Feel Good Music

[the egg]

I guess it's not really a genre, but i think this is the type of music that everyone can enjoy. Usually a pretty chilled song with a catchy tune...some of my favourites are

Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc
Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling
MGMT - Time To Pretend
Bias B - Hursty
Hellogoodbye - Here In Your Arms
Eminem - Lose Yourself and Like Toy Soldiers
John Swift - Run River (song on the Corona Extra advertisement)

Feel free to get in here and contribute

Funkadelic- Friday Night, August 14th
Eagles of Death Metal- I Gotta Feelin (Just Nineteen)
Eels- Mr E's Beautiful Blues
Air- Sexy Boy
Beck- Where It's At
Queens of the Stone Age/Desert Sessions- Make It Wit Chu

Plenty more from most of those artists, of course.

Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling

This one feels good on the scale of pulling out nostril hair.

 

[omit]

how then hell is "like toy soldiers" a feel good song? it's about proofs murder
same with "time to pretend", the lyrics are actually pretty depressing when you listen to them

the turtles - happy together
the avalanches - frontier psychiatrist
built to spill - car
friendly fires - skeleton boy
the go! team - the wrath of marcie
or montreal - rapture rapes the muses

 

[omit]

oh yeah and bias b is s**t

Sorry maybe i interpreted 'feel good' music wrong. The songs i chose are i like are mainly because they sound chill and maybe not so much the lyrics?

Another one that i dont mind is

Feeder - Just a day

 

[SunKing]

For me nothing says feel good music like the sunshine/bubblegum pop of the mid to late '60s

Stuff like

California Dreaming - mamas and the papas
Groovin - young rascals
Daydream - lovin spoonful
I'm A Believer - the monkees
Windy - the association

 

[Divado]

Phoenix - Too Young, If I Ever Feel Better.

Black Kids - I'm not gonna teach your boyfriend how to dance with me. Twelves Remix/

 

[Powerade 08]

Had to lol at the Black Eyed peas suggestion.
The BEP are actually The Wiggles without skivvies and anyone over 12 who listens to them should be embarrassed.

Fleet Foxes - White Winter hymnal
Spoon - You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb
Animal Collective - My Girls
Of Montreal - Gronlandic Edit

i have a few strange ones in here but they work for me when i feel like a mood change:

• bad day-daniel powter
• warmth of the sun - beach boys
• love changes everything - climie fisher
• your song - elton john
• she makes my day - robert palmer
• stop your fussin - toni childs
• she's leaving home - the beatles
• god only knows - beach boys

seem to do the trick

 

[braith88]

I find that the Smiths is great to lift the mood and make one feel fantastic about themself.

 

[SunKing]

i have a few strange ones

• she's leaving home - the beatles

Your not wrong

 

[hirdy_is_champ]

eurodance stuff

What is Love - Haddaway
Eins Zwei Plizei - Mo-DO

fun upbeat dance music which doesn't take itself seriously. also goes off if you're tanked

 

[XFactor1979]

nina simone - feeling good

 

[MC Bad Genius]

all these songs make me grin stupidly and relax when i hear them, no matter what. i think they all come under feel good music.

outkast - hey ya
vampire weekend - mansard roof
cake - short skirt, long jacket
dave dobbyn - slice of heaven
deep sea arcade (sydney band who will be HUGE) - lonely in your arms
dr dog - old news
jamie lidell - multiply
spoon - the way we get by
time fite - big mistake

 

[omit]

hey ya is another one i find strange, while i don't deny it has a very pop and happy beat/tempo. lyrically it's about a break up / struggling relationship

in fact a line in the song actually points out the fact it's a depressing song with a catchy beat - "yall don't want to hear me, ya'll just wanna dance"

i'd always thought he was saying that he didn't want a serious relationship and was trying to tell his girl that he just wants to have fun.

but to be honest, im not the best at hearing the right lyrics ... or interpreting them it seems.

Good call, Gary.
