Ah Reiyuka, I love so much music, you may as well ask me what is the meaning of life- the answer would probably be easier. You're right as well, alot depends on the mood one is in at the time.That isn't an answer though is it? Well here's a "little" slice of what I like.
Really good stuff that just plain makes me happy:
Stampeders "Sweet City Woman", The Offspring "Why Don't You Get A Job?", Modest Mouse "float on", April Wine "Could Have Been a Lady", Dub Pistols "Cyclone", Russian Red Army Choir "Kalinka", Three Dog Night "Joy To The World", The theme from "Zorba The Greek", Electric 6 "Gaybar"(perhaps the coolest guitar piece ever), Cole Porter's "Begin The Beguine"
A great singer makes a big impression on me, and there's something I love about vocal harmonics like Queen "Somebody to love" and the Dixie Chicks "Long Time Gone" . Then there's"Cold Cold Heart" -Nora Jones with her voice like chocolate, and I mean the good stuff, smooth alpenmilch thats been milled a bizillion times. Philosopher kings "Charms", "Cry", Ray Charles "Can't Stop Loving You" ..... Soooo Many.....
Then there's music from being in love: Berlin "Take My Breath Away" -yeah it's a stupid standard but hey, I was in love. Everclear "Santa Monica", Texas "Say What You Want" -both for a gal that proved I can fall again, and perhaps the sexiest song in the universe, Led Zeppelin's "Dyer Maker"
And the tiny native bit of my heritage knows there's something to be said for just getting up and losing yourself in the beat: try Despani Vandi "Gia", Jamiroquai "Little L", Ferry Corsten "Rock Your Body, Rock"
AAaarrgh! so many
