It seems obvious from the threads on favourite bands and music that there's quite a big emphasis for many on loud guitar rock/metal/punk etc.etc., but what's your favourite chill out music? Sunny day lazing around or sunday morning music when you don't want your ears blasting.

I'd have to go with Miles Davis - Kind of Blue - always seems to voted best ever jazz album - or the whispering tones of Chet Baker - or the wonderfully cheesy sound of an american guitar duo of the 50s called Santo and Johnny - electric and Hawaain guitar music, really kitsch.

I for one am not into heavy rocky, it can damage your ears

To chill our I listen to the likes of , Kenny Rodgers,Elvis Presley,Cliff Richard,Phil Collins Dean Martin. This list is endless, but perhaps my favourite is Queen.

Cool lazy day, cool lager, and Jamie Cullum on piano.... perfect!

---

"Winston {Churchill} your drunk" -" Yes Madam !! - but you're ugly - and I will be sober in the morning"

Some good stuff listed so far... Jamie Cullum, Enigma, Moby. I'll add Jean Michel-Jarre and Juno Reactor to that list. But for one single track, Jools Holland doing "Temple Bar".

Mmmm... don't get much chance to chill out so if I do it usually means I'm sleeping LOL!  I went through a bit of a celtic phase once - Celtus I think they were called and a bit of Kenny G - but it soon passed

Okay, here goes... I usually 'chill out' to whatever I'm listening to, even heavy rock...but I know what you mean about not wanting your ears blasted though...

Music for a lazy summers day...

Aim, Nightmares On Wax, Goldfrapp, Air, Theivery Corporation, Sigur Ros, Massive Attack, Amon Tobin, Sebastien Tellier... then there's Handel, Bach and Beethoven's piano sonatas. Miles Davis - totally agree with Kind of Blue - and John Coltrane, Charles Mingus playing piano, Nina Simone. Buena Vista Social Club! And meloncholy low-fi singer songwriters: Nick Drake, Kings of Convenience, Simon & Garfunkel, Badly Drawn Boy, Tim Buckley - even a Radiohead album if the mood is right.

Pity we get so few lazy summer days really....

Coltrane.....goes without saying!

Not always but sometimes chillout to classical. Baroque.

Handel, Bach, Vivaldi, etc..

Can be very relaxing.

I'm with you on this one.

As for the effect of listening to music on driving style, see: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7369773.stm

The final quote is the most interesting:

Interestingly, the research shows that, although certain types of music are often thought of as having a relaxing effect on the listener, there is no proof that this results in a more tempered driving style.
