Question of the day: Saturday June 1

I've been cheering myself up, listening to music that makes me happy...

I have music to get me going.. (Jo Cocker works wonders)....  Music to relax (usually gentle instrumental) and music to stir the soul (Mozart's Requiem does it every time).

So today's question is all about what music does for you:

What music relaxes you and what helps to get you going?

         

The only music that I really enjoy listening to a classic rock. With a little bit of Etta James to keep it interesting. I love to listen to her "I Just Want to Make Love to You" and "At Last".

When I'm really feeling mellow, I still listen to Gordon Lightfoot. We have his Gold CD and I love it.

When I'm cleaning house, it's usually some kind of rock.

On my way into work, I listen to my iPod in my car. That has Aerosmith, Deep Purple, Dire Straits, AC/DC, Bowie, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Styx, Jace Everett (he sang the theme song to True Blood....I love that song! I don't know why, but I love that song), Jefferson Starship, Eric Clapton, Santana, Jethro Tull, Judas Priest, Foghat, etc. And I have it loud. I walk to my iPod, too, only I don't have it that loud with the earbuds in my ears.

On my way home from work, I don't listen to music that much. At that point, I think I just want some quiet time to deal with the traffic.

Bob Seger and Tina Turner for exercising!

Barry White relaxes me and the 70'-80's walking with my headset.

Bach and Beethoven for relaxing, Ultravox, Devo and B52s to get me going.

Anything Classical to calm me down and help get rid of headaches to and any dance/trance to get me really going

While doing the dishes Jennifer Lopez' song, On the Floor came on the radio. I was doing the dishes at the time and boy did I get moving. 

Regina Spektor, Tori Amos and spa music relaxes me.

Born This Way by Lady Gaga always energizes me.

When I am relaxing I'm usually listening to the cure, pixies, or something similar.
I like drum and bass sets or dub step at the gym to get me moving and punk music to hype me up.
