Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I've been in bed for a few hours (Stuck in a Moment, anyone?), but I'm up now, and looking for something to listen to. I'll have to give some of these a try.
namkcuR, of course Achtung Baby. There's little that album can't cure.
it sounds weird, surely, but I had a headache from hell i didn't want to take drugs for the other day, and somehow listening to Bad over and over really helped. singing along too. edge's guitar in that one was like a massage of the temples and the pacing/swelling of the melody and the wide awake chorus sort of exorcised the pain away...
wouldn'ta picked it out of a lineup as being helpful i must say...
hope you feel better soon!
I usually stick on the entire Unforgettable Fire album and lay on the couch with my cats and just let whatever I've taken for whatever symptoms kick in. If it's really bad, I'll do the trilogy of Unforgettable Fire/Wide Awake in America/Joshua Tree (sometimes I skip Wide Awake and use Rattle and Hum instead). That way I don't have to get up for a while.
And I agree with you Shell, Bad helps most of the headaches I get as well.
