I'll start -
Van Morrison - Astral Weeks
Video or audio is appreciated!
PS -> Is it a sign that I'm a true nerd that I experience actual (albeit low-level) trepidation about starting a topic that might bomb? I mean, what will that do for my forum rep?
Nah, we're music nerds. We'll make lists till the day we die (AND BE PROUD OF IT).
Anyways - I'm interested to hear your answers.
Also - Sufjan Steven's "That Dress Looks Nice on You"

Cheesy, but 'Hard Sun' by Eddie Vedder (off the INTO THE WILD OST) can always make me feel pretty good.

This cover of BBR's 'Start as you mean to go' by Katsen.
I just loved the energy and raw melody/vocal mix in it,
made me very happy!

I wasn't sure what to think the first time this got played to me, but I think I have to agree with you guys on this one.
Also........... for me, it's this:
beautiful beautiful beautiful. Disney movies lost a lot when they went the way of the Broadway musical, with all the characters dancing around and wailing like idiots. This is way better.

Hard Sun - i had heard it was aremake but had never heard the original.. great!
The Rescuers.. hot damn. I feel sorry for kids who grow up today with all the ADD shows & movies. The oldies are just fantastic. I also loved Robin Hood

i love the original rescuers.
here are a couple of songs that make me happy to be alive:
girls - hellhold ratrace
something about bleak helplessness of our generation that really resonates with me. "some times you just gotta make it for yourself"
dom - living in america
this guys one of my friends from highschool. hes blowing up and getting reviewed on pitchfork. makes me happy to know that SOMEONE around me is actually making it! plus the songs super catchy.
the black dog - 3/4 heart
autechre - bike
these early nineties electronica tracks remind me of a time when electronic music was new and crazy to me. they predict a hyper-civilized future with flying cars and cyberspace. since we're never gonna get to see that, i listen to this.
