What music, album(s), song(s) makes you feel glad to be alive?

[M.A.R.T]

pet sounds, thriller, the shape of punk to come.

[Paulscoconutass]

Goldfinger - Hang Ups .
I select this beast because it's got the perfect blend of musical harmony and bitchin' ska that i've ever stumbled accross. It's such a feel-good album, no matter what mood i'm in i can use it to boost me back up to a decent level of happines. It's a brilliant blend of Ska and Punk, i would probably rate this as one of my favourite albums ever. Every song can be related to by your everyday schmuk - The vocals are beautifuly nailed with chants and melodic parts. I simply love this album; it's that simple. Ther's also a fair bit of brass - although it's just small bits - which adds to the overall happiness of the album.

Jesus, a good question.
I've got say Sugarhill Gang's Rapper's Delight or Jump On It, Grand Master Flashe's "White Lines (Don't Do It) or De La Soul's Three Feet High and Rising Album are all my "big dumb grin" songs and albums. "Ceremony" by New Order makes me want to just sit and watch the world contently. Dead Kennedy's "Plastic Surgey Disasters" makes me glad to be who I am, with the ability and knowlege go express disattisfaction with my surrounds or try and create something that shows it.
