... and suckish is the appropriate word here!
10. Leave Out All the Rest by Linken Park - one of the best rock songs to leave behind the bad parts of the day and remember the best ones.
9. Life is a Rollercoaster by Ronan Keating - for a non-cheesy, mellow and relaxing song to cheer you up, this is it. It's all about letting life run it's course, even if it's currently falling to the ground from a very high height.
8. You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home by Hannah Montana (aka Miley Cyrus) - before you start questioning my sanity, let me explain. If you ignore who the singer is and just listen to the song, the lyrics actually have a lot of meaning to them: the song's all about the fact that whatever you do and regardless of whether you become a millionaire or a criminal or anything in between you can always go home and you won't be turned away. The song is also really upbeat and can bring up a smile on your face, even if you're just laughing at the cheesiness!
7. Somebody Out There by Kate Alexa - this song is another upbeat, cheerful one but is far less cheesy! I love all of Kate Alexa's music but this song is one of my most listened to of all time because of it's ability to put a smile on your face. It's all about knowing that there's someone out there who will one day love you and it always makes me feel calm. It's poppy but not like the current chart-trash.
6. Someday I'll be Saturday Night by Bon Jovi - this song is number three in my list of feel good songss but I love it so much that I had to mention it again! It's a truly inspirational song.
5. One of Those Days by Emily Osment - once more, ignore the who the singer is and listen to the great rock of this song. Perfect to lift your mood.
4. The Good Kind by The Wreckers - this might not be an upbeat song but it's a great song to let all your emotions out to. I think it's a very beautiful songs and in a strange way, it's really uplifting.
3. Even Angels Fall by Jessica Riddle - if you've seen 10 Things I Hate About You (1999), you'll know what I mean when I say this is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONG EVER!! If it doesn't make you cry, then it'll give hope to you because it's all about the fact that everyone makes mistakes and at the end of the day, you can always pick yourself up again.
2. It's Only Life by Kate Voegule - upbeat, girly and a mix of pop and light rock, this song has all the characteristics of a great song to cheer you up and make you realise 'it's only life'.
1. Bad Day by Daniel Powter - how could I not put this at number 1. This is the song that everybody knows but can't quite remember the singer. For a song to sum of your suckish day, this HAS to be it!

Top 10 Rock Ballads
10. Need You Now by Lady Antebellum - according to itunes this is a pop song but I think it's a mix of pop and light rock so I'm going to include it. It's great to sing along to. The emotion builds up to an amazing chorus near the end and it's literally impossible to hate it. Whenever it comes on, my best friend and I scream it at the top of our voices! Oh and it has a great guitar bit in the middle.
9. Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol - I think this is a rock ballad but I'm not exactly sure. I love the song though and it definately has more emotion in than most and possible one of the most awe inspiring climaxs ever!
8. With or Without You by U2 (although the version by Scala and Kolacny Brothers is also incredible though less rock) - the lyrics are what makes this song so incredible. To me it's all about this guy whose tired and slightly drunk and in pain and in love with this girl from years ago who he's never got over. He's now stumbling to this shore that's mentioned and is sitting on a cliff overlooking the sea, remembering the time they had together and wishing he could tell her that he still loves her despite the fact that when he's with her he's sad and when without her, he's even worse. It might be the most depressing song but it can always bring a tear to your eye.
7. I'm With You by Avril Lavigne - this isn't a classic rock ballad but it's emotional, slow and their's a rock tone to it so I think it counts. I like all of her music to be honest but her album Let Go is definately one of the best, before she went into pop mode. This song is a great one to cry to.
6. Always by Bon Jovi - this is a classic power ballad and doesn't fail to please me regardless of how many times I've heard it. My favourite bit comes 3 minutes in when the tunes changes and the lyrics are so beautiful, all about doing anything for the one you love. The guitar rift afterwards is also awesome!
5. Valentine by Richard Hawley - my mum got me into listening to this song by insisting I put it onto my iPod and since then I've fallen in love with it. Once more I wouldn't classify it as heavy rock but Hawley's voice is perfect for the song and it creates a rock atmosphere.
4. Never Say Goodbye by Bon Jovi - wow, the second one in this list! This song just beats Always because of the melancholic side that always brings a lump up in my throat. Unlike number 6, this one is all about the past and remembering what happened when they were younger. The drum part is what always captures my attention in this song which happens in very few songs so I ought to give the instrumental credit too in this slow ballad.
3. I'd do anything for love (but I won't do that) by Meat Loaf - the full version is 12 minutes long and I've had to get into a habit of skipping the first 1 and a half minutes of motor bikes reving up but after you get over that hurdle, this song is possible the most stunning romantic song sung by a rock singer. The music video is outstanding and the song isn't quite the same without it, but it still holds the emotion and beauty in Meat Loaf's voice. It reached number 1 in 28 countries and almost 20 years after it was released, it still holds magic.
2. She Will be Loved by Maroon 5 - an incredible song that has so much emotion and is far too catchy. This song is all about what you do for love and for someone you love and I only hope that there's a guy out there who will one day feel that way about me. I always feel a lump in my throat at the end of this song: beautiful melodies and harmony.
1. Best I Ever Had by State of Shock - this is a little-known American band whose music I love (for Christmas I asked for their album and sent my parents on a wild goose chase since I hadn't told them it wasn't available in England). This song is my most listened to song ever and I still can't get enough of it.

Top 10 Feel Good Songs
10. Glad by Tyler Hilton (acoustic version) - not just because it's in One Tree Hill but it was where I first heard it. The chorus is really upbeat but the song itself is quite slow. It's great light music.
9. Kids by MGMT - very different to Glad as it sounds far more computerised but the sequence of five notes going up always makes me smile. For a clubby sing-along song with a slight hint of rock in it, this is the tune for you.
8. Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) by Katy Perry - from her latest album, this one has yet to become a hit but is my favourite of all of her's. It can't help but put you in a good mood, especially the TGIF shouting bit in the middle. Light pop music.
7. Make it Shine by the Victorious cast - perhaps a cheesy Nickelodeon show but the theme song is great to listen to when you need a boost to your day. It many ways it's very similar to Last Friday Night.
6. All Night Long by Alexandra Burke feat. Pitbull - the clubby sound to this song isn't normally something I like but here it fits perfectly and I can't help but smile. It makes you tap your feet and want to join in. Great club song.
5. Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson - the most inspirational song I have on my iPod, this song can always make me feel good about myself. It's one of the slower ones on this list but also less poppy that most. Great song to wake up to.
4. I Melt With You by Modern English - I love 80s music but this is my favourite. It isn't one of the more upbeat songs but it makes you want to dance and get the shoulder pads out... almost.
3. Someday I'll be Saturday Night by Bon Jovi - this song isn't one that at first sounds like a feel good song but the lyrics are really inspirational and there's a lot of hope in there, even if the song is one of his slower ones. It's the perfect song for when you've had a bad day.
2. Fill my Little World by The Feeling - I am obssessed by this band but this slightly cheesy song, has to be my favourite. It's light-rock and can't help but put you in a good mood.
1. There She Goes by The La's - I've listened to this song over 40 times and still it is one of my favourite songs of all time. All I have to hear is that opening rift and I feel like it's a warm summer day, even if it's the middle of winter. A great slow rock song for with some of the best instrumental sections I've ever heard!
