Happy, feel-good music. Let's make this an epic thread.

[Thor]

This one is pretty obvious...

 

[gkbass13]

this song makes me happy every time!

 

[michael_atw]

This should work.

 

[5StringBlues]

This should work.

ACK!!!!! My childhood!

 

[lunarpollen]

I'm surprised no one's mentioned this one yet! Kind of a no-brainer.



Aren't we all peppy now?

That tune makes me want to kill people. The opposite of happy.

 

[lunarpollen]

The happiest one I can think of off-hand is "Big Blue Sun" by Adrian Belew.

If you crave for the type of happiness that entails absolute oneness and serenity, I suggest you listen to some YES.

YES makes me genuinely happy to be alive.

My FAVORITE happy song of ALL TIME:
"Happy Song" by Janitor Bob and the Armchair Cowboys
(a local band from back home in South Dakota)

Others, off the top of my head and in no particular order:
"Bold As Love" by the John Mayer Trio
(not the original I know, but Pino's the bassist )

"Don't Dwell" by 311
(that bass intro/line is soooooo fun to play, too)

"I'll Take You There" by The Staple Singers

"I Need More Love" by Robert Randolph and the Family Band

"Jazz (We've Got)" by A Tribe Called Quest

"Ain't That Right" by G. Love & Special Sauce
"Beautiful" by G. Love (featuring Tristan Prettyman)
(sorry, couldn't make up my mind )

"What I Got" by Sublime

"Don't Cha Wanna Ride" by Joss Stone
(I know, I know lol, but she's hot and so is that groove)

"True to Myself" by Ziggy Marley

 

[fivestringgecko]

I dare anyone to listen to the 1956 Connecticut Jazz Festival performance of "Diminuendo in Blue"/"Crescendo in Blue" by Duke Ellington & his Orchestra (just a few weeks after their famous performance of the same thing at the Newport Jazz Festival), and then tell me how joyful you feel after reaching the end

I couldn't agree more! I was just going to suggest that.

If I want something different, however, I'd also dig on the Black Crowes, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Who, or the Moody Blues. Stuff like that instantly makes me feel like I'm floating--instant elevation. It's not quite as cheery or light as a lot of the stuff people are suggesting (and I dig all of it!), but it's what does the trick for me. That's all music that inspires me and it's the music that I've got my roots in. It's therapeutic to get back into it on a regular basis because it brings me back to myself. It puts everything into perspective.

 

[fivestringgecko]

Dude, stellar post!

Thanks! I'll post some more tonight.

Also, thanks again for starting this thread! I'm really digging it... Like others have mentioned in here, I've needed some positive vibes lately. Best thread I've subscribed to in a long time and I hope it keeps going!

Cool song. Sounds a whole lot like ELO. That's a good thing. The song is cool, but it seems the content may not be so happy happy joy joy.

You Don't Know Me

Well... i was laid off this morning (along with 16 others). So in any bummy time, i look to music to brighten things.

Today, this is my track:

Gliss - "Beauty"


I love this band, and this album is my favorite release this year so far.
