I just started it yesterday and it's only got two entries. But it's trolling-stones.livejournal.com if you're really that interested. ^__^

Edit: According to some of my mates IRL, the info on the Metallica-sucks bit is inaccurate. So don't bother with that one.

There's a guy in my chemistry class who I had an argument with this about. He actually attempted to tell me that Load was a great album. I could understand arguments that it was marginal (maybe), but great just baffled me.

Good cheer-up music, or just general happy music, would be any and all Beatles singles.

What about "Elanor Rigby" or "She's Leaving Home" or "And I Love Her" or "Yesterday" or "Nowhere Man"?  All sad in my opinion.

Eleanor Rigby and Yesterday, certainly. I wouldn't say Nowhere Man is necessarily sad musically. Lyrically, maybe.

Okay, fair enough for Eleanor Rigby, She's Leaving Home, and Yesterday. But Nowhere Man is most certainly a cheer-up song. It's like "Come on man, try it, it's fun, you don't know what you're missing!"

They totally wrote it about some kind of stimulant.

yeah, beatles are pretty happy when they aren't writing songs about people dying or a psycopath killing his girlfriend with a hammer.

At least "Maxwell Silver Hammer" resolves on a major chord. It's happy serial murder!

Maxwell's Silver Hammer is one of the Beatle's happiest songs. Almost crazily happy.

Pre-Rubber Soul Beatles is about 2/3 happy.

Ohh, if you want happy, get The Rutles! They're spoofing Beatles songs, but because it's a spoof even the spoof sad ones are happy.

People are going to hate me, but... I liked Metallica's Black Album.

I kinda grew up with it though. I'm a youngin'.

Maybe whimsical is a better adjective.

Songs with fast, bouncy horn sections always make me happy.

"Walking on Sunshine" -- happy!
"Late in the Evening" by Paul Simon -- very happy!
The Black Crowes' "Hard to Handle" was already awesome, but I've heard a version that included a horn track == teh more awesome and happy.

I saw them on the Wednesday after you in Newcastle. They were totally awesome, and great fun too. Herman Li makes great faces when he plays solos :)

As for songs that make me happy,

Eagles of Death Metal - I only want you
Stratovarius - Eagleheart
No Doubt - Hella good (yes, its lame as hell, but by the gods it makes me want to dance)
Deerhoof - Panda (the QC strip about this song is great, and every time I hear it I get a huge grin on my face)

but the music sucks because the keyboards don't have the cold/mechanical sound they had but a wannabe techno sound that it's pathetic for Rammstein standars.

so called 'happy' music at best irritates, and at worst disgusts me. Almost everything listed in this thread seems to work on some sort of pathetic fallacy placebo idea, mindless pap and sugar.

The music that makes me happiest, well, gotta be Skyclad.

"Come one, come all to our travelling circus
Cast off your cares for THE painted parade,
Whirl down the wynd like Dervish berserkers,
If life hands us lemons, we'll make lemonade!"

Can't beat that. Other bands that would find their way onto lists designed to cheer me up:

Children of Bodom, Impaled Nazarene, Korpiklaani, Contrastic, Laibach, Rammstein, VNV Nation, Finntroll, Twisted Sister, Manowar, Wuthering Heights, Waylander, Oomph!, Meat Loaf, HammerFall, Nazgul, Blue Oyster Cult, Cryptic Wintermoon, El Running Wild, Eläkeläiset, certain Current 93, Inkubus Sukkubus, Judas Priest, Hanzel und Gretyl, The Sisters of Mercy, Alice Cooper, Immortal, Viking Skull etc.

Anything upbeat, defiant, hedonistic etc. 'brotherhood of metal' stuff always gets me going, as does any metal with humppa or tin whistles.

In fact, to be honest, good music just cheers me up. Unless it's crushingly depressing, like My Dying Bride's 'Turn Loose the Swans' or something.

To each his own, mate. ^__^ Personally, "Semicharmed Life" by Third Eye Blind is probably my favourite ZOMG LETS BE ST00PID AND HAEV A GOOD TYME song. And Led Zeppelin's "D'yer Mak'er" is just plain fun, the drum beat is just plain awesome.
