Uplifting Songs
 

What are those songs which, whenever you hear them, all the problems in your life seem to just slip away (if only for three minutes)?

Nirvana - I Hate Myself and Want to Die
Rage Against the Machine - Bullet in the Head
Marilyn Manson - Suicide is Painless
Tori Amos - Me and a Gun
Bloodhound Gang - Lift Your Head Up High and Blow Your Brains Out
That Otep song where she screams for 15 minutes about being raped and how it tore up her vagina and she goes "IT'S INSIDE! MY FLOWER IS BLOODY!" and then at the end she talks about how she, y'know, kinda enjoyed the rape
That SlipKnot song "Scissors" where it's about 10 minutes of him screaming about dissecting a girl and then there's about 10 minutes of the band watching scat porn and then it goes into "Eyeore" which has the great lyrics "FUCK YOU FUYCK YOU YOU'RE FUCKING STUPID FUCK YOU FUCK YOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUU I DON'T NEED YOU ANYMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOREEEEEEEEEEEE"
any Joy Division song

twilight showdown by The starlight mints.

Aw, you no fun!

At the moment I am listening to Pink Reason all the time and I find the way he signed off the song ''Goodbye'' to be both sad and uplifting at the same time.

Colourbox - Colourbox World Cup Theme
Motorhead - Ace of Spades
Beastie Boys - Body Movin'

Hungry Heart - Brooce at his Broociest

lou reed - a gift
black flag - six pack/tv party

Good choice, Elvis FTW.

The entire George Best album by The Wedding Present.
The Clean - Tally Ho, Anything Could Happen, Billy Two, Thumbs Off, Beatnik, Getting Older, Odditty
The Verlaines - Pyromaniac
Bailterspace - Retro, Splat
Ed Kuepper - At Times So Emotional, Nothing Changes In My House, Car Headlights, Black Ticket Day, Everything I've Got Belongs To You
The Saints - (I'm) Stranded, Messin' With The Kid, Lost And Found, Know Your Product, Just Like Fire Would
Laughing Clowns - Eternally Yours
The Cure - In Between Days

This would be my personal Abba choice, but it's all gravy.

This 'un would be my this-year choice.

For those ridiculous rock thrills; One of last year's nominees... listen to the production closely on the plosive consonants, I was amazed when I noticed.

I found this song earlier this year, it's amazing.
