Definitely. I especially notice it with fall for some reason. Bob Mould, The Church and REM are real big fall music for me.

Seasons have never really changed what I listen to. The weather sometimes does. when it's raining I sometimes like something a little more atmospheric or melancholic.

Yesss... weather has a huge effect on what I listen to as well.

"Teardrop" by Massive Attack is like the ultimate rainy night song for me.

Excluding 2 ill advised DnB tracks I find Everything But The Girl's 'Temparamental' album perfect for that.

When it snows: Blue In Green- by Miles Davis (actually really written by Bill Evans but I'm referring to the Kind of Blue version) is about as perfect as it gets. Bill's piano intro actually sounds like snow if snow could make beautiful music.

Sounds kind of cliche but the song "Good Morning" by Amyas really helped brighten up the walk into work at 5:30 am.

The Charm of the Highway Strip as an album obviously works best on a dark, lonely highway.
