For me it's The Ramones hands down. they always bring me to a good mood. DEVO is a very close second.

A dose of that mid-80's "big music" always lifts me up, as long as it's not too melancholy:
The Alarm - "Rain in the Summertime", "The Stand"
The Waterboys - "The Big Music" (duh), "Church Not Made with Hands", "Whole of the Moon"
U2

Lately it has been Ned's Atomic Dustbin. The lyrics go: "[:p]I will talk, maybe you will listen, but you won't hear a single word I say". Can't recall the title, not enough caffeine this AM.

When I'm down, I watch the "Such A Shame" video from Talk Talk. I don't know why but seeing Mark Hollis make all of those funny facial expressions always makes me feel better. It's weird because the song is so sad yet it cheers me up.
