For some odd reason the Vince Guaraldi Trio's Charlie Brown Christmas album relaxes me like it's no ones business.

Pantera. 8-)
My PSP. Over time, I added every song I owned to it, then deleted them till all thats left is super relaxing.
Leave some shards under the belly
Lay some grease inside my hand
It's a sentimental jury
And the makings of a good plan
Boards Of Canada.
Also, any of the piano pieces by Aphex Twin, especially "Nanou 2".
Anything that falls under the genre of 'Metal'.

Avril Lavigne music really relaxs me and even when I'm ready for bed I fall right to sleep lol. (I'm a hardcoare Avril fan) So yeah, I listen to her daily because I can relate to her stuff.

I find that The Gathering (not before Anneke joined in) is very soothing.

I use Mozarts Symphony 31 in D Major to get rid of anger when I'm pissed off. Surprisingly enough it actually works.
Although, I seldom use music for relaxation. It's too active an activity for me, I guess.
Sufjan Stevens always works for me.
Air and Boards of Canada have the ambience/soft electronica category down for my relaxing time.
As for vocal music, nothing can beat Iron & Wine or Cat Power. It's amazing to hear so much emotion into such "soft" voices with minimal instrument backing.
What I've been listening to:
Hmm Dido, Death Cab For Cutie, Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly maybe.
Anything acid jazz, like Massive Attack or Portishead. Tim Larkin's Uru soundtrack is also very nice to wind down to. Mmm, Jeff Buckley's also something I like to cool down with too, especially his Live at Sin-e album (the double CD one).
Another few good ones are usually from films. Soundtracks to the Last of the Mohicans, and Unbreakable are extremely good.

...Erm, okay, I started typing up the whole thing. I'll finish it off later with FFX and some other soundtracks, but this pretty much always sends me to sleep. I'd include older FF music but, well, you can tell it's synthesis far more than the more modern FF music of course, so it doesn't work as well.
Hey Joe and The Wind Cries Mary by Jimi Hendrix always seem to mellow me out.
Thanks to Owen McWare for the sig. This sig is staying up forever no matter what.
