Best music to mellow out to?

[Joe Kersten]

Because I know for the most part this group is pretty diverse, what kind of music do you like to listen to when you're just sipping some coffee or wine and having a smoke? For me it's Frank, you can't beat Frank when it comes to that kind of music. But I'll listen to a bit of "classical" from time to time.

Any artist in particular?

[joaquin]

bob marley and jimmy cliff are at the top, but theres so so many more

[tisJoefoo]

I like Bedouin Soundclash a lot, but others are Bright Eyes, Rocky Votolato, Bob Dylan for acoustic. I like Explosions in the Sky and A Silver Mt. Zion for something different.

mainly classic rock.. Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd, Queen, Rolling Stones, ect. ect.

Yeah nobody can play a ballad like the Stones! But then again the Stones are one of those bands I've loved for as long as I can remember.

when I really wanna mellow out I just throw on my copy of Dark Side of the Moon.

only problem, flipping the damn thing over. I love the sound vinyl gives you, but that gets a little annoying at times.

Yeah I know, I have something like 120 records and there is just this charm to them that modern technology can't duplicate. I have one of the original copies of Some Girls, the one that had Luciel Ball and Mark Spitz on the cover.

Nice... I need to find more record shops near me.

I got lucky, friends of my parents gave me mine when they were cleaning out their garages. The last record store in my town just went under five years ago. Antique stores and thrift stores can have something worth getting once in a while.

leftfield is awsome to chill to. check it. some drum n bass too is good.

[BEERnBRATWURST]

Sometimes I like to chill out to a little Bauhaus....

[Spiralz]

I ritualistically listen to the Sonic Youth album, "Sister", when I feel very chill. I also prefer to listen to eerie music like Bauhaus or 60's rock when I'm kickin' back and drawing or just unwinding.

Whoa that's a strange coincidence, right before my post no doubt:eek:

Im guessing 'burning from the inside'.The earlier ones are abit raw for mellowing out to.Or how about abit of Love and rockets,they are good!

[ChrisJones]

the Slackers or Bob Marley, and stuff Johnny Cash did on American Recordings, amongst other things. I like the smashing pumpkins and nirvana unplugged as well.

I usually throw in Mask.

[LittleJoker]

listen to some fucking shit thats gonna make you chill out like that one band, that shits good to chill out, just chill out

[thebigother]

I don't have any specific music that I listen to when I chill. It's pretty much the same music I always listen to, but not as much hardcore or metal.

[codebluecary]

I pretty much listen to whatever,when ever,But Patsy Kline or Johny Cash,or Hank Sr. is good to listen to!!!

[DeathComesRipping]

Chris Isaak is good mellow music.. Wicked Game is one of the chillest rock albums ever. Dude got huge off that album.

If its a gloomy day..any good post punk - darkwave record will do the trick

but on more chill sunny days.. classic ska would be the way to go

[sickgirl1503]

On a rainy day like today I'm smokin a doob, listenin to Bob and talk to you guys, very mellow day!

[Fukface82]

Undertones, Iggy Pop, The Adverts, Torment, Long Tall Texans, Guana Batz, Old Meteors, tons of stuff

[punknzippy]

i tend to find bands with female singers very chilling as in voice of the bee hive and good old belinda carlisle , and a bit of clapton and oasis are very good as well

[Joe Kersten]

Actually it never really occured to me until the other day, some of the Black Crowes stuff is great if you just want to relax. Mostly their mid to late 90's stuff, Three Snakes and One Charm is a great album.

[Oi Velvet]

Sonic Youth
Pink Floyd
Radiohead
Pixies
Dinosaur Jr

[infestedsinner]

[thehaters714]

Massive Attack does the trick for me.

[Oi_Boot_boy]

house of the rising sun by the animals does the trick for me.

that and some dub, reggae, rocksteady, and traditional ska

[cupcakevonskully]

Black Crowes or bush are perfect

[DanDecay]
