To relieve my stress I listen to rock or mellow music. So which one do you listen to when you are emotionally or physically stressed. Why?

Hi There, I think both types of music have their advantages and are nice to listen to. However, rock is by far my favourite. It totally relieves my stress. I particularly like to run when I am listening to rock music. Pounding the pavement while listening to it is the way to go. cheers,

I'm really stressed right now, and my current music is miscellaneous mellow Red Hot Chili Peppers tracks. They are soothing to me, for whatever reason. :D

I listen to anything at all to calm my moods. A chord progression will usually rid of my bad mood. I like calm songs even when I'm nowhere calm. I usually pick up my guitar and play the most depressing song I know how to play. My guitar is the one who actually helps relieve my stress. Hard screaming rock usually gets me pissed off, depending on the day. It's weird how music can do that to you.

If I'm angry and frustrated and just feel like screaming, rock....I need to hear the noise, the drums, the guitars, energy being used.... if I want to cry something out, or be all sappy and depressed...mellow music, or if I'm irritable...because it can soothe
