Has a specific musician's music helped you through a tough time?

I've never been the type of person to say that music plays a giant part in my life but one moment that definitely stands out is my first lil heartbreak(wasn't that little), thank you MC(from the 90's).

Tool. during a heavy drug phase. marked a part in my life, where i went from caring what everyone thought about me, to not caring.

Hollywood Undead has also helped me come into my own person.

Fiona Apple helped me on oh so many lonely nights.

No.  But not being a bitch has helped me.

Bach and Mozartthemajormayor

Not really. I can always listen to Lights though to cheer myself up if I'm feeling down.

John Lennon's Across the Universe soothed me in some of my earlier tough times.

not really but I associate certain musicians with particular times in my life..like Pearl Jam when I was 15, they were my first concert and I listened to their music non stop

Somewhat. Radiohead helps me level myself out, I just put it on and let it engulf me until whatever feelings I have wash away. Sometimes though, when I'm doing vocal practice, as a way to kinda release some negativity, I'll sing Attack Attack!'s The Wretched. So if you count that kinda stuff, I guess so.

The band that is a part of my name, Lostprophets.

Not the greatest of bands, but they just happened to come around during what is probably the hardest part of my life so far. My Dad had just gone to prison and my Mom divorced him and ended up with a new guy so we moved out of our house. I was 14-15 dealing with alot of crap on my plate atop of my anxiety issues which were still controlling me then.

They were the first band I really latched onto when I started turning more and more to music to help deal with life. I remember listening to their first two albums, The Fake Sound of Progress and Start Something repeatedly for quite a while!

Not happy with what the band became over the years though and not happy with what the lead singer has been accused of either. They still played a big role there for me so I guess those first two cd's will always hold a little place in my heart.

Alice in Chains helped me through some depression.foxhound_fox

Also, this. PT became a Prog/Psychadelic version of AiC to me.

No but this makes me cry  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2K7D-uMH2g

no

lol no

like, it might warm a mood dip from losing a vidya gaem

Yes.  Music is a great healer, and Brahms has been a steadfast friend to turn to in times of need. :P

Yes. Mozart is my constant companion. He is there in good and bad times to cheer me up.

There was also that time that the world was going to end. I listened to a lot of Herb Alpert.

No, it's probably made things worse. zeroyaoi

Yeah, listening to Sonic Youth back in my halcyon days really made me an elitist jerk. These days I really don't care about the music scenes.
