It would be 80s hair metal every time for me.

Bon Jovi- 99 In The Shade

Tyketto- Wings (not made in the 80s but in the genree nonetheless)

Tygertailz- Love Bomb Baby

Maybe Bat Out Of Hell/All Revved Up/Paradise By The Dashboard Light

... and Paper Lace's Billy Don't Be A Hero  :blush

Uh...

...The closing theme to the first series of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.

I love me some power-jazz.
This is as exciting as superluminal neutrinos. The sexy thing is that this actually exists :D

There are some fantastic tunes in there folks keep em comming!! :-)
The creation and destruction of harmonic and 'statistical' tensions is essential to the maintenance of compositional drama. Any composition (or improvisation) which remains consonant and 'regular' throughout is, for me, equivalent to watching a movie with only 'good guys' in it, or eating cottage cheese.

Not that other songs are bad choices, but how did we reach page two without a mention of Rich by Marillion.  Rainbows and sunshine out of all orifices that song is.

I always click on this thread thinking "now I'll have something to say" and then I don't. I can't remember a tune I'd call "my happy tune", or at least not in five seconds :lol

Without giving it much thought, probably a handful of songs by both Kansas and Neal Morse.

Normaly I think Spock's Beard makes the most boring music in prog history but they really made something awesome with "Edge of the In-Between". That song puts me in a good mood.

a-Ha- The Sun Always Shines on TV
Icehouse- Electric Blue

The list could go on forever.
Perhaps you should ask bosk to reverse the "e" and "a" in the second half of your user name.

Anything by A Great Big Pile of Leaves. Their songs are all so happy. If I had to pick one, it would probably be We Don't Need Our Heads: a song about kids with reckless abandon just having fun.
prog sucks
Even if you're not serious, I'm going to pretend you are and use this as proof that not all heroes wear capes.
