i haven't seen this posted, or at least recently, so i figured i might as well do it. sorry if it has been.

so anyways, post your favorite songs to listen to when you're just in a shit mood, depressed, or you just had an epic fail moment.

mine are:
if i owned a midget by benefit
motorcycle drive by by third eye blind
polar opposites by modest mouse
and turn the radio off by love is all

word on that one man, so happy!!!

and Hey Jude - Beatles  is awesome, I can't help but sing along by the end.

Just Dropped In - Kenny Rogers   is really good to because it reminds me on The Big Lebowski and makes me laugh :P

oh god no. IMO, he's just a whiny bitch.

and none of those are happy songs. they're all about destruction and distrust of the "system"

marvin gaye - let's get it on seriously puts me in the best mood ever. 80's tv show theme songs are pretty good too... like happy days and laverne and shirley.

if we're givin a throw-back like that how about:

CSNY-Everybody I love you
Steppenwolf-Magic Carpet Ride
Respect-Aretha Franklin
Van Morrison-Bright Side of the Road
Grateful Dead-The Music Never Stopped
Eric Clapton-I Feel Free
Anything by Stevie Wonder
Sly & Family Stone-I get High On You





































And just look at this picture of Sly Stone and all sadness with instantly disappear and be replaced by an utter gratefulness that you will never have to dress like that in public:
