<div class="IPBDescription">Find any?</div> I don't listen to emo or anything, I just listen to pure hard music. But sometimes, very rarely, it doesn't get by.

I've been listening to Vertical Horizon all day.. and I only have one of their CDs.. I'm looking for some music that is positive sounding. Theres just a few times where I don't feel like being mad. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Anything? I guess use Vertical Horizon as a benchmark.

    Yes!


    Come on, it's like the anti-emo. By nature it's happy, bouncy music that's fun to listen to. Try some Farse, Dancehall Crashers, Mad Caddies or The Slackers. Or go oldschool and try some Madness, Bad Manners, The Specials or The Slector.

    Uhm, all types of music? I personally don't classify Final Fantasy soundtracks as music.

    Reel Big Fish.

    How about some Bob Marley, that's got a pretty positive message.

    Favorite band right there. My dad might consider sending me to europe when some concerts open up over there. (Soon.)

    Anyways.

    SUBLIME
    BLOODHOUNG GANG
    ELVIS COSTELLO
    MC CHRIS
    IN FLAMES
    GWAR


    And Nine Inch Nails. Not because it's what kind of music you're asking for, just because they are so genuinly awesome.

    A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, and the Black Eyed Peas are pretty positive, especially for rap.

    James Brown, simply because he is teh awesome.

    Sublime is all you need, really.


    Or uhhh, the Polyphonic Spree:

    (CAUTION - the Polyphonic Spree are actually cultlike non-denominational God freaks. But if their music is anything, it's really happy.)

    Heres a <a href='http://www.3hive.com/archives/2005/04/22/ted_leopharmacists.html' target='_blank'>nice writeup and download links</a> for Ted Leo and Pharmacists over at <a href='http://www.3hive.com' target='_blank'>3hive</a>.

    I also recommend <a href='http://2005.sxsw.com/music/showcases/band/18082.html' target='_blank'>Apollo Sunshine</a> with <a href='http://audio.sxsw.com/2005/mp3/Apollo_Sunshine-I_Was_On_The_Moon.mp3' target='_blank'>I Was On The Moon (When You Were Born)</a>. Nice happy song there. Maybe also try getting Krafty by New Order. This one isn't exactly anti-emo but its somewhat irreverent and just plain fun. <a href='http://www.3hive.com/archives/2005/01/13/flogging_molly.html' target='_blank'>Flogging Molly</a> - <a href='http://sideonedummy.com/mp3s/fm/seven_deadly_sins.mp3' target='_blank'>Seven Deadly Sins</a>.

    Listen to Eisley or Le Tigre. Le Tigre is a feminist band but not KILL THE MALE PIGS type of extremist feminism. Eisley is a family band from Texas who makes happy music.

    I love Vertical Horizon I don't find much out there that is similar to them. Try Matt Nathanson he has a few upbeat tunes like Laid & Suspended which you might like.
