What music puts you in a good mood?

For me it's the beatles.. nothing like the beatles to lift you out of a funk and make you bop your head.

What do you listen to to help with mood?

There's a band called King's X that's not as well known as they should be. They actually began as a Christian/Rock band, and then slid into the hard rock area shortly thereafter. Amazingly enough, they have a very beatlesque (new word there) sound in many of their songs. Allot of harmony throughout and a few songs are obviously modeled after the Beatles. Maybe the Beatles sound is a natural mood elevator?

I like classic hard rock...and this is interesting because I never listened to it while it was contemporarily popular.
I'll check out Kings X!

Crisis, thanks for sharing King's X. I found them on YouTube:



and listened to a couple of their songs. They are good.

A year or two ago I downloaded about 100 songs over the course of a couple months and now I often listen to them when I'm here but if I only had to choose one I guess I'd choose something genuinely Henry Mancini:

my old southern gospel gets me going!

Bebop!
I should add that i do enjoy and appreciate Bluegrass Gospel. My dad used to play it.

Well thankyou for the links! What was interesting about the video to "Believe" is that I know the club it was shot in, and have been there a few times myself. Music is really something I thrive on, and appreciate most every genre, so thankyou for the recco of Mancini as well. Soothing is a good desription I think.

seeker cool! that is alot of what my group sings! woo hoo

This guys singing always puts me in a good mood. He is a good friend and I just love his voice... soo soothing n smooth

he is pretty good! thanks for sharing that!

YVW.. He is such a sweet, nice person. I love him dearly.. We have been friends for gosh at least 7 years now. I just loveeeee his voice....

Am glad you enjoyed listening to him

I guess I'm strange but when I'm in a bad (not sad, just grouchy) mood, uplifting and vibey music tends to induce a very agitated state. I prefer total silence until my mood has passed.

Otherwise, Fall Out Boys and Gwen Stefani (totally different, I know), get my feet tapping.

I'm REALLY eclectic when it comes to music, so i listen to really wide range of stuff. Love the medieaval baebes. The Legendary Shack Shakers when I want something really wild, but for plain old feel good - it has to be Great Big Sea.

any kind of rock and roll, even heavy metal. lol. i don't have specifics because i'm deaf. lol. my hubby has a huge collection of rock and roll cd's. always plays them on the road trips.

Shania Twain,,,, Carly Simon,,,, golden oldies.. cranked up very loud...Beach boys...anything with a beat...

if im already in a good-ish mood, i listen to the benassi bros or any trance music. ut if im in a bad mood of any kind, i listen to sad/angry/other stuff music

You know, I forgot to mention 80's music! I will always love the music from then - lots of feel good stuff.

most music really, I like funky stuff with a beat and rock and soul, euphoric trance, I listen to sad stuff when I'm sad which is probably not a good idea, but it gets the tears out lol

jinny xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

My two top choices would be Beethoven and Mozart.

For me it is Josh Groban or Enya, or country music, or 70's folk...yeah, an odd variety. But they all work.

Elvis' 50's stuff does it for me.

BON JOVI!!!

Well, it use to be Laura Branigan before she died, now it's mainly my dearly beloved oldies from the 60's. I do have one big heartbeat that sets my heart aglow........and that's Amy Grant. Her Heart in Motion is one of the best albums she's ever done!!! All of the songs on that one I like, especially " I Will Remember You". It reminds me of my younger brother and how we used to laugh and sing and play and really related to each other. We were the youngest.
She's a source of inspiration to me. A lot of flack has been going around about her since she divorced Gary, her first husband, but I say " live and let live". She fell out of love
and I doubt if he's that lilly white himself???? I always thought that he was having an affair with his co-host while he had that C/W show for awhile. I think maybe Amy found out and couldn't accept that from him. I don't know? I just feel like there was a connection between those two that shouldn't have been. Now she's happily married to Vince Gill. Jeeez Louise.......let sleeping dogs lie!!! Lot's of people are divorced, that doesn't mean we're all doomed for hell. I don't believe that way myself.
I don't care anyway. As long as she's happy and living a good life. That's all that really counts. Life's too short to live in misery, I say.

I like some Celtic music, the flute, violin, and other instuments used are so peaceful. My favorite songs are called "Celtic Seasons of Worship", i have volumes 2-4.
Another singer of celtic music is "The Best of Sheila Walsh", these can be found through Christian bookstores. Another Christian group I like is "Women of Faith", with their album "Boundless Love" and "Joy, Grace, Love & Peace".
Otherwise I like Country, "John Anderson", and I like "Cher".
