Why don't we live together?

PSB... Blast from the past  But is a good track, think it was re-released in 2001 as a remix???

Nice

lol! I never did leave the 80's ... I flatly refuse to migrate ;~)

I like Sufjan Stevens a lot, it's very mellow :-)

Recently I've been getting into other stuff, like Patrick Wolf, Austra, Metric... and I liked Operator Please when I was a teenager.  Those are generally more poppy.

Hi Ara,
What Genre? Reading his profile it could be C&W influenced... got to admit I have always had a bent towards Dance, RnB, Reggae, House, Electronic etc..., although I do enjoy a lot of cross genre singers...

I'll try and have a listen... 

Hi Sarah, I always confound people with my music tastes, don't dislike the 70's, 80's - right through to today, but always moved with what goes down well at the clubs; yeah used to rave... but gave up the club scene (apart from local clubs and DJ nights) about 15 years ago... got a bit of a poke in the eye by some late teens....

With Sufjan Stevens genre is a hard question.  His albums All Delighted People, Illinois (most famous) and Avalanche have a folk/alternative rock sound to them, but they also have a strange high school band instrumentation to them as well.  His album Age of Ads is electronic.  A Sun Came is sort of grungy rock, and it's his earliest album as far as I can tell.  Lately he has joined Sisyphus, a RnB/hip hop group.  Seven Swans is good, very much folk but really good.

Finally there's his other (weirder) stuff. 
Enjoy your Rabbit is electronic and entirely instrumental.  He teamed up with a symphony orchestra to make it into a ballet, Run Rabbit Run.
The BQE is a ballet inspired by the Boston train line.
He has a couple of Christmas Albums that I enjoy.

Hope that answers your question :-)

For me, it depends on why I'm in that mood. 

But among my most listened to when I'm down are Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamin, Within Temptation, Dave Matthews Band, Pentatonix, Celtic Woman, and Lindsey Steriling. 

Other music I just lose myself in while I listen.  It's like I'm transported to a whole other world.  This is what I do most often when I feel down.  Music that does this includes works by John Rutter, Gustav Holst, Frank Ticheli, Maurice Durfle, Beethoven, Rossini, Aaron Copeland, Mendelssohn, hymn arrangements, movie scores, and Celtic music.

im always listening to the same music when im feeling great/down
metal/rock

Days Are Gone by Haim is totally comforting to me. Also Devotion by Jessie Ware and definitely Disintegration by the Cure...when Plainsong starts in after those chimes its like this wave of warmth and nostalgia and sadness washes over me everytime.
