      "LOG" is fantastic, but I would have said "Communique", one of those albums that has to be listened to on vinyl or cassette. Supertramp and Steely Dan, absolutely.

    Wucan “Heretic Tongues” so freaking good! It’s like Tony Iommi never left Jethro Tull and Ian Anderson is a kickass female singer
    Rolling Stones “Tattoo You”
    Dave Gilmour “On an Island” somewhere between chill out and feel good
    Paul Simon “Graceland”
    The Who “Who’s Next”
    The Beatles “Abbey Road” particularly the Suite and the Harrison stuff
    Speaking of Tull, “Minstrel in the Gallery.” You know that unbelievably depressing song that makes you feel better anyway? One White Duck is that song for me
    Pink Floyd “Momentary Lapse of Reason.” Not a great record but I was 12 when it came out and I played the grooves off it once I had tickets to see them in the old Foxboro Stadium
    Joe Bonamassa “Dust Bowl”
    Styx “The Grand Illusion”

    @griefforest1870 5 місяців тому +5

    I actually made two lists a couple of months ago where I analyzed which albums I put on when I'm feeling good or down in the dumps. One or two actually made both lists.
    In no particular order:
    #1 ABBA Voulez - Vous
    Always got time for them, especially this album! Ain't nothin' like coming home from a long train trip, freshen up and crank up some ABBA!
    #2 Jackson Browne - Holdout
    Any Jackson Browne is fine with me, but this album in particular, starting with Disco Apocalypse and featuring Call it a loan, one of his best songs. The first time I listened to it there was rain and it was a stressful day but this turned around my mood.
    #3 Steve Winwood - Arc of a Diver One of the best albums I've ever heard, similar style to Browne: Breezy, Rock / Pop / Soul numbers with lots of piano and good grooves and intelligent lyricism.
    #4 The Beatles A Hard Days Night
    As much as I love the later stuff oftentimes I cite this as my favourite Beatles album. You can dance it to it, walk a couple miles, do chores...
    #5 Iron Savior Firestar I'm rather particular when it comes to Power Metal, but the second I heard the title track I just knew this album will be a special one. Actually made it very high on my year end list, I think 3rd or 4th place. One of their best!
    #6 Patti Smith Group - Wave
    Whereas Horses is also very high on my alltime favourite albums list, it's too poetic and abstract. Radio Ethiopia is too dark, and Easter is too complex musically for counting as a feel good album. This however features some unused Blue Öyster Cult songs, of course "Frederick", "Dancing Barefoot", and one which is always a good time: "So you want to be a rock'n'roll"
    #7 Camel - Moonmadness
    Although Prog not does not always comes to mind, this Camel album in particular is just a joy to listen too. Sometimes you're not all energized but still content and this is the perfect soundtrack for that.
    #8 Jean Luc Ponty - Enigmatic Ocean
    Breezy, but still uplifting fusion of the highest class. I don't have to say much about it. More than words, literally in this case of an instrumental album!
    #9 The Alan Parsons Project - Eye in the Sky
    Similar to Camel, whereas I might prefer their prog leanings of the earlier albums I don't mind their synthesizer pop years at all, and on this one you've got a couple fiery guitars still and just melodies to melt away to.
    #10 Buddy Holly - Buddy Holly
    Always got time for 50s Rock'n'Roll, with Buddy Holly being a secondary favourite next to Chuck Berry. Songs such as Peggy Sue, Everyday, Words of Love and Rave on are legendary for a reason. I actually discovered him via the Beatles, believe it or not.

      They were great both times but I haven't listened to their music since the sad passing of Edgar Froese in 2015 - it wouldn't be the same without him, though I hope they continue to enjoy success going forward.

    I used to play drums in a black/heavy metal-ish band and had a whole sort of day ritual to prepare, or "psych myself up" for doing a show. It would involve listening to at least some albums that made me feel sort of primed and, well, good. One of those was always Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, but the others often weren't metallic music as such but groovy, "rhythmic" albums that made me feel charged and really great about playing the drums, like Can's Ege Pamyasi and, indeed, jeff Beck's Blow by Blow. For a while there I was living with a partner who didn't at all understand why I "psyched myself up" with albums like that and I think would have preferred something more in line with the heaviness to come. Tried to explain to her that the albums made me feel good and like I needed to play music and that's why they got me in the vibe.Anyway, great list here. Going for the One is definitely Yes at their more soaring and majestic, and actall, I realy like th demo bonus versions of soe of the songs on the CD, which are quite a bit rawer in an awesome way.

    @ScottBerry-yn8rw 5 місяців тому +1

    Some excellent picks Pete! I've never actually sat down and thought about my favorite "feel good" albums, although I have many
    feel good songs. Most of my favorite albums kinda go up and down and some are downright dark and depressing. So this is what I
    came up with off the top of my head, in no particular order:
    1. The Beatles - Revolver (Obligatory and still an amazing listen today.)
    2. Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy (Most of the album is pretty upbeat. The Rain Song is slower, but I find it uplifting, beautiful
    and just plain joyful. The only song with a dark tone is No Quarter. Maybe not "feel good", but I love it.
    3. Van Halen - Women and Children First (I'm with ya 100% on this one! This was my first VH album and I played the shit out of it in the
    Summer of 1980. You didn't mention "In A Simple Rhyme", which is my favorite track and fits this theme perfectly.)
    4. Steely Dan - Aja (Every song is winner and I never tire of hearing it.)
    5. The Replacements - Let It Be (I had three Replacements albums I could have picked, but this one is probably the most fun. It's funny,
    it's raw, it rocks, and they even do a cool cover of Kiss' Black Diamond.)
    6. Rush - Moving Pictures (My personal favorite Rush album and the songs always take me back to when I first heard them at 15.)
    7. Sugar - Copper Blue (One of the best alternative rock/pop albums ever. "If I can't Change Your Mind" is perfection.)
    8. Santana - Santana III (The original band at the peak of their powers, a smoking, uplifting set that never lets up.)
    9. Souhat - Live At The Black Cat Lounge (I doubt anyone out there ever heard this album, but for anyone that lived in Austin in the early 90's and
    saw them live, it's just magical and brings back a lot of good memories for me. Maybe you had to be there. Even if you weren't, here's the next best thing. Great, funky jam band.)
    10. Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - Damn The Torpedoes (My favorite Petty album and the deep cuts are just as strong as the hits. Timeless.)

  • @ivohabets4335
    @ivohabets4335 4 місяці тому

    I like this one! Without too much thinking:
    Journey - Evolution (that's a no brainer: Lovin touchin squeezin, one of the songs that makes me start singing as loud as I can - not very nice for the neighbours)
    Rush - Rush (because it starts with Yeah, ooh yeah)
    Arno - Idiots savants (probably no one in the US knows this one 🙂)
    Ivy - Apartment Life
    Black Sabbath - Paranoid
    Buffalo Tom - Let me come over
    AC/DC - any from Let there be Rock to Highway to Hell - I'll pick Let there be rock
    Therapy? - Troublegum (now there's a story to this one. In the years when I was at my ultimate low, I used to play this one really loud when I was feeling totally shit, and the aggression of the first seven songs could take away my feelings)
    John Coltrane - Ole Coltrane
    Indochine - "3"
    Something like that. Makes me wanna listen to these once again. Thanks!

Thank the engineers for remastering CD's (which I have the "Face Value" 2 CD set with bonus tracks BUT the 45 single remix version of "In The Air Tonight" is missing)!!! I also got Santana "Zebop!" on album which I also got for my birthday (later bought on remastered CD).

    Nice take on what is a "comfort album." I've watched those other videos and made my list. Of those the ones that fall within your "feel good" take are:
    (1) An Innocent Man (Billy Joel) reminds me of my teen years, MTV videos.
    (2) Boston (debut) is another one that reminds me so much of my teen years. From the moment I first heard "More Than a Feeling" on FM radio I knew I needed that LP. Haven't stopped listening to it.
    (3) New World Record (ELO). This is far more recent. Specifically during the pandemic. I was familiar with ELO but never really deep dived into their discography until the pandemic. Their amazing prog/art pop rock really helped get me through those challenging days.

    Rush - Moving Pictures (first Rush album I ever heard, and my dad showed it to me)
    Electromancer - Drone City (side project of guitarist Paul Wardingham. It combines his style of metal guitar with his love of 80s synth music. More Than Machine is the standout track)
    Boston - Boston (Come on! How can you not feel good listening to this album?!)
    Devin Townsend - Ziltoid the Omniscient (the amazing music. The quirky humor. This album is just fun!)

In the end the pub owner just took the single out to give me as he was 'sick to death' of hearing the track. Thumbs up for Steely Dan's 'The Royal Scam'...a perfect album. Even decided to raid the bank account to buy my first, and probably last, UHQR version (costing around £200 here in the U.K)

    For me is more about specific sings, and/or genres that do the trick. So, cannit really oick 10 bands but these always make me feel good/happy:
    - Saga: the early releases up to the mid 80s
    - The Wallflowers
    - Collective Soul

    Great video, Pete! Concur on Permanent Waves and Allied Forces! But nothing makes me as happy as Gentle Giant's Free Hand! The title cut still makes me laugh.

    Great video. Back to the Egg is IMO the 2nd best Wings album. Women & Children First I can listen to over and over even though I’ve heard it 500x already.

    I'm not sure if i have 10 but i certainly have 5! The police- Ghosts in the machine, Boston-Self titled album, Brian May-Last Horizon, Rush- Power Windows and Eric Clapton- Behind the Sun. These albums always warm my heart not just because of nostalgia but also the messages a lot of the music convey being uplifting, motivational and positive.
