Music for "Tough Times"

When you're feeling lousy, or maybe just had a tough day, what one LP, CD, tape, etc. do you play to make you feel better? In my case it's Cowboy Junkies CD "The Caution Horses". Margo Timmins voice is at once soft and soothing, but also haunting and immediate. This is music that I can get lost in. What music do others use on occasions like this?

I am among those that favor more laid back, as opposed to upbeat, music during “down moods”. The wallowing results in liberation, I guess. One that might not otherwise be mentioned is the LP “Laid Back” by Gregg Allman, cut just after the passing of brother Duane. Other than the ubiquitous “Midnight Rider” all songs are pretty introspective and very “moody”.

One of the best mood albums has to be Sigur Ros' "(_)". For those of you who dont know them, theyre a group from Iceland who play some very emotional and relaxing music and its a decent recording too. Highly recommended!

Great thread, and great responses!!! This thread's been going for 2 years!!! Sreno, I was wondering when someone would mention Tom! Besides the ones already mentioned (I listen to many of them myself), I'd like to add Peter Gabriel, old David Bowie, Tori Amos, Portishead and Radiohead.
