The Offspring, and my go to song 'Pretty Fly For a White Guy' :)
"Yeah,he's getting a tattoo,yeah,he's getting ink done
He asked for a thirteen but they drew a thirty-one
Friends say he's trying too hard and he's not quite hip
But in his own mind he's the,he's the dopest crap"

I did a review of Muse - http://collegetimes.us/muse-black-holes-and-revelations-album-review/
They have a wide range of songs, happy songs to dark songs.
They have already over 30 songs, so you can choose one that feels right, that specific moment.

I'm going to have to say Linkin Park. They aren't bad, and a big enough range of songs for my subtle emotions.

Depends on what kind of mood. "I gotta feeling" by Black Eye Pea is pretty good for getting psyched before heading out with friends to go drinking/watch a movie/play games.
"You're the best around" (from Karate Kids soundtrack) is my go to song when I need to lift my spirits. I played the song before the start of every exam (not kidding).
Finally, "Highway to the Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins (Top Gun Soundtrack) and "Life is a Highway" - Rascal Flatts version (don't knock it, it's a good cover) are both good songs in my car mix repertoire along with "Bounce" by Timbaland.

Are you a new fan of Linkin Park. Many old fans aren't fans today anymore, the say it has changed to much since the 90's. I don't know, I started to listen when we were already in 2000.

I'm just getting into classical violin, but it's really soothing. Antonio Vivaldi and Yitzhak Pearlman are amazing.
I'm also addicted to Gogol Bordello and Flogging Molly. Flo Mo live is an incredible experience, but sadly I've never been to a Gogol concert.

The Offspring is just right for getting into a "I don't give a #*&$" mood.

That's also a mood :P I'm not a huge fan of the offspring either, but music is personal so I guess this band also has to exist.

Nah man, I've been a fan for a while. I thought they were pretty cool when they released Hybrid Theory, but I really got into it with Meteora.

That's cool, many people say their music changed in the last years, and I think that's true too. But that doesn't mean it's getting worse now, not at all! Though sometimes you can 'hear' it's a bit more 'commercialized'.

It's maybe weird for the geniuses out there but the music that gets me in a good mood are HipHop & R&B. I specifically like music of Beyonce & Britney Spears.
Aside from that, I also listen to Japanese songs (J-pop).

@Tinct: Flogging Molly is awesome.Do you listen to Real McKenzies or the Tossers as well? I also enjoy listening to Capercaillie in my downtime for some serenity,but I love just about any type of celtic music.

@Karamel: I've been meaning to listen to some Real McK's; I know their music is similar to Flo Mo. Never heard of the Tossers, but I'll give them a try as well. And Flo Mo is incredibly awesome; they're playing in Anaheim or somewhere near UCI in September (as well as Gogol), but I'm going to be out of the country =(

New songs can get you also in the mood. If I listen to the radio when I'm on the train back to house and I discover a new song and I really like it then I also get in the mood. I found something new, new beats, new band, new music. Maybe that's because I'm such a music freak.

I always like it when new (good) bands are discovered. Muse was one of them many years ago.

Muse is a really good band. The main vocalist has an incredibly flexible voice. I've heard their new album only has one or two good songs though, which is unfortunate.

@Karamel: Have you ever seen Offspring in concert? First time I saw them was last May at KROQ's Weenie Roast in Irvine. I didn't expected them to look their age, but they still blew the stadium away. Being in a stadium full of people shouting "You stupid dumbsh!t godd*mn motherf*cker" at the top of their lungs while people on the upper lawn dance around bonfires made of trash from the ground is really something else.

You mean Matthew? The fifth album isn't released yet... you can listen to some previews on itunes, 2 songs are leaked, but that's about it. Don't judge before you have heard everything. Can't wait till September the eleventh!!
