Definitely a lot of Magma and Pat Metheny for me. 

I find Ryuichi Sakamoto's music uplifting in a very beautiful, spiritual/contemplative, human potential kind of way. 

It's hard to top King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard for sheer uplifting make-you-want-to-dance-ness--though my boys from Boone, NC, Unaka Prong, also have a gift for cheering me up and getting me to want to dance.

Idk if you've heard them already but check out Santana. A lot of their songs are some fun, happy, Latino rock that I have been loving for a while.

I've listened to quite a bit of Magma. I must say that was one of the last bands I expected to find in this thread. But I always think MDK style and they had a long career with different sides to the sound.

 I don't think I've heard Attahk though. I'll check it out.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Gryphon's music is surely uplifting for me.

Such crazy music also is elating for me, depending on my mood.

Hello all,

I've being going through kind of a phase of thinking about all the types of media I consume, reducing social media I don't find fulfilling, etc. 

Simultaneously, someone mentioned Solstice which I've spent a lot of time with in the last weeks, and I realized that at 50+ years, I am leaning towards more positive music. Life is hard enough, I don't need the same nastiness that appealed to me when I was younger, or at least not all the time.

This morning I went back to Moon Safari's Blomljud album which may be the happiest music I own, and it just hit the right note for me.

So I'm wondering - what is your favorite prog for raising your spirits. Uplifting but not saccharine? Obviously, tastes will vary but as a mostly metal guy, I'm exploring some new territory.
