Music for "Tough Times"

By the way, Thebeave250, thanks for the Sigur Ros' recommendation! I sampled it online, and ordered it. Have you ever listened to Mercury Rev... in fact, "Deserter's Song" is another great choice for this list.

First off it has to be a LP. And when I want chills all over my arms I crank up Aerosmith - Get your wings

Check these out:

Great threat, glad to know some of us are on the same boat in this sometimes stormy and churning sea of human emotions. I think he's been mentioned, but I would second Louis Armstrong's recordings. He sings and plays with such honesty, trength, and humor that many today (in the jazz genre) are easily put to shame in comparison. Listening to his records have never failed to put a smile on my face. To take a que from the man himself, sometimes, it's best to just blow rasperies at your troubles.

Beck Sea Change, if you've just got divorced, broken up, dumped, girlfriend/boyfriend died, anything of that sort this album can help,
