I need help with my music life

[Rahil Kamat]

Can you recommend few good songs which are soothing to listen to ?

even instrumentals will do

while we are at it which is your fav band ?

[somebody]

well, if you want soothing then go for cool jazz. the one song that i think definately think is soothing for me is Teardrop by Massive Attack. You may know this song so go ahead and try it out. Hey Oh (snow) by Red Hot Chili Pepper is anothing one that chills me out.

 

as for my fav band. 1. Foo Fighters 2. Red Hot Chili Pepper 3. System of Down

[InfiniteNow]

Listen to waves.

 

Listen to the "Soundscapes" channel on digital cable/satellite. That's my "it's sleepy time" music.

Enya is fantastic. She has an amazing voice, and most all of her songs are peaceful and relaxing.

[Lancaster]

Godspeed You! Black Emperor: 20 minute long climactic orchestral arrangements. (favourite).

 

A Silver Mt. Zion: Side project of Godspeed.

 

Sigur Ros: Icelandic band has an incredibly unique sound. Very soothing at times.

 

Biosphere: if you want to consider music for sleep, this Norwegian electronic artist is great.

[Tormod]

Lesley Garrett's Prima Donna should cover you fine.

[Monomer]

Try Bono's Million Dollar Hotel soundtrack, and also the Swoon Collection which is a nice assortment of classical music.

[Buffy]

Anything by Kaki King.

 

Arpeggiated,

My favourite band is Greenday but I guess rock wouldn't soothe you!!:D So I'm guessin you should listen to some of the songs from Broadway...OLD Broadway! It's the best. Also listen to some jazz bands like Speakin' Out. They're great to listen to. Slow and peaceful. That's all I recomend. Especially songs from Broadway. I always listen to that to cool down after I have a disagreeing quarrel with my mom and dad.

 

Don't mind about me. I'm only 10 ya know!

[chill]

Bossa nova is an incredibly soothing genre of music in my opinion. Listen to Lisa Ono's bossa nova vol2 collection.

I find some voices have really soothing qualities. Listen to Rachael Yamagata and Corrine Bailey Rae.

Trip-hop is soothing, sort of hypnotizing. Thievery Corporation and DJ Krush are good.

For instrumental, there's Claude Debussy (classical) and Joe Hisaishi. Good stuff.

Does Billy Joel count?

[Edella]

name some good pop music

If by "pop" you mean popular, I think The Beatles certainly qualify.
