Anytime I feel like relaxing, I just throw on some Mazzy Star.

Hope's voice is like a drug.

[Lazy Boy]

Anything sung by Isobel Campbell.

[Powerslave]

Lots of stuff by The Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel, it'd take too long to list individual songs.
Miles Davis - So What (the whole album (Kind Of Blue) is relaxing though)
Sunn O))) & Boris - The Sinking Belle
Porcupine Tree - Collapse The Light Into Earth
Everything on "Mezzanine" by Massive Attack
Everything on "Mr. Beast" by Mogwai (particularly Auto Rock and Friend Of The Night)
Asian Kung-Fu Generation - Mugen Glider

[Scarfather]

To actually relax me a song needs to be saccharine without being too loud or rambunctious.

Solsbury Hill, Peter Gabriel is the one that immediately comes to mind.

[Superplasmatron]

apperantly alot of bands and musicans have made tracks to relax your bowels, ultra low frequencies will make you shit, bands like sunn use ultra low frequences that are audio prune juice.

[SpongeBod]

Bob Marley, Jimmy Buffett, The Eagles and surf music is what I listen to the most to relax.

Is This Love - Bob Marley
Trying To Reason With Hurricane Season - Jimmy Buffett
Take It To The Limit - Eagles
Shambala - Three Dog Night
Black Water - Doobie Bros.
Sharing The Night Together - Dr. Hook
Hello It's Me - Todd Rundgren
Southern Cross - Crosby, Stills & Nash
Reminiscing - Little River Band

Hell fucking yes.

Panda Bear's Person Pitch album does this to me.

As well as Ventura Highway by America

Nutshell - Alice in Chains

What's Going On? - A Perfect Circle
Peace, Love and Understanding - A Perfect Circle
Flower Duet - Lakme

[Brando @$$ Fat]

There are so many great albums but the one I'll mention that makes me the most relaxed is MBV's Loveless. Minus the first track it's one of the most soothing things ever.

How do I forget one of my favorite albums ever?


I'm ashamed of myself. :(

[XHendrix24]

Loveless and Music for Airports always get the job done. :cool:

As far as MBV goes, the Tremelo and Glider EPs are also really good in this area.

[Kings-Rook1]

Drug Me - Dead Kennedy's

JK, The Sundays pop to mind.

[Brando @$$ Fat]

I suppose I should've mentioned anything by Simon & Garfunkel as well. Or The Beach Boys, for that matter.

Can't ever go wrong with the Beach Boys. Also Bob Dylan's Knockin' on Heavens Door is one I forgot to add.

[therealjohng]

^^^^wtf???

[Tayzlor]

I dunno but the Beach Boys are better than Spiritualized.

True, but that's kinda like saying the Mona Lisa is better than Starry Night.

This coming from the guy who has never heard Spiritualized.

Anyway, Broken Social Scene has some very relaxing songs, especially Lover's Spit. Iron and Wine also comes to mind with songs like Sodom, South Georgia and 16, Maybe Less. Overall, Bob Marley pretty much owns this topic, esp. the live version of No Woman No Cry, something I rediscovered recently.

Have you heard 45:33? The instrumental track of that inspires me to slow my jog into a light walk.

For me, Can, "Future Days", and that one Stars of the Lid album I own.
