I was looking in the songs that make you cry topic and meanwhile I was listening to Nick Cave's Murder Ballads and it brought a smile to my face.
It was not just a this is a nice record smile (:)) No it was a these songs make me smile smile (:twisted:).
Is that a normal reaction?

Yes and when I put my notebook down I treat myself to an evil gufaw.

Tu-dumm!
Tu-dumm, tu-dumm tu-dumm!
Who of you recognizes the song and is grinning now?

Stop the World - Ghost Dance, beautiful song

I don't listen to a song unless it has an effect on me

(well it was this or take off and start listing loads )

Shatner's common people!

Listening to Atomic Kitten for example makes for special effects in the bowel area...

IZ.

Mars by Holst always makes me drive really fast,Green Onion by Booker T and the MG's makes me drive really fast,Gift by Sugar makes me drive really fast,Hit by The Jesus and Mary Chain makes me drive really fast.....I'll have to dig out that compilation tape again.

Madonna's 'Ray of Light' does something to me. (that bass sound)

whole load of others have an effect but nothing like the Sisters

I second that and can remember being gutted to hear GD had split after that album

They got Depends for that, Scotty!

Oooooh, Spacemen 3 time again!

"Hypnotized" is just such a beautiful warm feeling. When the trumpets come in on the second chorus it's like something truly glorious.

Must get a copy o' that to Mr Blast

Ever Fallen In Love (Buzzcocks) makes me feel really good when I spin it & Shining Light by Ash.
The list does go on though. I think every CD I own has parts that "do things to me"
The Wannadies' String Song is another.

On the other end of the scale, Ben E King's Stand by Me makes me put my shoes & coat on & leave the building. Otherwise the origin of said song would meet a messy end if only never to be physically capable of playing that tripe ever again.

I was more thinking in the line of somewhat more harmful effects.
Stuff you would rather keep for yourself and not post on public forums.


Don’t be shy, you can tell us!

Well, anything by Robbie Williams makes me want to kill and maim

Still having me in your house, Christophe...?

Tracks that have an adverse effect on me usually stem from my childhood and stir up depressing memories of dull Sundays visiting relatives in the grim grey days, songs such as:
Cilla Black - Anyone Who had a Heart
Petula Clark - Downtown
Cilla Black (yep, her again it's her fuckin' voice) - Always Something there to Remind Me
The Beatles - I Wanna Hold Your Gland (sic.), I Feel Fine, Yellow Submarine and others
Billy J. Kramer - Little Children (this one dredges up some real depressing vibes)
Del Shannon - Runaway
The Kinks - Lazy Sunday (aversion therapy has cured me of the worst effects down the years)
The Smiths - 1st album, a bad time in my life relationship wise and I still think it's their best album

I can't really think of anything (just now) modern that induces the bummers the above do although a special mention should go to old Trout Razor for A Warm Place, which induces a downer I actually can cope with as, I think it's an excellent piece of music.

hides my Robbie Williams cd's
nah, I don't have any of those but I'm rather sure I have thuns of records that would have the same effect on you

So my long and heartfelt reply means nothing to you (Oh Vienna!) christophe?

JAMs version too?

oh James it meant the world to me! I was still deciphering it to be honest. You should know bye now my English isn’t what should be.

I had written down some more songs/bands but its kind of tricky to put on virtual paper. Here’s a starter.

Temple of Love; it gives me strength but on a very lonely way.
System of a down; makes me feel fragile and helpless.
Paradise Lost’s Paradise Lost; this just give me power, in a way like nothing can get to me.

Sorry christophe, I'd not even begin to try it in German.

@ Dark not heard it but probably, it's an old memory of James' thing Korin, I associate it with dull and dreary times, you don't.
