In my case I always like listening to "A whiter shade of pale", it always works.

Dizzy Wright - Killem Wit Kindness

This song always helps me realize how being upset is really nothing more than a barrier to clear thought and working past differences. Great jam to boot too!

A Warm Place by Nine Inch Nails

Whiter shade of pale is beautiful

This is definitely too extreme for most people but I like "Bring Me The Head of The King" by Man Must Die

It's angry enough for angry me to be okay listening to it but within a minute or so I'm in a better mood because I just like the band.

Don't Stop Me Now by Queen. No matter how bad I feel, it always makes me feel better, and it's lively enough that it inspires me to channel that energy into somehing more productive than just venting.

Necromancing Dancing by bear ghost can lift my mood regardless of why I'm upset. but it usually 'Depends on what I'm upset about. I try to find a song that is about the issue I'm experiencing. It helps me better articulate why I am upset I guess.

I usually just put it on a Spotify playlist for yoga and relaxation.

Might be a bit odd of an odd one, but the theme that plays on your ship from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords is a song that never fails to help calm me down.
