Hey guys, I'm trying to put together a compilation c.d. to drink to and I was wondering if you guys could help me pick out the best chill-out songs and/or albums of all time.

Thanks for your help.

I'm big on my 'sleep' tapes, so I have a few chilled songs I love:

Air - All I Need

Drugstore Cowboys - Sweet Jane

Spiritualized - Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space/Cool Waves

Radiohead - Pyramid Song/Everything In It's Right Place

Massive Attack - Teardrops/Safe From Harm/Protection

Portishead - Mourning Air/Cowboys

Agree with Lady Version; anything from Royksopp or Massive Attack does the business.

What about What's The Frequency, Kenneth?

Hmm. Can't see me sleeping much to that. It's be like Mr. Bean falling asleep and then WHAM! The bodyform advert comes on the TV!

My favorit chill song of all time is
Led Zepplin's: Bron-Yr-Aur
Its a short instrumental, very relaxing
