Gentle Giant's The Missing Piece is full of cheerful songs, instrumentally, anyway.

Just because something isn't upbeat doesn't mean it won't cheer you up, right? So why not go with a prog classic that most progheads enjoy? (You think of one.)

If it doesn't have to be prog (although this thread is in the prog lounge), then ... why not go with anything from Gil Scott-Heron (for the vibe of the songs, not the messages in the lyrics)?

Shiny Happy People by REM. You didn't say a song that could cheer someone up without making them nauseous.

when I really need to cheer up I listen to early Neil Young (Harvest, After the Gold Rush). This puts my problems in perspective and I suddenly find myself very happy not to be Neil Young.

Removed due to PA's deliberated act of deleting threads as alleged featuring negative behaviour posts towards others.

Prelude: Song of the Gulls/Islands - King Crimson (among others, and yes i do group these two together, because they should've been as such on the original album)

Dead Babies by Alice Cooper

Rock and Roll Suicide by David Bowie

Gabriel's vocal workout on The Battle of Epping Forest has cheered up a few people I know in the past who'd never heard it before. They laughed in astonishment.
