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)?

| 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. |

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. ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |

that's what I call a "wailing song". the horrid vocals, especially the male ones and the background vocals, the fake string accompaniment. songs like this don't cheer me up, they drag me down. not even Hackett can save this ------------- A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

Those late 70s Genesis "pop" songs always cheer me up - although most Genesis fans point to these songs as "beginning of the end"....Your Own Special Way and Follow You, Follow Me, lovely pop songs. ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |
