My standard used to be the first Counting Crows disc but I don't really feel like listening to that today.

If you mean gray day as in "the sun isn't coming out" literally then I really like listening to the Clientele or Kingsbury Manx.

If you mean gray day as in your emotional state, then I would probably put on Cocteau Twins or Elliott Smith as they are the closest things I could call my "musical friends" and they comfort me.

Clientele are more a walking in the rain to the train station at night through deserted streets of tenements band than a mere 'grey day' group, but hey, that's just my opinion.

And by the way a K really did get over me.

joni mitchell - blue

Huge fan of this album, but Carey feels too 'up', especially sandwiched between Little Green, and then Blue, and then the last three track in a row are so good that it's like getting pummeled by a boxer while your hands are tied behind your back. It's almost too sad for a gray day. But yeah, that was the first album that came to mind...
