"Someday we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny
But now you're sad, your mama's mad
And your papa says he knows that I don't have any money
...Oh, so your daddy says he knows that I don't have any money
Well, tell him this is his last chance to get his daughter in a fine romance
Because a record company, Rosie, just gave me a big advance"
Bruce Springsteen - "Rosalita"
Living on a prayer. There is no other answer.
"Hitchhiked to hell and back
Riding the wind
Waiting for a generation's bonfire to begin
When the plunder of the poets
Thunder of a punk's guitar
Beat life to my body
Sulking drunk at the back of a bar
Alright....
Chorus: There's no high like this
Adrenaline nightshift
There's no high like this
Adrenaline nightshift"

We need to cheer this place up a bit. I'll start:
Great song, great starter for this thread. As a matter of fact, the song that came to mind before clicking on the thread was “Full Force Gale” by Van Morrison which I’ve always loved, though I’m not a religious person.
Sorry, also this:
Jeremiah 17-7:8
Rock around the clock.

I am a HUGE Van fan so I love to see some Van ❤️. Also Here Comes the Sun and 59th street bridge song(Feeling Groovy)
Not sure whether this counts as rock, but it's certainly upbeat and happy:
Subversive maybe, but definitely happy:
Sickeningly upbeat:
Sweet Child O’ Mine- GNR
happy and upbeat but not great.
Now if you want great, Lynyrd Skynyrd put out a few. My favorite, however, is this one:
The piano jam alone is a pure joy.
Queen- You're My Best Friend
Of all the great music that came out in 1969, Sugar Sugar was the number one song of the year!
Rosalita is great, and I don't like BS.
Paradise City - GnR comes to mind! Dancin Days - LZ. Boys are back in Town - TZ, Mr Brightside -The Killers.
