What songs do you love/recommend for when you are disappointed? Say by the end of an incredible basketball season?

I can't do sad songs during moments like these. I only use those after a ****** day at work to start the car ride home so I don't drive angry.

If I'm sad or disappointed, I counter with something fast or punk. Ramones, Dropkick Murphys, Black Flag, The Score, Flogging Molly, etc

I don't want to wallow in sorrow.

props for the thread title.

This reminds me of something I saw on FB after another disappointing loss in the NCAA tournament a few years back.

"the end of the Cyclone debacle happened just as I boarded a flight. I tried to find solace in putting on my headphones. Let's just say the Genius mix on my IPhone failed me the next couple hours, as the following songs poured salt in the wound: Kicking Television -Wilco
Heartbreaker - Led zeppelin
Monty got a raw Deal - REM
5 straight songs by Alabama Shakes (don't wanna talk about it)
I'm trying to break your heart -Jeff Tweedy
Stop your Crying -Bob Mould
Not an Addict -K's Choice
Stop this Train -John Mayer
One Bourbon, one shot, one beer- George Thorogood (thank you Frontier)
Everybody Hurts - REM
Intervention - Arcade Fire
Accidents Will Happen -Elvis Costello
ISU Fight Song -
All is Forgiven - Jim James.

I'm in a 90s country mood today and this just came on. Felt appropriate for this thread.
