We've just been listening to the Ultimate 100 feel good songs on one of the Sky Music channels and it reminded me of when I used to car share on the way to work.
More often than not we'd get stuck in traffic driving home on a Friday and used to get the "Friday feel good factor" CD out.
This was a CD we'd compiled of our favourite feel good tunes to play on the way home to turn the journey from hell into a prelude to our Friday night out.
From what I can remember it included:
Don't stop me now - Queen
Tiger Feet - Mud
Groove is in the heart - Dee-lite
Edge of Heaven - Wham
So what songs really give you that "Feel Good Factor"?
Tiesto's Adagio for strings always gets me going
Shiny happy people - rem
hootie and the blowfish - hold my hand
Pendulum - slam
OOOoo I could go on......and on........and on
H.x
A song I've always felt good after listening to, is 'Walking on Sunshine' by Katrina and the Waves. That never fails to get my head nodding and my feet tapping!
Also have to mention 'Ready to Go' by Republica (currently being used on the Halfords ad). Not sure if it qualifies as a feel good song, but it's a good song to get you all pumped up!
Lot's of good tunes so far but for me it would have to be almost anything from ELO (Mr Blue Sky at the top of the list). Mind you, one which has got me singing along lately is .
It brings back many memories of when I was a punk rocker and when I actually had hair :cry:
I'm with Sheddy, Libertines are great, and the Levellers have many memories that can't help but make me smile but it has to be Just the One, for me.
Queen - We are the Champions
Any thing by Greenday,foo fighters etc (bit of energy music)
I put on Kubb's 'Mother' cd when I want a boost of energy or one of my trance cds. Great for doing the housework too :thumbup:
If I really want to blast the music up and let rip (no comment here Dawnie), for me, it has to be
Achilles Last Stand - Led Zeppelin
Its come up and see me by Steve Harley Cockney Rebel
Walking On Sunshine........ Katrina and the Waves........
Guaranteed to make me smile.......... and more recently......
My Hips Don't Lie... Shakira..... brilliant tune.... definitely makes me dance ..... lol
