What's your "comfort food" album?

oojimaflop [Edit] [Delete] 96 replies 10:29 February 15th, 2013

To go to when you feel fucking terrible?

I think mine is Turn on the Bright Lights. When you feel down you can just lay in a dark room and let it was over you.

  ...I would also say that carefree fun albums from being a teenager are what I listen to for "comfort food". So for example, BloodSugarSexMagic - RHCP

  ...that sort of thing.
