music for when you are stressed out

[CHasR]

ahh....none o that hits the vein like:

Viol consorts (Lawes, Purcell, Holborne,) &
Music for solo Viol of St Colombe (le fils et le pere) & Marain Marais
(hint: Get the Jordi Savall 2CD set!)

[Joseph E. Smith]

Nine Inch Nails.

Failing that, Classical music, usually Glen Gould's recordings of J. S. Bach's Preludes and Fugues (books 1 and 2) from the Well Tempered Clavier (thanks again djm ).

I listen to the Blind Boys of Alabama when I am stressed or depressed. I also listen to Pink Floyd and Crosby, Still, and Nash, and sometimes Young. Irish music is always good too. I hope you get better pal.

[Congratulations]

Screamo.

When I'm really stressed, which seems to happen almost everyday here lately, I must PLAY music, not listen. I find that playing piano helps more than anything. As someone else said, the concentration required does not leave room in the old head for anything else.

If I can't play then for stress relief, it must be classical, preferably baroque.
