Yes.  I miss country & western music.  The so called country music we have today is okay to listen to also, but it's more like what used to be considered pop music.....too many electric guitars....just not country like it used to be.  I wanna hear some steel guitars and fiddles!!  Have you ever heard the song "Murder on Music Row" by Alan Jackson and George Strait?  If not, you should listen to it or look up the lyrics, I think you'd like it.

I am not a country music fan, but I love the George Strait song 'I Cross My Heart'.  Truly one of the best love songs ever, country or not!

Either "Bad day" by Daniel Powter or "Your beautiful" by James Blunt is good. Or if you like harder stuff "Photograph" by Nickelback. If you like country "Get drunk and be somebody" or "Coming to you city"

"Ride Like the Wind" \nby Christopher Cross

Since you mentioned Kenny Loggins, there's also "Footloose."  That reminds me of the "Maniac" song from "Flashdance."  Then, how about "In Your Eyes" from the famous boombox scene in "Say Anything?"  And speaking of Cameron Crowe movies, there's Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" from "Almost Famous" and The Go-go's "We've got the Beat" from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High."  Ooh, now I'm thinking 80's, and there's that song at the end of "Breakfast Club" ("Don't You (Forget About Me)" by the Simple Minds).  "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis from "Back to the Future," as well as "Johnny B. Goode" and that slow dance song, "Earth Angel" by Marvin Berry.  Aimee Mann has some songs from "Magnolia" that aren't quite as 'associative' with the movie, but her vibe is specific: "One" and "Save Me," but they're not dance-y by any means, if that's the kind of party you're throwing.  "Twist and Shout" always makes me think of "Ferris Bueller" and you could use any Johnny Cash songs this year like "Ring of Fire" for "Walk the Line."  It's not necessarily radio-friendly (ie: cursing), but "Hustle and Flow" has a few nice hip-hop tracks, like "Hard Out There for a Pimp."  Also, not sure who it's by, maybe Creed or Nickelback: isn't there a song from Spiderman about "a hero to save us"?  Well, those are the first thoughts.  I hope they help.

Oh absolutely!  If I'm feeling annoyed at someone or something I find Aerosmith's "Janie Got a Gun" very uplifting.  If someone has attacked me verbally I find that "Good Riddance" by Green Day  or "Brain Damage" by Pink Floyd are good songs to sing in their honor.  If I've had to leave an ex-friend behind, "November Rain" is a very cheery one for me.  If someone insults my southern friend, I hum "If You Don't like the Rebel Flag..."  To the old grouches, I sing "Touch of Grey" and when I'm in the mood to move on, "Who Says You Can't Go Home?" by Bon Jovi.  Anything by Jon Bon Jovi cheers me up.  So, yes, music does lighten up a situation.

I like Eve of Destruction by Barry McGuire. It was a famous anti-war song during the vietnam "conflict". He was in the military with a family friend of mine, so they saw war first hand and were appalled by it. Thats what led him to write the song.\n\n"Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say?\nCan't you see the fear that I'm feeling today?\nIf the button is pushed, there's no running away,\nThere'll be noone to save with the world in a grave,\nTake a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy,\nBut you tell me over and over and over again my friend,\nAh, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction."
