You should check out Morphine. The singer plays 2-string fretless bass, with a drummer and a sax player. It is soothing, but not in a boring way. The lyrics are very good, the singer, the late Mark Sandman (his real name) said he was more inspired by works of literature than other bands. Each and every one of my friends who have heard Morphine is a fan of theirs. I decided to not write about anyone else, just to give my choice of this band more weight.
Albumwise, I think "Good" and "Cure For Pain" are the best to get intoduced to. For individual songs, try these:
The Other Side
Test Tube Baby/Shoot 'em Down
Thursday
Whisper
Hanging On A Curtain
I Had My Chance
You Speak My Language
A Good Woman Is Hard To Find
Rope On Fire
When I feel crappy, listening to this band makes me feel better.
