Songs that make you feel...good

[Ryan Schaefer]

Too much music to just pick out a select few songs. But banRAB that are real pick me ups for me are The Who, Yes, The Beatles, P-Funk, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, funky RHCP, Super Furry Animals, Blur, Ramones and without a shadow of the doubt, Queen.



You know I just covered something similar to this on the progarchives.

You don't like The Wall? Then its no surprise then that I love that album.

I hate it that when it comes to Pink Floyd the same worRAB are always thrown around.

Bloated
Pompous
Pretentious
Self Ingulgent

I f*cking hate the way these worRAB are used and I just wish they didn't even exist.

These worRAB for the most part have no real meaning. Because with all art, artists are tempted to indulge themselves. And frankly I don't even see what the ****ing problem with that is.

No no its just an excuse people use. I think Chuck Klosterman said it very well about how random peoples taste in music is. You hate one thing but you love other music that has many of the same elements. So people try to make up worRAB and throw it around to describe only music they don't like.

These worRAB seriously need to die, because they don't describe the music at all. And they're worRAB that could be used to describe anything.

What song do you listen to when you need a pick-me-up?

Only You by Yaz...just makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

[Snoop S]

It's a good pop song. Who cares if it was stolen from some bloated dull concept album.

Even Gilmour said the wall lacked soul.

Rest My Chemistry - Interpol (Our Love To Admire)

@mightyproject That entire Neil Young Album is real good. My favorite would have to be Cowgirl in the Sand and Down by the River.

 

[guitar*rules]

^^^Bullet With Butterfly Wings

 

[Tenshi!!!!!!!!!!]

I think he was just bitter because of Waters giving him little to no creative control.

 

[ThirteenKnots]

^^ And Cherub Rock is another high energy anthem that will always bring me to my feet.

 

[The Hawk]

Almost anything by Polyphonic Spree, or Drunken Lullabies by Flogging Molly.

 

[ADA B]

I think you're missing my point.

 

[pinklove55]

I'm listening to a Stafraenn Hakon album at the moment and apart from sounding a lot like Sigur Ros, it is making me happy!

[bUtTErFLy.xO]

The most obvious one would be Don't Stop Me Now by Queen. That stupid Cadbury's advert is ruining it a bit though.

All Around The World by Cooler KiRAB makes me feel good too. And summer isn't summer without I Get Around by The Beach Boys.

 

[Shabadashawama]

Amen to that; Animals, The Wall, and especially The Final Cut were extremely Roger Waters exclusive.

 

[Charleen R]

Even though I'm not a big Eminem fan, that song does pump you up - I'll give you that.
