Relax...

Which songs/albums do you play when you want to relax?

For me, it would have to be the Final Fantasy Pray album, the two Final Fantasy Love Will Grow compilations, the Riverdance soundtrack and the three Lord Of The Rings original soundtracks.

And yourself?

Jump Around - House Of Pain

Final Fantasy music always helps me to relax. That and a few of the stations at www.live365.com. There's one called "Morning Music Chillout" (or something like that) in the Dance section that plays all relaxing music. And of course the smooth jazz section is very relaxing as well.

It's very various. It depends one the mood. But here are some anyway:

- Final Fantasy music.
- Janet Jackson - The Velvet Rope
- Dido - No Angel
- Dido - Life For Rent
- Alicia Keys - The Diary Of Alicia Keys

And many more...

Silber - Silber
Subway to Sally - Bannkreis
In Extremo - 7
Oomph! - Ego
Megaherz - Herzwerk II
and
Kovenant - S.E.T.I

love songs help me chill, not like Barry White, but radio love songs. And slow songs like most of Staind's second Album.

Lamb - Gabriel
Portishead - Glory Box, Roads
The Whitlams - No Aphrodesiac, The Lights Are Back On, Buy Now Pay Later, Her Floor is My Ceiling

Anything that isn't angry angst teen music relaxes me. Classical, anime (depending on which), country, jazz...

Symphony X Accolade
Symphony X Church of the Machine.

Any kind of song with a slow but not too slow tempo to it.

If it's something by Soul Asylum, The Get Up Kids, or Toad The Wet Sprocket, it'll help me relax.

Dido's "Life for Rent" album, or my FFVIII OST. Slow/instrumental music is generally relaxing.

"Far Away" By Ayumi Hamasaki
"Unforgiven" By Metallica
...or any piece of Classical or Electronica.

I can relax to almost any type of music, yes including heavy metal. Music calms me down because it takes away the tension and stress from the world for a moment.

I can relax even listening to System of a Down. Usually though, Ozzy Osbourne(with Randy Rhoads) or Iron Maiden.

Metal is the most calming music in my opinion.

The Smashing Pumpkins-Adore

LP thats really all I listen too no matter what I'm doing.

- Lifehouse: No Name Face and Stanley Climbfall
- John Mayer: Room For Squares

I don't relax, so the best I can get is numbingly comatose music.

Jimmy Eat World - Clarity works well, with some songs anyway.

Goodbye Sky Harbor (16:14), with the fact that it goes on forever and just sounds wonderful is perfect sometimes.

Give the man a hand.

AFI - Sing The Sorrow

As others have said, listening to music in general helps me calm down, but of late, I've been exclusively listening to the "Return Of The King" soundtrack. I have to listen to the entire album, no matter when I put it in, because it sends me back to that wondrous movie and the world of Middle-Earth itself.

Take care all.

I play anything that seems to match my mood, anything that puts what I feel into words. Like now. :/ I am listening to a love song, it's making me dream you could say.

I listen to all types of music.

Kpop Music

AFI

Something Corperate.

New Found glory.

ya know...alternative...korean music.........whatever........except country.........cant stand it..and dont know why that is. I did like the dixie chicks but..ya know...meh

Depends, to simply 'chill out', anything except Thursday, At The Drive-In and Funeral for a Friend will do. To calm down if I'm stressed, it's rather antitethical, as those three are the best. Get so hyped up, jump around screaming and yelling for half an hour, and I'm simply too tired to be angry or depressed.

For chilling though, DDR music usually does it, or FFVIII stuff. Some female artists like Sarah McLaclan and Michelle Branch work well, too.

When I want to relax I just lay on my bed, watch my lava lamp and listen to the following albums:

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Pink Floyd - Meddle
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Led Zeppelin - II
Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
The Beatles - SPLHCB

(Pot optional)

Feeder - Piece by Piece and most stuff by bright eyes.

Also, Aqualung -Strange and beautiful. The album is e but that one song is beautiful.

So many ...

But this one I adore: Coldfinger- Cover Sleeve

Counting Crows
Chrono Cross soundtrack
.hack//SIGN soundtrack
Heather Nova
Him
The Cure
The Beatles

That's about it. :)
