Couldn't YouTube everything and I'm a little too lazy to upload the songs today so...

Happy Song:
Acidman - Your Song

Sad Song:
The Cardigans - Losing a Friend

Summer Song:
Ajico - Freedom

Winter Song:
Luna Sea - White Out

Epic Song:
Luna Sea - Virgin Mary - This could fit as either an epic or a beautiful song, but I chose to put it here.

Beautiful Song:
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Lenny - Can't you just feel the emotions he has for his wife just by listening to it?

Guilty Pleasure:
N/A

60's:
The Doors - Break on Through (To the Otherside)

70's:
Don McLean - American Pie

80's:
Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast - The first mainstream metal band to have the balls to actually say "666" in a song.

90's:
Stone Temple Pilots - Sex Type Thing

00's:
The Strokes - Someday - A lot of the music I like in the 00's sounds retro. This song also makes me reminisce about the past quite a bit.

er... *speechless*
I think if the Spice Girls ever sang a cover of "I'm not in love" it would sound like this. Haha.

I find that for the decade songs I end up having to list two to encompass my feelings of them...

Happy Song: Don't Mess With the Dragon - Ozomatli
I like how a Latin funk group can turn otherwise generic Southern snap/crunk into something that's actually fun (no offense). Sure, the lyrics aren't mind-blowing, but it's lifting. Sorry for no link.

Sad Song: Canta Per Me - Kajiura Yuki
Noir much? (note: links to nonvocal piano + string quartet Eminence Otakon 2007 performance)

Summer Song: Deep Into the Night - Hiromi's Sonicbloom
Some people view the summer as a super-active party season, but I love the nights the most, and this always makes me think of them.

Winter Song: Super Mario's Sleigh Ride - The OneUps
Sorry, I'm a nerd. (note: links to a weird project combining Metal Gear Solid with Santa Claus, but a sample of the music is used)

Epic Song: Go Tight! - AKINO
Yeah, I really don't have an epic song, so I thought I'd just use my favorite anime opening. ;

Beautiful Song: Chanto tsukandemasu kara w - Face 2 fAKE
The Densha Otoko TV drama is the closest anything's ever gotten to making me cry out of emotion. (Yes, you can laugh if you want, but no tears were shed! Still very touching, though.) I attribute it mostly to scenes containing this song.

Guilty Pleasure: The☆Peace! / Renai Revolution 21 / Souda! We're ALIVE - Morning Musume
Yes, Morning Musume's singles off of 4th 「Ikimasshoi!」 are my guilty pleasures. In my defense, this was also back when they were good and had Dance Man composing some of their tracks.

60s: (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay - Otis Redding | California Girls - Beach Boys
Your standard non-Beatles fare. I'll let the others sift through their library if they feel like it.

70s: What Is Hip? - Tower of Power | Magellan - Yoyoy Villame
When I think 70s, I think funk and Filipino novelty songs. I don't know why. >_<;

80s: Super Freak - Rick James | Welcome to the Jungle - Guns N' Roses
Did not particularly like the 80s in terms of music; Queen was only good in the late 70s (opinion), and like the Beatles in the 60s, I don't want to reference a specific Michael Jackson song. Never was into the metal scene, either...

90s: Shame on a Nigga / Da Mystery of Chessboxin' - Wu-Tang Clan
This decade is hard due to the fact I actually find it the least memorable, probably because I had to live through it in my early years. Since I hated pop music, thought the new wave stuff sucked, and am still apathetic to anything outside of the rap boom, here are two Wu-Tang Clan songs.

00s: Life Is Beautiful - m-flo ♥ DOUBLE & TOKU | Fan - Epik High
Temporary placeholders until 2010.

You said we could add one if we wanted, so...

Sentimental Romantic: Karada - Tokyo Jihen
Actually, I have a lot of these kinds of songs in storage (you know, just in case), but this is the one I like at the moment. Just wanted to give you an idea.

I may like that song too much...
