Your ultimate feel good album

The B52s work for me. Hearing Rock Lobster always makes me smile

David Bowie - "Let's Dance" - went to a great party out in the rural area's of Poverty Bay, NZ in 1984. I remember we played that album solidly and everyone just loved it for the "partying" inducing atmosphere.

They were actually very naughty, debauchered and wicked things lol!     As for the B-52's, saw them a couple of years back when they played Melbourne....quite a disappointing experience. The girls were great and brought some serious energy and positivity, but dear old Fred made no effort whatsoever, appeared in a supremely bad mood and made it clear he didn't want to be there. Thanks for taking our money, though, Fred, happy to help out.... On the plus side, they played most of their killer debut album AND `Mesopotamia' - one of my favourites, and very underrated!

Indeed, the Go Go's were def into their partying from what I've heard.....

I remember distinctly in HS when the Mesopatamia tour had swung through town.....there were tons of kids wearing their very cool Mesopotamia tees the next and looking really tired.....

Last time I saw Fred on TV he looked a little long in the tooth.....your show sounds exactly like Fish acted when I saw them....Marillion was great, but Fish was not happy to be there.

Beardfish's Sleeping In Traffic Pt. 2.  It's got that epic silliness to it that just makes me happy.

Oh, and a great instrumental album that always makes me feel good is Jeff Becks' Blow by Blow.

I saw SABB, TFTO, The Best of Bee Gees ... very nice.

The Go-Go's - Beauty and the Beat

Funny, I thought of this as soon as I saw the thread title 

I remember buying this album at a record store at college back in 1981 and the clerk told me I was the first person in Helena, Montana to own a Go-Gos album.  Not sure if that's true but for sure none of my friends liked it.  I still listen to a lot of Go-Gos on my iPod while running.  Billie Joe Armstrong's "Unforgiven" from their 2011 album is one of the best tunes ever to finish a run with.

For me this one always brings a smile and some great memories.  My folks were stodgy hard-core Baptists but I found this buried in my Dad's closet when I was a kid and it was awesome.  I still have it!
