Okay, so first things first, obviously music is subjective in terms of how it makes each person feel. But there are some artists and bands that just deliver that undeniable "Feel Good" vibe whenever you listen to them. A group that instantly comes to mind is Matt & Kim, whose music is always a cure for me whenever I am feeling bluesy. Other groups that I think of are Big D and the Kids Table (although pretty much all ska music can fall under this category) and *don't hurt me!* Andrew WK, whose music has been a guilty pleasure of mine since high school :P

I'm interested in hearing what the members of Gamespot listen to when they are in a cheery mood, as well as taking out two birds with one stone by way of adding a couple of artists to my Ipod :)

Upbeat, Hard Bop and Big Band/Swing style Jazz usually. Then I'm also big on Dream Pop when I'm in a very cheery mood. A few fun Indie acts like The New Pornographers, Tilly and the Wall, and Stars thrown in from time to time.

Andrew WK. His attitude is so infectious, whenever I hear a song of his you just gotta have fun.

The Beatles, more specifically Octopus's Garden, always puts a smile on my face :)

I just read up on Dream Pop and my interest has been piqued. What bands would you suggest?

Lots of msic but if we are going to name a band that I like then I would go with Blink 182. Youthful stupidity at its best.

60's rock/pop such as The Beatles, The Kinks, and The Beach Boys. Just makes me feel good when ever I listen to it like I should be smiling.

The solo stuff by Anthony Green, Dalas Green, Tegan & Sara, anything by Postal Service, jazz, a lot of old school soul and R&B too. I really like a lot of up beat indie rock.

I like to listen to some Black Sabbath. Children of the Grave really gets my heart pumping and gets me in that feelin' good, ready to take on the world kind of mood.

This is pretty tough one, I've always had hard time to find cheery music...let's try FM Static for example.

Have to agree with SkA covering the feel good theme.

Feel good song would have to be "Now You're a Man" by DVDA, epic.

"dancing shoes" and "you probably couldn't see for the headlights but you were staring straight at me" by arctic monkeys.

Worthy mention also to will smith and the fresh prince of bel air theme tune as well.

Deep house music. It's nice and smooth, and puts me in a good mood. That rhymes. 8)
