It goes on for ages so I won't bore you with my huge list of happy music.

Mine are (in no particular order and all for different reasons)

Penny Lane

I am the one and only - Chesney Hawkes (yes I know the shame) ops:

YMCA - cheesy I know but always makes me wanna dance

All you need is love (can you tell I'm a Beatles Fan?)

Annie's Song - John Denver (I walked down the isle to this song) :love:

There are SO many more I could add to this list

Awesome! I generally make a point of the music I listen to being upbeat examples! There's a whole cause and effect debate about my personality and the music I listen to!
But personal favourites are;
Take on Me; Reel Big Fish
One Week; Barenaked Ladies (Or any of their faster paced tracks, for that matter)
Phantom of the Opera; Me First and the Gimme Gimmes (An awesome punk cover of an otherwise ordinary piece of Musical Theatre)
And absolute favourite of the moment has to be MY SHARONA!!! How can you not love the Knack!!!?!!!

My Sharona was on the radio the other day! I forgot that I owned this on vinyl and dug it out yesterday afternoon and bopped around the living room with my son to it.

J Geils Band - Centrefold - also good for cheering you up.

I want to rock and roll all night - Kiss. Yes, still am a fan of the hottest band in the world. I even watch Gene Simmons Family Jewels. :help:

Tiger Feet - Mud

Pretty much anything from the 1970s gets me happy

Michelle - not familiar with many of those tracks. I can see another busy day ahead of me sussing them out on the internet.

I have a VERY eclectic taste in music, ranging from Beethovens "Moonlight Sonata" to hard core metal and punk, thrash, heck, I am into Manson, Putrid Christ, Grateful dead lots of goth stuff, lots of Shadows, Enya, I could go on for ages!

Does anyone know what MUD stands for? In relationship to that great band of the 70's MUD. What song was the lead singer totally slated for due to how he sang it?

I LOVE My Sharona!! How did he come up withthat "Back Beat"? It's brill.

And as for "Sparks"............."This Town Aint Big Enough For The Both Of Us"..........The keyboardist was totally brilliant!

And we must NEVER forget the illustrious "Procal Harem" and "A Whiter Shade Of Pale", the boss of the band was asked on the telly one day what the song was all about. "F&*k me man, I was out of my box on H when I wrote that, I have no idea what it means!!"

Keith Richards was totally out of it flying to a gig in the USA when he woke up with a dream, still out of it he murmered a few lines of a tune he "heard" in his "dream" into a portable tape recorder. Days went past and they were flying home when Kieth was going to scrub the tape to put other stuff onto it and played the last bit "Just to see what was on it".................................Guess what the tune was? "Cann't Get No Satisfaction" Probably the greatest rock/blues song ever written.

And, just for your information. Some of our band were in the same room in the same building that "Wee Annie Lennox" was in when she was told she was crap and would never make it. The group "Nazereth" of "Broken Down Angel" fame were there as well and every last one of us told her not to listen to the record labels, a chap who used to bring in all the C&W groups at that time Andy Daisly told Annie that she was "Too early with her music, give it a couple of years. Just keep going, you will be on top one day really soon" he said..........History records that he was correct.

You love us - Manic Street Preachers. Always makes me feel great, I love the manics and everysong makes me feel great, just cos they were a band that made me see that you should not be ashamed of who you are.

Stripper Vicar - Manson, this song always puts a smile on my face.

anything by the 5,6,7,8's - a very underated band with some of the best pop songs I have ever heard.

Ah, so we're in agreement; My Sharona is possibly the greatest song/guilty pleasure ever created. Fact.

Interestingly enough, if it's a case of performing songs as opposed to listening to them, then my tastes over what will make me feel truly awesome change a fair old bit! Like a bit of musical theatre, and definitely like a bit of the jazzy edge, The amount of times I'll rock into "Have You Met Miss Jones" in an empty room! Even better when there's no shows on at the theatre I work at, and I just invade the stage! That, my friends, is a good feeling.
Probably would be a better feeling if the auditorium was actually filled with adoring fans instead, but hey, it's all progress!
