What song do you consider the most relaxing one...?

Mine would be:

Listening to that song while you're laying in bed, looking at the ceiling...daydreaming, makes you want to close your eyes.. and fly away....

Job For a Cowboy...
Cannibal Corpse...













No seriously probably When My Guitar Gently Weeps (any version). Favorite is Vinnie Moore's though.

Dandy Warhols - Sleep

Posted by: Hemlok Feb 6 2008, 08:36 AM

First thing that comes to my mind as the most relaxing is White Night by Hot Club de Norvège. I thank Robin for showing me this, along with many other amazing kinds of music he has introduced to me

Another..

Opeth - Patterns in the Ivy

Edit: I guess songs without vocals are more relaxing to me, lets you drift away into the music.

Edit2: Re-worded first paragraph

When I want to sleep, nothing is more relaxing than listening to some Y. Malmsteen. Hearing those notes played at 200bpm speed is like a sleeping pill

Michel------------- by Anouk


Makes me relax

Posted by: steve25 Feb 7 2008, 12:00 AM

Yeah some great stuff here, a lot of heard but some i haven't so checking it out now. I love to play this sort of stuff late at night. Guys, check out Gary Moore - The Loner if you haven't already

Posted by: jeff Feb 7 2008, 12:06 AM

Muris Varajic - Where we belong
Dire Straits - News
Jeff Beck - 'Cause we've ended as lovers

Posted by: JVM Feb 7 2008, 12:12 AM

I agree with this! In the same vein, Opeth's Epilogue and Ending Credits both have the same effect on me. Also a lot of classical, stuff like moonlight or a lot of bach stuff. Radiohead has a lot of really great relaxing stuff, especially on the new album but also with stuff like Street Spirit.

Bob Marley.

SMASHING PUMPKINS. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is a very relaxing album for me.

John Hiatt's 'I'll never get over you'.

Bob Dylan's later albums, see 'Oh Mercy', specifically stuff like Man in the long black coat, Most of the time, or Shooting Star.

A lot of dire straits, especially from Brothers in Arms.

Posted by: Juan M. Valero Feb 7 2008, 12:26 AM

Without doubt:

Pachelbel Canon !!! (the original, not the rock version)

Posted by: Slammer Feb 7 2008, 05:59 AM

I have to Agree with Gen.

Manhattan by Eric Johnson does it for me everytime.

Esp. the Slide Part I could just drift away.

Also -for me at least- Alot of the Motown songs like "Sail on" and "Easy" by the commodores etc.

Posted by: rokchik Feb 7 2008, 08:45 PM

Anything by Andrea Bocelli especially Con Te Partiro and Ave Maria. Two of the most beautiful songs ever IMHO.

PS: Nessun Dorma is anther one I can't really relax without. Either Pavoratti or Bocelli...both are beautiful.

Posted by: kyldeee Feb 7 2008, 08:53 PM

Gary Moore - The Loner, is just great... Very Relaxing

Posted by: Davidian Feb 8 2008, 09:35 PM

Riders On The Storm by The Doors really does it for me

Posted by: PolackHax0r Feb 8 2008, 09:46 PM

Posted by: Nemanja Feb 9 2008, 01:03 AM
