Songs that make your day Awesome

As the title implies: What are the songs that can make your day awesome, rain, snow, sleet or apocalypse, just on the listening? What songs can make life seem absolutely peachy, even after you got an F on your paper, your burger came out wrong at Carl's Jr., or your dog died?

My own list:

Spanish Nights (I Remember Them Well) by Blackmore's Night. The Ponderous guitar work at the start let me know the song would be good. The double drum hit before the song starts lets me know the song will be awesome

Inner Universe, off the GitS:SAC soundtrack. The song's mix of beautiful, slow lyrics and fast tempo electronica makes me almost transcendentally happy.

The Storm, also by Blackmore's night. It's a badass song about a badass storm.

Red Fraction, off the Black Lagoon (anime) OST. Awesome song, even if the entire thing is sung in bad engrish.

Knights of Cydonia and Starlight, both from Muse. To loosely quote someone I don't remember, 'Knights of cydonia is 6 minutes of genius'. And Starlight is just generally huggy and uplifting for me. Even if I can't sing falsetto.

And... perhaps the most strange song of the bunch... Vocaloid does the Ievan Polka

Muse is awesome. I would agree with those two songs that cheer me up no matter what. I would add Hysteria and Time is Running Out to those two.

Death Cab for Cutie- Soul Meets Body
Paul Oakenfold- Ready, Steady, GO and Southern Sun
The Beatles- In My Life

And most of all the Badger Song.

Judas Priest - Hell Patrol (Ignore lame movie)

It's my current "listen to to death and then some on constant loop" song.

NOFX - Linoleum

Allways reminds of how great it is to own as little as possible.

Deadly Sinners, and Goat Rider's Horde by 3 Inches of Blood, Dracula by Iced Earth and some of the more triumphant In Flames song. They usually get me fired up to the point where I forget being sad.

My favorite song by my favorite band:

Big Country - Wonderland

I remember coming in from Uni after a real crappy day, having to walk home due to a bus drivers strike, not really wanting to play inthe BF2 match I'd agreed to, but doing it anyway.

The load up music for the map was Mr. Blue Sky by ELO.

Picked my mood right up.

I would have to say John Mayer's "Bigger Than My Body" and "Wheel" make my day awesome.

What is the offical name of the Big-O "Battle Music" from season-one? I have a version of it on my I-Tunes that is just called "Big-O"

I love playing it as I face bosses in WoW, it always makes things Awesome.

I believe it's called "Stand a Chance".
