In case of stress, break glass!

[elrod-tom]

OK, some of us at work were thinking about this one the other day.

Is there an album that you find is particularly appropriate when you are feeling stressed out?

Where I work, we have deadlines. People get REALLY wound up sometimes, especially when you're trying to fix something that refuses to be fixed. STRESS!!!!!!

My choice for "In case of stress, break glass" is the Bob Marley box set, "Songs of Freedom". Just winds me right down every time.

Well, mon...whatca got to say??

only one that works to relax me is Maxwell - Embrya.

the whole cd is pure smoothness.

when i'm stressed though i usually listen to something upbeat to make me happy then i forget about the stress.

there is more than one way to skin the stress cat.

My favorite methods:

Melt Banana - Speak Squeak Creak
At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command

It's so relieving after a long day of b.s.

i'm usually very good about that.

should be "there is more than one way to skin the stress cat"

Judas priest always does it for me.

Oddly, Beck's Odelay gets me in a relaxed mood. Maybe it's the atmosphere of it

Well, it doesn't exactly calm me down but when I've had a particularly crappy day I love to blast "The End of Silence" by Rollins Band.

Michael Franti and Spearhead - Stay Human
This calms me right down.

Marvin Gaye - What's Going On

Anything by Lemon Jelly.

Jamiroquai normally de-stresses me.
