Need a happy song to jump around to? Friday I'm in love works just fine.

Want to jazz things up? Put on The Lovecats.

Sad? Take your pick. Robert is the king of sad and depressed songs.

I hear the way he sings, and it sounds like he's pouring in tons of emotion.
Good explanation. And you're spot on with Fascination Street. What a fantastic song. Disintegration is a masterwork.

If I'm really depressed, Faith has always been my favorite.
