Mood Music
Be My Head:
I listen to Romantic and Impressionist music when I'm feeling melancholy, as well as some modern movie score composers (Hisaishi!!). I generally blast some metal or hardcore punk when I'm in an energetic or angry mood.
When I'm feeling average I listen to everything else really. I couldn't tie any certain mood to a specific kind of music. Let's just say, heavy = mad/energetic, Soft = sad, Epic/poppy = happy.
Some music I listen to purely for the experience and it has little emotion tied to it, like Aphex Twin or Toru Takemitsu.
Mr. Doctor:
From the beginning I thought that I listened to my music depending on my mood...
But after a while I realized that it was bullshit... Because it happens really often that I'm hearing a really really depressing song and I feel happy.
So yeah... I don't hearing music depending on my mood. I just hear whatever style depending if I want to listen to it or not. I can listen to grindcore and then switch to Björk in just a couple of minutes.
Zingoleb:
When I'm feeling really upset and feeling close to have a psychotic breakdown I have a playlist of really upbeat happy music that helps to pull me out of it sometimes.
I have a playlist called "In Waking We Grow, In Dreaming We Thrive" which is a strange mix of music that should be played without any lights on in the dark. Iron & Wine, classical music, Karl Sanders...

I do both, honestly. Sometimes if I'm feeling sad I'll put on something ridiculously mopey (*cough*Smiths*cough*) or other times I'll put on something a bit more light.
There are some extremes where I'll have to be in just about the absolute opposite mood from the record to balance out the whole thing; for example, I can only really listen to Merzbow in moments when I'm completely calm and content, otherwise it's way too annoying to even consider listening to.

The responses above have been strictly on bitter or unhappy moods. Belle & Sebastian generally puts a smile on my face regardless of circumstance as I can often relate to the lyrics anyway, that brings me to ask what music just makes you happy?
