I am addicted to making playlists. I make them for everything. Cleaning, studying, driving, walking, cooking, falling asleep ... There's something very soothing for me about picking out the right songs for any occasion. In another post, I mentioned that I'm taking steps in Depression Intervention and one of those steps is putting together a playlist of songs to keep me feeling upbeat and motivated. I put together a pretty good one filled with some of my favourites that I've been listening to most of today. The thing is, I also get bored pretty easily, and I'm always on the hunt for new tunes, so I thought I'd start a music thread. What does everyone like to listen to when they want to fight up the blues and stay upbeat and motivated? It can be anything at all. In my playlist right now I have everything from Journey to the 1812 Overture to Lady Gaga. Absolutely anything goes! I'll start (in no particular order):

- The Way You Do The Things You Do -- Temptations
- You and Your Hand -- Pink
- Lost Highway, It's My Life, Welcome to Wherever You Are -- Bon Jovi
- Waking Up In Vegas -- Katy Perry
- Livin' La Vida Loca -- Ricky Martin
- Isn't She Lovely -- Stevie Wonder
- I'm Yours -- Jason Mraz
- When I'm Up (I Can't Get Down) -- Great Big Sea
- Be A Clown -- Gene Kelly & Judy Garland
- Crocodile Rock -- Elton John
- Summer Sunshine -- The Corrs
- Summer of '69 -- Bryan Adams
- For the Longest Time -- Billy Joel
- Don't Stop the Music -- Rihanna
- La Bamba -- Leon Thomas (soundtrack to August Rush)
- 1812 Overture -- Tchaikovsky (if this doesn't make you feel triumphant I don't know what will!)
