Cowboy Bebop for me. TANK! is obviously great, but it's got so many other bangers in there. Pushing The Sky and What Planet Is This both slap so gd hard

Shuld i watch the show?
Without a doubt, yeah. Beside the goated ost, it's one of the most impacting moments in its mediums history for good reason, and it holds up very surprisingly well compared to the vast majority of its contemporaries. Nothing else hits quite like Bebop, and you, my friend, are in for a real treat with this one.

Katamari Damacy
It's so infectiously happy and upbeat!
Let's clump up to be a single star in sky...
Recently kpop demon hunters, just because my kids love it and the music is poopy, infectious and inoffensive
In the past, the Lion King was the one for me. Great lyrics and some fun songs.
Pulp fiction did it for me as a teen. I think everyone had the ost on cd. It was also 18s rated, so the movie was less accessible or acceptable for a young teen. The excerpts from scenes were super quotable.
Oh, and daft punks song album for trin was great. The movie was like a giant music video.

I have the KPDH soundtrack going on repeat. (My life is extremely stressful at the moment and I need my dopamine from somewhere)
Haha, and a song like golden os perfect for that. Up up up
Probably Howard Shore's LotR score. Prologue, Concerning Hobbits, A Shortcut to Mushrooms, Khazad-Dûm, The Caverns of Isengard, The Road Goes Ever On, Edoras, Return to Edoras, Eyes of the White Tower... they're all bangers.
(Edit: Can't BELIEVE I forgot "The Ring Goes South!")
I also really like Alan Silvestri's stuff, particularly his Back to the Future work and his Avengers theme.
My wife and I also have this super fun game we play called "is it Gladiator or is it Pirates?" because Klaus Bedelt was Hans Zimmer's protege when they needed a composer for the first Pirates movie, and he heavily borrowed from Zimmer. Anyway, those are good soundtracks, too.
I get to sing in a live performance of the Fellowship soundtrack this fall. The movie will play on a projector, the symphony and chorus will perform the soundtrack.
I’ve done this before for The Two Towers and Return of the King, over a decade ago. This year I get to complete the set!
Whoa. I've attended a live performance of a soundtrack with the movie playing overhead (Back to the Future, actually), and it's a fantastic experience. I would imagine actually performing it would be even better.
Are the lyrics on your music written in Sindarin (I mean anglicized Sindarin, not actually Sindarin script), or are they spelled out phonetically?
Everything is spelled out phonetically, but you can bet I was nerdy enough to correct our chorus master when she said we were singing in Orcish and it was actually Dwarvish.
Nice. That's a level of nerdery we should all aspire to.
LOTR. Especially the themes for the shire and the rohirrim.
Hell yes. We really need another Battle for Middle Earth game, the music and vibes were so good.

Halo always manages to bring me back from wherever im headed
Can you briefly explain me what Halo is
You play John Halo, AKA Masterchef and you have to shoot aliens while a sexy-alexa talks sarcastically to you
- Untitled Goose Game
- Kiki's Delivery Service
Kiki's Delivery Service is so pleasant, it cheers me up even just thinking about it!
SoundTEMP’s Ragnarok Online soundtrack
Ori and the Blind Forest has a great one.
Others I listen to are emotionally powerful, but not exactly generating simple happiness. Even Ori’s are sometimes dark but other times just beautiful.
- Sword and Sworcery
- Starbound
- Outer Wilds
- Mirror's Edge
Na naaaaa
Nana nana na na na
Nana na nana na
If you mean compilation soundtracks-
Baby Driver
Last Night in Soho
Guardians of the Galaxy (the first one)
Back to the Future
If we're taking scores --
LOTR as already mentioned.
Loki Season 1
Sneakers (1992) if I'm in the right mood.
Just about any John Williams: A New Hope, Last Crusade, Empire of the Sun, Far and Away, etc etc
Star Trek VI: TUC (the overture, especially)
Tron: Legacy
Finding Nemo
Wreck -it Ralph
Super Mario Galaxy 2's OST is a masterpiece.
On days when a spring cleaning or packing and organizing frenzy is needed, the Katamari Damacy sound track is perfect. Nice continuity of themes, but varying tempos and energy help make a sustainable work session.
The ost of Singles (1992).
Kirby - Gourmet Race
Idk if it cheers me up, but it gives me comfort. Virgin Suicides by Air.
Most of the OWR (Old World Radio) stations from the OWR FO4 mod.
But especially SynthstreamFM. Love me some Ice Cream Carl, Trash Can Carla romance and the Pirate Macho Man interruptions!
Warframe OST
Pokémon Blue walking to Vermilion City I think, there is this really nice tune.
I usually notice some time of "being stuck in the past" sadness if I listen to nostalgia OSTs too much, but probably these:
- NFS Prostreet, NFS Most Wanted 2005 and 2012
- Nightrunners
- Danganronpa 1-2-V3 and Project Eden's Garden
- Undertale
- Test Drive Unlimited 2
Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX Maximum Remix
If, God forbid, I ever end up with dementia or whatever, I expect that the music from Green Hill Zone will be the last tune I ever recognise.
Chrono Cross
DDLC (Doki doki literature club) funnily enough. Your reality is such a banger and makes me really happy. For me it is a very powerful song with a good ending.
Also Megalovania from Undertale puts me in a better mood instantly.
Test Drive 5 without a doubt. Wait, that's my angry one.
Guardians Awesome Mix Vol 1, 50 First Dates or Death Proof are my go to cheerful soundtracks.
DOOM Eternal OST
Demons, from Imagine Dragons
Used to listen to it all the time back when I had depression, so it's very nostalgic for me.
Nowadays I mostly listen to it when I want to feel sad.
Soulwax FM from GTA is great when I need a boost for house chores.
Can't believe nobody's mentioned Good Riddance from from Hades yet. The sudden peace and calm in the middle of a run is amazing
