depending on why I'm feeling down.

If I also need a jolt of energy, though, it HAS to be uptempo, and I'll listen to a couple of long-time favorites from the Eagles and John Fogerty.

And recently I've realized I can add a Golden Earring track to that short list, after seeing video of the band having so damn much fun with this song, which was a Top 10 hit in Europe but didn't chart here. I posted a thread with the song a couple of days ago - https://democraticunderground.com/103467781 .
