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?

Chris REA ... Auberge or Dancing Down a Stoney Road
Lyle LOVETT...Pontiac
Pink FLOYD...Dark Side of the Moon
Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen...Hot Licks Cold Steel and Truckers Favourites
All of the above will help to put a positive spin on a negative day....(for myself anyway)

Nothing like Joy Division to cheer one up. You feel better cuz here's someone proving that he's worse off than you. Can't stand cheerful music when feeling down, yuck!

Also someone mentioned Nick Cave "The Boatman's Call", it's one I use too.

I just can't believe noone has mentioned (unles I missed it, then I apologize)....

Frank Zappa: Sheik Yerbouti

His satire of the LA scene (though a bit childish at times) can always provoke a smile. How he got all those talented guitarists to play this stuff for him, I'll never know.
