For me, Art of Noise - Il Pleure. It never fails to make me feel happy when I'm down. There's a way about it, its subtle breakbeat when it's mostly ambient, and the voice that accompanies the song, that just makes it perfect for me.
If you want ambience, you should listen to Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt". It's so beautiful...
Johnny Cash's version is even more ambient, in my opinion.
Dude, NIN's version has a f-cking HARP!

DP, you can curse full out now.
Eh what?
There's a full memo about it on the General Discussion board, but basically you now have the power to turn the autocensor on or off for yourself through Profile -> Look and Layout Preferences.
 
Just don't go overboard with the cursing.

...Then there's no point in doing whatever the hell Shyguy said.

I miss being able to go on the Xephyr Board... I hate my brother so much for f-cking up the computer.

There's a difference.

What's fine: That song is fucking awesome.

What's not fine: If you fucking talk like fucking this all the fucking time, do you fucking understand me? This is what will fucking result in the shitty censor being put back in fucking place.

That's all. You can curse, just don't go overkill.

Pah. The Xephyr Board is still a lot more awesome as far as cursing goes.

And as far as idiot reduction.

Seriously... GAH, I REALLY wish I could access the Xephyr Board... If worse comes to worse, we'll have to buy a new computer.

ANYWAY, on-topic; I could label my favorite songs of each individual genre, if you'd like. Ya know, just to keep this thread on-topicly alive.
 
Genres suuuuuuuuuuuk

But, since the rest of the world uses them, I suppose I will too.

Here goes.

...

Ummm...

Someone give me a list of genres...

Pretty much everything on my computer is "Alternative," "Electronic," or "Rock." Not terribly specific...

Is that why you gave "Black Hole Sun" a shot despite it being grunge - which you hate?

Yes, I'm kidding about the disappointment. :P

Again, this is why I hate genres; I left out so many great bands.

I didn't know that Black Hole Sun was grunge until you told me after I listened to it.

And I never actually gave grunge a fair chance.

Black Hole Sun is the only Grunge song I hate. I now hold a grudge against DP.

You, good sire, are officially an idiot. Even I - one of the biggest music fans on the Wiki - Don't automatically hate people because they don't like or do like certain music genres or songs.

But I'm betting your grudge comment was totally tongue-in-cheek.

Best Song Ever: System of a Down's B.Y.O.B.
Not SoaD's best, but still good. Can get a bit too screamy at times, but the dude's hilarious faux falsetto vocal range in the song more than makes up for the screaming.

Listen to a musical genre before judging it. I used to think I hated heavy metal despite never actually listening to it, but I found I absolutely loved it; Since then, I've never judged artists, genres, or songs before listening to them... Unless I am 100% sure that I dislike the artist or genre, as is the case with most hip hop and contemporary pop acts.

@IS: Wow, you sure are obsessed with obscure bands and indie rock-based genres. Never seen someone dismiss so many kinds of metal genres before.

Yes indeed. I do love my obscureness. :P

And you probably think I just threw away all those metal genres because of the "metal" label... I almost did. But I actually looked them all up and did indeed find I disliked the artists mentioned to be under each one. My friend tried to get me into metal, and I truly don't it.

But again, just personal opinions.
