   YOU know the music that makes your spirit lift yet has a touch of gasoline .. Been listening to Frampton2 DVD,, good stuff . U2 360 is a great DVD,, Allmann Bros @ Beacon is un-frickin believable. Stuff like this .. Also Phish for some great Jam.... The B`52's 'wild crowd' is sooo much fun , if your toes aren't waggin with this ,, your not breathing ..  And Gary Moore at Monttrenx is something very special ....   
      Any help here much appreciated as i need MORE ......

What's on right now - the Kinks Village Green (remastered 3 CD set) has some upbeat moments.
People Take Pictures of Each Other is going right now which is a great number.
They were so much fun in concert, too.

I liked much that pretty blonde from B52, but now she is fat... Wild Crowd is a bit wild to me, I prefer Legal Tender, which is an example of the perfect song.

Generally what makes me smile in music is a nice melody and a 4/4 time, as much used by Pink Floyd, but also could mention other songs like:
King Crimson's = only Larks Thoughes in Aspic
Anything from Focus, Eumir Deodato, J.J.Cale, Rick Wakerman, Tangerine Dream, The Can, J.M.Jarre, Alan Parsons Project, Agitation Free, Apollo 100, David Silvyan, Harmonia/Cluster, Micheal Rother etc ...

Many titles from Klaus Schulze, Mike Oldfield, Bread, Eloy, Grace Jones, Grover Washington Jr., John Tropea, Roxy Music etc etc ...
YouTube is plenty of these artist if you want to know.
Good Listenings

How bout a little "Donna and the Buffalo".

Jerry Garcia Band

and

Jack Johnson

gooberdude has some good ones. I saw Galactic recently and that was a real good time. Which makes me think that everyone from New Orleans is fun (like the Meters).

Hey three of the bands mentioned are from my town... Athens, GA... not bad.
