Songs that just sound better at a certain time of day/place (hip-hop, jazz)

I love some hard core jazz or funk at night. Especially driving at night through the city.

Folk or country like Nickle Creek or the Wailin' Jenny's are great for mellowing out during a day at home.

Radiohead or the Autumns for driving in a storm. It's just so moody.

Some good jazz guitar is always good driving music or a cool quiet night. Only alone though. Doesn't work with a group.

When I'm alone at night, any spacey, ambient or downtempo music sounds better. I used to stay up late and listen to Dark Side of the Moon all the time.

Crashing and dying after falling asleep at the wheel is a pretty big change ey?

Waking up to Tubular Bells is fantastic.

Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother Suite sounds fantastic during a long car ride.

Well certain tunes are a gimme that you'd think are better sounding during certain parts of the day, such as:

Good Morning, Good Morning by the Beatles (off of "Sgt. Pepper's")
A Beautiful Morning by the Rascals
Morning Has Broken by Cat Stevens
Morning Train (Nine To Five) by Sheena Easton
etc.

(When else would you really want to hear those four tunes, and some others, but in the morning?)

or

Tuesday Afternoon - The Moody Blues
Afternoon Delight - Starland Vocal Band
Sunny Afternoon - The Kinks

(Those are best in the afternoon).

Friday On My Mind - The Easybeats
Five O'Clock World - The Vogues
Working For The Weekend - Loverboy

(Those would be best at say Friday around 5 to 6 pm).

And then of course there are numerous evening/night songs that have been written.

And as for other days of the week:

You'd want to hear on Monday:

Monday Monday - Mamas & The Papas
Manic Monday - The Bangles

You'd want to hear on Tuesday:

Ruby Tuesday - The Rolling Stones
Tuesday's Gone - Lynyrd Skynyrd

(What are some Wednesday or Thursday songs?)

And on Saturday:

Saturday In The Park - Chicago
Come Saturday Morning - The Sandpipers

And on Sunday:

Sunday Will Never Be The Same - Spanky & Our Gang

(And of course there are others, like that).

you all have had some great ones---

has anyone listened to "Crystal Ship" or "Not To Touch The Earth" by The Doors in a completly dark and silent room? If you haven't, I highly suggest you do. It will make you feel like you are getting hyptonized and falling into the abyss. hahahaha
IM NOT KIDDING

and then listen to Alabama Song after that

How about songs/ bands/ genres at a certain time of year? I always find myself listening to more jazz in the winter. Spring comes along and I have a hip-hop craving. Anyone else notice trends like this in their listening?
