Anything like The Soft Bulletin album by the Flaming Lips
El Opium:
I think that Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev will appeal to anyone who likes The Soft Bulletin. David Friddman, who was a Flaming Lips member until 1990 or so and who has continued to produce their albums is the band's leader..
Kid Modernist:
If you're looking for happy music without the (some say over-)produced sound of Flaming Lips, check out Belle and Sebastian.
Steve Burns' Songs for Dustmites is a surprisingly good album (He was the first host of Blues Clues) and was produced by the same guy who pros the FL, and also the drummer from said band.
nescience:
Here are some records I'd recommend off the top of my head:
The Polyphonic Spree - In The Beginning Stages Of...
Super Furry Animals - Guerrilla or Rings Around the World
Grandaddy - The Sophtware Slump
Secret Machines - September 000
Tahiti 80 - A Piece of Sunshine
XTC - Skylarking
These are all pieces of vaguely psychedelic happy music that are similar to Soft Bulletin-era Flaming Lips.
surefunk:
i'm gonna second the super furry animals suggestion, especially "love kraft". different from the soft bulletin, but similarly theatric and expansive. can't really imagine someone liking one and not the other.
but my imagination is weak, i suppose.
