What music do you listen to keep the black dog away?(Depression)

[Aussiemike]

These were my go to break up songs in the 80s and 90s. Have seen the Angles(aussie band) live and also whenever the DJ would play it ALL the patrons would sing"No way get F,ed F,off" even to this day it happens here in any venue it is played at.
It was a bit like a group vent/therapy and often wondered what was the story of the individuals that were vocialy cleansing themself with the chant. A great stress relief for the crowd I could feel it.

Gorillaz or Seldom Scene always energize me.

Fat Boys was my joint when I was little, RIP Prince Markie Dee and Human Beat Box.

I’m not prone to depression, but I often listen to Rush super loud either on the way to work or on the way home. The albums 2112, A Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres never fail to reach me.

I have the RUSH Chronicles double CD my wife bought me back in 1993 for Christmas. Excellent album set! Funny, Neal actually joined the band the month and year I was born!

There's lots of bands/artists that I go to when the 'ole black dog bites, and that bad daz just came a knockin. I'm a rock'n'roller at heart, paradoxically, I inherited my love of classical music from my intellectual, college professor mother.
So here goes → Beethoven, Billy Squier, Mozart, John Lennon, (selected), Vivaldi, Blue Oyster Cult, Metallica, Haydn, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and the whole lot of the southern rock bands, some bluegrass, some red dirt, manageable bites of U2, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Resurrection Band, Halo, MasteDON, Daniel Amos, Lamb, Dogs of Peace, Edgar Winter Group, Deep Purple, Cars, Electric Light Orchestra, list goes on and on...


As an aside, I reall like when rock is fused with a 40 piece Orchestra, such as the Metallica S and M Album, Three Dog Night Live, 2003 album, etc.

You and I definitely have a lot in common in musical taste my brother in briar. I'm not a huge Metallica fan, Master Of Puppets and Ride The Lighting were my most listened to in that series. The Cars were very cool, Benjamin Orr was an amazing singer and bass player. I am a huge RUSH fan. I find it astonishing how Geddy Lee can play bass, sing and keyboards at the same time. Neal Peart was a fantastic lyricist also. I didn't agree with his "Rand" Marxist politics, but he was Canadian and had more of a socialist outlook on things. I liked their Sci-Fi writing and mystic weird sounds they would incorporate into the songs. About two years ago I started to really get into pre-'75 Chicago. Terry Kath was undoubtedly the best guitarist on the planet, my opinion of course, with SRV coming in second.
