What band has helped you through some tough times?

[PrimusNut]

For me, I'd say it would be Danzig. A few months back I was having some minor alcohol problems, weed problems, and girl problems, and a lot of depression, and I found that listening to some Danzig seemed to calm me down and help me think clearly.

So what band has helped you through some tough times in your life?

Don't credit the "Devil" music for helping you out, praise the Devil.

[MakiSupaStar]

Pink Floyd.
Grateful Dead.
Phish.
Bob Marley and the Wailers
Gregory Isaacs

Pain of Salvation and Modest Mouse.

And "Space Dye Vest" performed by Dream Theater (the song is a Kevin Moore song in its entirety, IMO)

[OtterOnBass]

Jars of Clay has some super mellowing stuff - especially the "who we are instead" release.

One song makes me mellow just thinking of it. "It's just enough to be strong, at the broken places, at the broken places..."

[whoneedstherapy]

Soundgarden and ironically enough Suicidal Tendencies

A recently found good one: Grateful Dead - Box of Rain

This is an upbeat (instrumentally) song that Phil Lesh wrote for his dying father. The lyrics are a cross between the sadness and acceptance of this tragic event in life.

I like Blood and Tears by Danzig. Definatly doesn't cheer me up, but it does something.

[Basshappi]

King's X - Dogman

[charliet]

Modest Mouse
The Smashing Pumpkins
Glassjaw
Stone Temple Pilots

I've found the Kinks' Something Else album to be very medicinal

Brant Bjork and the Bros. So damn cool and chilled it calms me down whatever has got me wound up.
