what music do you find comforting?

R.E.M, especially Murmur, that makes me happy. Joni Mitchell's Blue is great if you are going through a break up, and bands like the breeders are good if you are angry at someone.
Out of all sonic youth's album's i think A Thousand Leaves and Murray Street are the only ones i could describe as comforting.

what about you guys?

Comfort music. Like comfort food. Hmm... Stones. Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main Street. Sometimes a good jazz album, like The Inflated Tear or Kind of Blue. Also Big Star's 3rd.

Jazz is good.
Predictable music.

If I just want to switch off or I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself, the Go-Betweens' 16 Lovers Lane always does the trick.

Tim Buckley - Happy sad / Peel sessions / Dream letter live in London 1968 / Blue afternoon / Live at the Troubadour

He has the most comforting and moving voice ever.

Sometimes Jeff Buckley's Grace comforts me too, but other times I find it depressing.

Other records:

Leonard Cohen - Greatest hits
Laura Veirs - Year of meteors
Marvin Gaye - What's going on
Neil Young - Rust never sleeps / Comes a time
Smashing Pumpkins - Adore
Tindersticks - Curtains
Television - Marquee moon

Ohhh... Grant Lee Buffalo is another one.

One of the best bands of the 90's, bar-none.

Sometimes it's not so much the album itself but the good memories associated with it. Goo, for example, takes me back to a happy time, as does a bunch of stuff from around 89-92.

Other times it's the warmth of the familiar, albums I know forwards and backwards: VU & Nico, the White Album, any Stones, Dylan.

Contenders for mellow and soothing include Loveless, The Byrds, early Coltrane and Miles Davis.

Not sure what category this fits, but it always makes me happy: Love's Forever Changes.

Sleater-Kinney (Dig Me Out) was all i listened to when Elliott Smith died in 2003. And The Hot Rock got me through being upset about not being able to afford to go to the university i wanted to go to.
