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?

The 3rd movement of Beethoven's 9th Symphony. I like the defiance in the trumpet blasts after the initial sad music !

I think "the Flower duet" by Leo Delibes is the most beautiful thing ever written for the female voice. I cannot hear it often enough. If this doesn't take you closer to heaven than you've ever been, then you must be wandering the world in chains with Jacob Marley.
