "1979" which, ironically, is from the mid-90s. Dwight Yoakam's "Thousand Miles from Nowhere" always chills me out.
