Feelgood tunes

[Funkfarley]

Right, Me again.

Forget bands, artists and headliners.

If on the thursday you could have a group/artist play your favourite feelgood tune for a sunny, drink laden, happy day...what would you go for...?

Me?

The Doves with Pounding (and There goes the fear!)

And ELO with Mr Blue Sky.

A day full of those tunes that make you feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside...

Name your tunes!

For me, it's gotta be Breaking Up by Rilo Kiley. This song got me through a very difficult patch last year and although I managed to sort things out with my boyfriend and we're still together, it gives me the hope and knowledge that should things go wrong again, I'll be okay at the end of it all.

Levellers One way

And

Blondie Atomic

Both great feel good, toe tapping, drunken singing, get you in the mood songs.......

Oooh a couple more

Roam- The B-52s and Doctor Worm- They Might Be Giants. With the latter, it's the fanfare introduction that just gets me.

Girl From Mars - Ash

Heroes - David Bowie

Fun Fun Fun - The Beach Boys

Girls and Boys - Blur

The Day We Caught The Train - Ocean Colour Scene

Would change the next time you asked but they are the first ones that jump out on my ipod.

One day like this by Elbow of course, listening to it now and it is the absolute perfect song for glastonbury as demonstrated last year

Not really a Thursday night tune but I was thinking earlier how good Modest Mouse - Float On would be in an afternoon slot at Glasto.

Have they ever played? Every time I hear it I just think of a sunny field at a festival somewhere. Linking shoulders, swaying from side to side!!

Kiss with a fist - Florence and the Machine

BRILLIANT for listening to on a lovely sunny day.

[Keev]

yep they played an afternoon slot on the other stage in 2007.

[fantomas]

They played at Connect in 2007 but I wasn't in to them much back then so didn't see them.

Float on is a cracking festival tune though.

Free and Alright Now. OK I know Free can't be any more but any of the 'sons of' spin offs such as Queen and Paul Rogers.

I remember listening to it once on the car radio as I drove across Salisbury Plain as dawn broke and the most incredible red sun rose over the horizon.

A great song will often take you back to a place or time or person.

It's also one of those songs that is instantly recogniseable simply from the opening chord
