Heartland

Inspired by the monster hangover that accompanied me on my train journey back from Edinburgh yesterday I got to thinking what are the best albums to listen to with a thumping heidache?

I'll start off with Zero 7 - Simple Things - sheer aural bliss...it did the trick for me anyway. There were even a couple of screaming brats on the train, didn't bother me one bit thanks to THESE <clicky>

Any others?

The last album I found helped with a thumping headache was Faith & The Muse "Elyria"...

I'm listining to Therapy? right now, and it doesn't help at all

The Best Of Sandy Denny

Winter - Into Darkness.

IZ.

Rod Stewart - Greatest Hits

Made me feel much better that particular morning.

Ulver's "William Blakes Marriage of Heaven and Hell"

pop down your sony shop and spend 40 quid on some in ear phones,
might look like a waste of money, but the pair i bought
sound great (good bass, treble etc) and block out any ambient brat sounds
...might also be good
for christmas,,,,

You didn't click on the CLICKY, did you? They cost a bit more than £40 but were worth every penny.

the cure: 17 seconds
autechre: incunnabula
james taylor: greatest hits
xmal deutschland: tocsin
patti smith: horses

Music from a treu alcoholic "Alice Cooper - Welcome to my Nightmare "

That album make's the pain go * whoeeeeeeshhhh * if not, you're still drunk

Conversely, My Bloody Valentine's stuff is a definite no-no for recovering to.

Isn't Anything or Loveless + Hangover = Rapid Vomit Action.

Luvvly...

Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music is the SOUND of a hangover. Also best-avoided.

Mezzanine or any of the LOTR soundtracks. Bliss.

used to swear by velvet underground and/or the ramones.

The RAMONES??? For a hangover? Are you crazy?

Thought of another one.....Cocteau Twins "Treasure"

I usually listen to Rado 4 (the service, not the band)

i like your thinking. presumably frankie teardrop is right up there then

personally

simon and garfunkel,
the carpenters,
spiritualized,
ancient beatbox

something like that

I've said it many times before, but I'll say it gaian: SSV.
Not only great for hangovers, but also for migraines and menstrual pains.

Yup that sounds scary doesnt't it. Now imagine actually experiencing it.

What? Listening to SSV?

To be honest, I think Mr Blast has (quietly) hit the nail on the head...Radio 4 (as he sez, not the bleedin' NY Public Image Limited/Clash wannabes) is the best way to recover possible - calming but entertaining without hectoring...that's what yer need...

And PiB's got a point too...as a recent convert to messrs simon and garfunkel, there's something about their stuff which is like a salve to the furrowed and hungover brow!

Frankie Teardrop...eeeekkkkkkk...let's not go there. ouch!

quite possibly. don't know what it was about them, but it was just right. haven't done it for many years though, so maybe it was just one of those things i grew out of.
