What are great songs that are really emotional, sad, reminiscent, memorable songs. I guess an example could be Here comes the sun by Ben Harper, or Glycerine by Bush.

Turtle: Look at you Mr. Beg for pussy on promnight.

Eric: Yea Turtle, I was begging my girlfriend, you were begging a 40 dollar hooker who declined your mother's credit card.-Entourage

A lot of Bright Eyes is good, his earlier stuff sounds "raw" or "stripped", whichever you prefer, and is pretty good and emotional.

Rogue Wave and The Shins are other bands you might want to check out, mostly acoustic.

I dunno if this is what you want, but it's called "ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space"- Spiritualized. it's sounds like something Beck would write.

ok he mentioned music along the lines of ben harper, not that emo imamanbutwearwomenspantsandgrowmyhairlong bitch shit some of you people are talking about. dashboard confessional has no business in this thread, and i know better than all of you because that shithead is from my town. i will reccomend a good musician from my town, BRAD MEHLDAU. he is a piano player and his nick drake and radiohead covers are very good. yeah as mentioned before, james taylor and i will say nick drake too.

as mentioned above, radiohead. check out the tracks:
- Wolf at the Door
- I Will
- Karma Police
- Exit Music (for a film)
- Lucky

i don't feel like naming anymore, just go out and buy Kid A and OK Computer, and The Bends sounds like a good album to match what you want

this season i think im gonna ski to a lot of dub. it's so sick and mellow. i got this album called trojan dub which has a lot of artists on it. and i have this album come Laika Come Home. If you like the old Gorillaz album and Dub music, definately get this album. Artists are Gorillaz and Spacemonkeys.

Anyway, a gas station we pass. We got gas, and ran off to get grub.It was a nice little pub in the middle on nowhere. Anywhere woulda been better. I ordered enchiladas and I ate 'em, Ali had the fruit punch.

bright eyes: the calendar hung itself
lover I dont have to love
a perfect sonnet
Its cool, we can still be friends

the beatles: eleanor rigby
a day in the life

counting crows: round here

echo and the bunnymen: nothing ever lasts forever

embrace: looking as you are

hot cross: consonants (more angry)

joy division: love will tear us apart
transmission

open hand: the dream
time to talk

radiohead: the drugs dont work
karma police
fake plastic trees
creep
nice dream
high and dry

thrice: better days
stare at the sun
in years to come (especially the acoustic v.)

thursday: cross out the eyes
I am the killer
war all the time
Ian Curtis

weezer: only in dreams

thats some for you. some angry, some more mellow. only good stuff though.
