A tough question with so many good lp's over the years......but I suppose the ones I listened to in college while in an ..ahem..altered state of cosnciousness.    Wink
 
Yes- Yes lp
KC-In The Court....
Genesis-Selling England
ELP-same
.but I suppose the one I go back to time and time again is Court....I never tire of hearing it.

Everything I've heard by Mike Oldfield is happy feel good music. I think the best is Hergest Ridge.

First thoughts are not really prog but one,
 
Sweet - Desolation Blvd.
The Monkees - The Best of...  Embarrassed (I know...sorry, but it makes me smile at the memories and innocence of my youth)
 
Todd Rundgren's Utopia (the album, not the band, never tire of it)

It's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel.
Thanks !!  I have to look into that one.....

It's one of the most highly regarded indie folk albums around.  Either you love it or hate it.  Personally, I love it.

Oh yeah, it's an awesome album. Very nostalgic and beautiful. Please check it out. Approve
Cheers - got an LP copy in my 'watch-list' on E-Bay as we speak - be fixing that up today.  'Indie' isn't my scene, but this one sounds somewhat eclectic and the instrumentation is diverse and interesting.  I hope it works out well.  Absolutely striking art-work, this Magnum fellow must be truly gifted.......

Yeah man, you'll love it. Especially coming from a progressive and experimental background, you'll sure to appreciate it's conceptual structure and exotic instrumentation. I'm surprised you hadn't heard or seen it before. It's quite an iconic album.

Outside of prog anything by the Pogues tends to do the trick. But inside of prog I have 2 main feel good albums, and they're very different. One is Moon Safari's Lover's End, and the other is Sing to God by the Cardiacs.

Not prog at all. But I am a huge fan of the Japanese group Perfume. Their albums Game and JPN are the ultimate feel good, happy, upbeat stuff ever.

This is kind of a weird one, since it is supposed to be a rather depressing album about alcohol abuse, but I love drinking some beer and listening to/singing along with Clutching at Straws by Marillion.  That would have to be my feel-good album.  Confused
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?
