Music to pep you up after a loss

[Knighter]

Picture this...The Tigers have just been beaten by Carlton (grrrr) by 1 point. Richo has cracked the sads at all and sundry and you trudge home looking for something to pep up your spirits. You turn to the trusty CD player and wack on some tunes as the beer fridge is opened and a can is extracted.......

I was wondering what music you guys turn to to lift the spirits after a loss? I thought I'd rate the bands by decade and get a response (maybe?).

60's The Stones, The Who, The Beatles and The Kinks. (Anything starting with "The" basically)

70's Ted Mulry Gang (R.I.P. Ted), Wings, The Jam

80's The Police, Elvis Costello,

90's and beyond Ice Cream Hands, Ed Kuepper, Alex Lloyd.

What do you guys think? Do you even give 2 Stuffs????

Cheers

ummm ok your showing ya age here i dont know any of them sorry

 

[Knighter]

showing my age??

Surely there's someone in here older then 33?

 

[Tiger in a Tube]

I'm a touch short of you M33 (though your alias was a ref to Matty Knights??)

After a loss, I'm not up much for listening to music. after a win is another matter. Chem bros, Tool and Pixies.

 

[Knighter]

It actually is in reference to Knighter. Although, the age is the same as his famous number!

Doesn't everyone miss Knighter???

 

[kb7882]

I'm in your age bracket there, M33.

I don't want cheering up after a loss, I'd much rather do some major damage to a slab of VB, and be morose.

Pink Floyd is ideal for this purpose.

 

[g0tigers]

ummm ok your showing ya age here i dont know any of them sorry

Showing thier age!?! im 16 and i no 80% of the bands mentioned!!! :

Stack the Fridge - Kevin Bloody Wilson... ;D

Or anything from Kevin Bloody Wilson .... :-*

 

[Rosy]

I don't want to be pepped up after a win. I'd prefer to wallow in my misery.

Lou Reed-Berlin or Rock and Roll Animal

Leonard Cohen-Live

If I haven't slit my wrists by then I love Jackson Browne or Neil Young or Eagles to remind me of other shattered dreams.

Win lose or draw I always love listening to Pink Floyd and Grateful Dead.

 

[tigerman]

Summer Time Blues- Eddie Cochran.

There aint no cure for the Summer/Autumn time BLUES!!

 

[CanbTiger]

Nick Cave without a doubt.

Mercy Seat, Henry Lee, Come Sail your Ships, Red Right Hand, Do You Love Me

These are anthems of a Richmond loss.

 

[Pieman]

I find any "music" from 73-74 is therapeutic..
Ahhhh memories.
If that fails I like to listen to the sound of a bottle Jack Daniels opening.. To all those who have not heard of even half of original bands mentioned. Throw out your wiggles and Britney and LIVE.

 

[tiga]

Leonard Cohen-Live

Rosy, shouldn't it be Leonard Cohen - Dead ;D
Was he ever alive???
Oh the sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone.... ;D ;D

In all seriousness the best thing after a loss...grab an 80's cd look for timbuk3 "future's so bright (I gotta wear shades)" crank up the volume and let all your inhibitions hang out! ;D

 

[eight ace]

The Mercy Seat is one of the all time great songs. What a downfall Nocturama was.

Excellent choices M33, enjoy all these with possibly the exception of ice cream hands.
I may add...Pearl Jam , The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Fatboy Slim, The chemical bros and Weezer
Depending on my mood KISS may even get a whirl
I am spoilt for choice too as last count l had over 500 cds

 

[Knighter]

If I can suggest to you struggletown to give the Icecream Hands a try if you haven't? An extremely fine Melbourne band who are well and truly underrated. And to cap it off Smiley (the drummer) is a one eyed Tiger boy!

Give them a whirl. Look for a great track called "You could be reported"

Cheers

Look for a great track called "You could be reported"

[smasha]

[CarnTheTiges]

The only tune that could possibly do that is the theme song, accompanied by memories of the 1980 Grand Final.
