You don't have to call them the Blues, you can call it melancholy, ennui, down in the dumps, a case of the crab ass... whatever. But I know we all get that feeling sometiimes, and not always from specific events... sometimes we get weary and our musical choice reflects that. What do you play so that you can wallow in your misery or bring yourself out of your misery?

When I'm feeling blue I mostly go "old school" 60's slow jams....

1. Delfonics - Thom Bell at his best. "Didn't I blow your mind this time" and others.

2. Stlyistics - Thom Bell again. "People make the world go round." Make up to Break up".

3. Blue Magic - Not Philly but damn close "Sideshow" and too many others to mention.

4. Laura Nyro - Sigh, perfect songs for drankin' . "Gonna Take a Miracle"

5. Carol King - When I want some pop with my pathos. "It's too late baby."

6. Sade - When I truly want to torture myself.

7. Aretha - "Do Right Man". "Never loved a man the way that I loved you".

8. James Taylor - Pick any tune you want. "Swee Baby James" , "Carolina in my mind". Jesus... was this guy ever happy?
