What do you listen to when you're sad or depressed?

I listen to Frank Sinatra's In the Wee Small Hours. Sure, it may be from 1955, but the songs are timeless, and are especially powerful when it's a person that's causing your sorrows.

i usually start with something really sad and depressing (country or emo works well, lol) then move to more aggressive sounding stuff (metal/industrial usually.) and if that doesn't work, then i try some tchaikovsky, which can take me through so many ranges of emotions, i just get confused and forget that i started out sad/depressed....
