Albums/Songs to Listen to When You Are Depressed

[Der Einzige]

Solitude by Candlemass

*internet hi-five*

Have you listened to Solitude Aeturnus? They're another great doom metal band.
They also have Robert Lowe singing. (Granted the version I linked has Messiah Johan Längqvist singing IIRC)

Candlemass is good, in addition to Solitude, I also enjoy Bells of Acheron. 

For purposes of the thread, I tend to listen to Nightwish.   

Nightwish-Amaranth

Reminds me of this:

Listen to Pink Floyd- The Final Cut
Post War Dream

This.

 

[Swordmaster]

Candlemass is ancient, but still they have some good songs. I mostly listen to anything from Anathema or Jeff Buckley when I'm in a bad mood. Though not always those two, but most of the time.

隐藏: Anathema

Temporary Peace I began listening to this after some events that happened in my life. It sort of brings what is dubbed to the song a bit.
Inner Silence. Boy, that and One Last Goodbye pierced me through.
One Last Goodbye - I suggest you listen this song, then Parisienne Moonlight, then Judgement. They make a very good combination.
Pitiless
Lost Control
Those are from their older stuff. But they still can make and rearrange good pieces. Such as;
A Simple Mistake - This song is their best from their new album.
Crestfallen
Sunset of Age- Probably those two are of their best arrangement for their older stuff.

隐藏: Jeff Buckley

I like Jeff Buckley's songs not only they have good melodies, but more that they include good lyrics and also the vocals.

Dido's Lament - An aria by Henri Purcell.
Grace
Lover You Should've Come Over - Especially for lyrics.
Dream Brother
Mojo Pin -  This live version is the best imo.

Almost forgot, Time never gets old for some situations.

[ancalimon]

My Dying Bride - A Kiss To Remember (album)

anything Anathema

 

[Pharaoh Llandy]

I don't get depressed. But when I was an emo teenager (all teenagers are emo at some point, although when I was a teenager, the term "emo" didn't exist) I used to listen to the Sex Pistols to cheer me up. And sometimes Steve Harley & The Cockney Rebel. Because there's nothing as good for cheering you up as a few cheesy glam-prog-pop songs. Referring not to the Sex Pistols, of course.

 

[Average Joe peasant]

As in, songs listened to to cheer me up when depressed/bugged/stressed?


I kick things off with Achilles' Last Stand. The Pet Sounds stereo mix, Today!, Smiley Smile and Surf's Up by the Beach Boys also enter steady rotation.
