I can never hear this at work without wanting to break something.......Working Class Hero by Green Day Can not listen to this song without wanting to walk away from it....Brother In Arms by Dire Straits. The imaging of this song is just too dark.....The Grave by Don McLain What type or which songs change your mood? (Mehhh....my forefathers are wondering where my Spartan stoicism went.  ) P.S. If you don't have them, I wish I can give you the mp3 but rather not. Just search for it and you will find them. |

I guess if music changes my mood it would have to be when I hear rap or pop music come on the radio ... I'll either change the station or simply turn it off. I don't understand rap and even Dis Jr dislikes pop.
However, bands like AC/DC or Metalica can affect an entire group. During our route marches in the military sometimes we used to have AC/DC blaring from one of the safety vehicles and it kept the guys kind of pumped, aggressive, etc. Took our minds off the fact we had 20 km to hump. That didn't always happen though. Depended on who was calling the shots.
On the flipside, if I'm in a certain mood for certain music, I'll put it on. We have just about everything from Beethoven to heavy rock and it has to be good C/W to make into the house. Justin Timberlake and a lot of contemporary alternative stuff as well; any classic rock, Candy Dulfer, Alan Parsons, The Hip, all make it into the collection.
Our Christmas CD is from "Charlie Brown's Christmas." No Dean Martin or Bing Crosby though.
Cheers.

Just about anything raunch and rollish can lift me . . . a handful of songs in particular:
Mama Let Him Play [Jerry Doucette]
Rock and Roll [Led Zeppelin]
See the Light [Jeff Healey]
Tie Your Mother Down [Queen]
Bohemian Like You [Daddy Warhols]
Jump Into the Fire [Harry Nilsson]
[you get the picture]
in another vein . . .
I Love You #19 [Daniel Amos]
Let the Tape Keep Rolling [Larry Norman]
. . . and there ain't nothing like the blues to calm a manic heart . . . or, depending on the song, to bring me back to life.
Wanna make me want to puke? Anything country.
And once you get past the traditional Christmas hymns [some of them done poorly but hey, it makes a buck] a lot of the stuff today is pretty meloncholy [Charlie Brown -- often on in my place, Sarah McLachlan, and my wife keeps playing Loreena McKennitt, which can also become wearisome].

How about some classics. These two are very powerful triggers for me: "Sunshine of your love" Cream "Rock and roll fantasy" Bad Company "Back Jack (do it again)" Steely Dan "Driver's Seat" Sniff 'N the Tears Countless other triggers as well. Anything by the band, Focus. Cheers. |

Dis....have you ever seen this clip? This version is way faster than the studio version. Thijs Van Leer is quite amazing. Yodel, whistle....and a real showman. Jan Akkerman shreds effortlessly on guitar. |

I don't know about mood, but there are songs I can't listen to and drive/ride. Just about anything by Iron Maiden and I'm instantly 30% over the posted limit lol.

I have certain bands I like to listen too when I'm driving, but really any thing upbeat helps. Except when I'm stressed out over traffic I put on some more relaxing music to chill me out.

Jan Akkerman shreds effortlessly on guitar. Their signature song "Hocus Pocus" is what the band is most noted for, which was too bad because they had a number of other good songs as well. Their greatest hits album was called, "Dutch Masters."  From the left going right; Jan Akkerman, Thijs van Leer, Pierre van der Linden and Bert Ruiter. The group I hung around with knew this version of the band. Cheers. |

Jan Akkerman shreds effortlessly on guitar. Love the deep and meaningful lyrics . . . ;D Actually, really enjoy the simplicity of the drum set. No need for 42 different sized toms . . . |

Don't say that to Terry Bozzio.   Dude's got 42 foot pedals! What a fantastic drummer. Anybody who's good enough to play in Zappa's band....wow.....he's a master. I'll post some of his clips in the "Sipping on a Rye" thread.... |

No doubt that greatness is greatness, and talent is talent . . . but sometimes I just like simple.  |

Fancy parradiddles, flamaques and varied stroke rolls aside, a straight deep pocket groove is where the magic's at. Kick, hat, snare.
As for the original question, to me, music is a completely emotional experience for better or for worse. Change my mood? Hell ya. Music can evoke my memories more profoundly than any other triggers, olfactory included.

CV is completely right though; music is a completely emotional experience. Some music will bring me right back to 'that moment in time.' Cheers. |

How's that for a trigger! A buddy of mine reminded Mrs Dis of what we did during our high school days. "In the basement of his parents' house, eating chips and drinking pop ... while listening to Beethoven." Cheers. |
