I have a few definite go-to sounds for every mood (or for whatever mood I want to achieve).

If I'm really down I'll listen to the Carpenters because Karen really gets me (despite the fact that she passed away a few years before I was even born). Or if I'm down and angry as hell, I'll listen to the Dresden Dolls. If I'm just sort of pessimistic and lonely, Alan Parsons Project will do.

If I'm tired but comfortable and I need to be happier for whatever reason, I enjoy a good shuffle of 60s girl groups (including, but not limited to: the Shangri-Las, the Ronettes, the Crystals, the Cookies, the Jelly Beans, etc.).

If I've just been in a terrible mood all day, I've got to listen to Sparks.

If I'm super chill, I've gotta have some Steely Dan.

If it's summer time and I'm drunk or otherwise not in a proper state of mind, I've gotta have some 60s psych rock (Strawberry Alarm Clock, Chocolate Watch Band, Electric Prunes, 13th Floor Elevators, Jefferson Airplane, etc.).

I've got something for everything. I think a lot of people do.
