Mine = Tomcraft - Loneliness, and Puretone - Addicted to Bass

No Happy Mondays Ian... shame! But yeah, the Mondays stuff is class depression busters, colourfull music. Class lyrics, and very cool sounds, make ya sing and dance to it (like Bez for that matter! ). Ultimate Happy music.

Have to totally agree with that statement

QOTSA 'Go With The Flow' always puts me in a good mood, can't really explain why

I'm gonna have to check a lot of these out! Youtubed The Safety Dance the other night, first time seeing it. Definitely Depression Busting music, or at least video. In fact, one without the other would just be weird and wrong!

Shryke

To Be Young by Ryan Adams. Kick ass song. I discovered it as it's in Old School.
Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl.
Moby - We Are All Made of Stars.
Anything by the Pixies.
Queen - Don't Stop Me Now.
Talking Heads especially Burning Down the House and Life During Wartime.
anything CCR.
Iggy Pop - Lust for Life.
Kings of Leons first album.
Any Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Depression raping music at its best.

Good man, Pills 'n' Thrills is a great album for the aul' happyness, I think Lazyitis is also a great song for it.
