    Love Generation - Bob Sinclar.
    How could you not be happy whilst listening to this?

    Sweet Disposition - The Temper Trap.
    Not sure why, but always makes me realize how good, and important, some of the small things in life are.

    Fluorescent Adolescent - Arctic Monkeys.
    Just enjoy the upbeat, lightly-humorous, nature of the song.

    Time to pretend - MGMT.
    I don't take drugs, but if I did, I'd take them while listening to this.

    Diamonds by Rihanna was on the radio when I got out of the car and back into the car (stupid commercial radion stations) when I was off to buy my wife's engagement ring. Not really a coincidence, I think it was #1 at the time. Still reminds of the 3rd most expensive thing I ever bought after my house and car!


    Darude - Sandstorm is the proper one though. It came out right at my teenage disco stage happy times. It's still on my gym and running playlist, I train like a mad man when it comes on shuffle.

    Touch Me I'm Going to Scream - My Morning Jacket
    Used to listen to this a lot whilst getting stoned. It's such a beautiful, intense journey of a song, it always makes me happy. It's one song that always grabs my attention and takes control of my mind, probably why it's such a good one to get stoned to.

    I can't see the youtube clips atm so I don't know if it's been mentioned, but The Boys Of Summer by Don Henley pulls me back to a particular time and place. It's fair to say it was the best time I've ever had, but not to say that the rest is a drag.

    It's also bittersweet because you know you can't go back, and the song seems to perfectly capture that slightly melancholy nostalgia.

    In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.
