Everybody Hurts by R.E.M.

(Actually, the whole of Automatic For the People!)

Jagged Little Pill, or anything by Meatloaf.

Snap. Everybody Hurts would regularly have whole rooms of us in tears. And actually it’s a soothing song really. I find it quite cheering now.

Manic Street Preachers - pretty much any song.

Toxicity by System of a Down (the whole album)
Crisis by Alexisonfire (whole album)
Casually dressed and Deep in Concentration by Funeral for a friend (again the whole album)

I had a very shouty dad, lived in the backend of beyond and felt very isolated from my friends who all lived in a village 6 miles away.
