Camel is very popular here. Rightly so!

But for me as a knee-jerk reaction I've gone for 'Apostrophe' by Frank Zappa because I widdled on the Bingo Cards in lieu of the latrine.

I'm too emo to listen to any music that lifts me up.
jk, Moonmadness does the job (Mirage would too, but Lady Fantasy evokes sadness). Hot Rats is always a joyous experience, too.

For a sheer feelgood album, it has to be this:



The band at their peak, having a whale of a time on stage - highly recommend the DVD, too.

As far as a feelgood prog album goes I can always go back to this:



Never, ever get bored of that one.

Those last acts you mention, Tom, aren't exactly cheerfulLOL But I can dig it.

 
That's exactly what I meant.  I find a certain 'comfort' in the unconventional.............

Magma is far from being comfort food, yet I get uplifted by those operatic sprees and the jumpiness of the band which rivals the "feel good" vibe I get from an album such as Alan Parson's I Robot. Not that the two have anything in common....

Oh man, some of those 90's bands like Lush, Suede, Kula Shaker, Aussie band The Clouds, etc....I'd slot so many of their albums/songs into this thread!

I was very much into 60s music during the 90sEmbarrassed The stuff from the 90s I listen to today is mostly electronic such as Future Sound Of London, Prodigy, The Orb, Aphex Twin. Also some Madchester scene, hip hop actually and the odd original metal releases. I'm thinking Neurosis and Marilyn Manson's Antichrist Superstar, which I personally find to be a progressive rock masterpiece, even if it isn't prog. I don't know if that makes sense actuallyLOL

No I haven't actually, and I have to admit that just now is the first time I've thought about The Cardigans for about 10 years or soLOL Damn....Jump straight back into the 90s! Jamiroquai, George Michael, Back Street Boys and a clothing style that beats the 80s in vileness imo:
 

I will however try to find Cardigans' latter day output by way of YouTubeThumbs Up

Oh, yeah, Dave, their Sabbath covers are terrific! I remember reading how they were all big heavy metal nuts, and their record company didn't want them dressing in black, wanted them in psychedelic colours instead, which they hated!

Have you heard any of their later albums? Very moody and rather downbeat, a total reaction against the syrupy fizz they got caught up in! Well worth checking out, you might enjoy those more!

LOL
I used to be a huge Cardigans fan back before they got famous! When they were underground and played some wonderfully unique cover versions of Black Sabbath tunes! 
But yeah, the clip you posted above is when things began to get a wee bit honey afflictedLOL
(I actually paused my Catapilla album for this.....)
