Joyful music

[Liza F]

What is your favorite positive, uplifting, joyful song/album?

 

[cutie bug]

The lyrics don't suggest joy but this is my favourite Madness track ever with one of the best toe tapping beats ever.

The Polyphonic Spree - The Beginning Stages Of...

As for Madness, although I prefer their earlier albums overall, Michael Caine is an excellent happy pop song!

 

[Squee]

Joy Division - Closer






ok seriously erm Hard Fi - Stars of CCTV

the only mainstream band worth a listen IMO

 

[McIntyre2K7]

Any decent Northern Soul comp.

 

[mcalano77]

there's a kind of hush - herman's hermits
blue song - bright eyes
just what i needed - the cars
green eyes - coldplay
better together - jack johnson
500 miles - the proclaimers
you can dance if you want to.men at work
calypso blues - nat king cole
what i like about you - the ramones
sons and daughters - deceraberists

uuuummm, that's all I've got off the top of my head. But I'm sure that there's more

I would say "Martha My Dear" by The Beatles is the greatest happy song ever created. The Deceraberists' "Summersong" is a good one too.

Atom and His Package - A Society of People Named Elihu

 

[hotbody1769]

U2 - Beautiful Day.

Just makes me smile when it builRAB up and he sings "it's a beautiful day!" That what I wait for the entire time.

 

[munkismile]

Haha, I was going to say that.


Sonata Arctica - Winterheart's Guild (yeah I know it's poppy power metal, but it is uplifting)
Pelican - The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw (very uplifting and beautiful)
Porcupine Tree - most music... even 'sad' songs like 'Drown With Me' make me happy.

 

[Chumpy1970]

Anything really by jack johnson Better Together, Bubbly toes, Taylor, Flake, Upside Down.

 

[whitefeathersnpr]

I was gonna suggest Jack Johnson!! Matt Costa is pretty swish as well, great songs to make you happy

[infraredcentipede]

Dancemusic from the 90s! Basic Element, Pandora, Haddaway, Look twice, Corona, La Bush etc.

I love that one. In fact it's one of the first Beatles songs that made me really get into them. It's where I saw the magic - despite having liked other songs in the past, more passively I guess.


Kill me.


Kill me.



This one really reminRAB me of my late high school frienRABhips. Gives me chills and watery eyes. :beer: Makes me want to go for a long drive on a sunny day.

I'll post some of my own later. Well here's one for starters - "Pattycake" by sElf. Almost anything by them is joyful.

And a single from earlier this year, "Could You Love Me Now"

And Shiny Happy People has the same effect on me as does, Walking On (fuckin') Sunshine.

Nauseous.
