My top 10 that meet this criteria:

Pearl Jam - Given To Fly 
I want this to be the last song played at my funeral, it's just perfection.

Violent Femmes - Blister in the Sun (honorable mention to Add It Up too)

Shouting it out and dancing round like I've got the zoomies.

Blind Melon - The Pusher

Not my number1 BM song, but this one gets me pumped.

Fugazi - Waiting Room
Great for angsty days

MC5 - Kick Out the Jams

Does it need explaining why?

The Who - Anything off Quadrophenia

See MC5

Cat Power - I am a Map

Woman power perfection

The Kinks - Waterloo Sunset

Just feels so good

Pixies - Velouria

Another one that just feels good to let loose

Siouxsie and the Banshees - Cities in Dust

Another one that gives the zoomies

Honorable mentions

The rest of Yield

AiC Would & Don't Follow
Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus

Smashing Pumpkins - Starla
The masters of quiet/loud and controlled feedback and this song displays both at the highest level. Billy Corgan is an absolute guitar genius. 

John Prine - Paradise
This is one of three songs on my list that I’ve been hearing my entire life and have grown to love. My dad recently passed away and JP was his favorite of all time. He was a professional musician and this was a staple cover my entire life. I love it. 

Kyuss - Gardenia
I probably could’ve picked any song from “Sky Valley” but chose this one. Josh Hommes guitar sound on this record is insanely good. Love the tone and tuning. 

Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison
#2 of songs my dad covered ever since I can remember. I know my dads voice singing this more than the original. 

Pearl Jam - Blood
Crushing guitars. Pounding drums. The best EV voice ever for me. My favorite PJ song 

The Band - The Weight
#3 of the mentioned earlier. My dads favorite record of all time…music from big pink. Possibly my favorite song of all time. 

Rage Against The Machine - Freedom
I don’t want to get into how much this song means in todays times. Loved it since day one. 

Led Zeppelin- Thank You
Do I need to explain this one?  Just one of the greatest songs ever. Beautiful song construction. 

The Doors - When the Musics Over
The opener from Live At the Hollywood Bowl version is magical. This is another one I could’ve picked from a bunch of different Doors songs. 

Radiohead - The Bends
The guitar work on this record is absolutely insane!  Another one I could’ve picked from several songs but the bends is fire

Jimi Hendrix - Vodoo Child
Pearl Jam - Smile
James Gang - Walk Away
Smashing Pumpkins - XYU
Roger Miller - King of the Road
Beatles - Happiness is a Warm Gun

I'm surprised The Weight isn't on more lists.  It's one of those songs that is covered by EVERYBODY.

In no particular order…and it’s hard to pick of course. 

And to be honest can’t say I know all the lyrics…

Golden Years - David Bowie
Immortality - Pearl Jam 
Scenery - Neil Young

Buy Me a Pony - Spiderbait
Boy in the Bubble - Paul Simon
Rosetta Stoned - Tool
Teardrop - Massive Attack

Shake your Rump - Beastie Boys
Red Right Hand - Nick Cave
In My Time of Dying - Led Zeppelin

"I got arrested at Mardis Gras for jumping on a float, my man MCA's got a beard like a Billy goat. AWW AWW is the disco call, disrupt y'all!"

I could’ve picked a number of Beastie tracks but that one stands out for me.

That whole album kills but Rhymin N Stealin is the one track that always does it for me.

This song would've made a great instrumental but as it was its just a great song period that I must play at least twice.

This is one has grown on me after the first time I heard it. Now I have play it on repeat until I learn these lyrics. Great words here Scott W......HEARTLAND

I got a smile on my face, it's a beautiful day
I smile to the world, I smile to the day
And ain't nothing wrong, I can't complain
This love is so strong, from playing this game

Nothing but love here, in peace and harmony
Nothing but love here, it's our destiny

I just need a cigarette, lord help me breathe
I ain't got a lot of regrets, still I can't sleep
So what you wanna do? What else can I say?
I hope it's not true, but you're so far away

Nothing but love here, in peace and harmony
Nothing but love here, it's our destiny

The day will come, maybe not for a while
I can give you my world, we can share in a smile
Let me tell you like it is, it's all a man can really do
Close your eyes, and these words will come true

Nothing but love here, in peace and harmony
Nothing but love here, it's our destiny

https://youtu.be/AfvY2ojfrCQ?si=7Da9lazTATx_EzSk

Love the opening line...
l got a smile on my face,
It's a beautiful day.....

Nothing but love here....

✌️❤️💚💛

In no particular order.  Not all of these would be on the list of my top ten favorites but something about most meet the criteria of the thread 

Alive - PJ.  Will always be the one for me for PJ.  From the opening riff to the end love every second of it. Still can play it over and over and never tire of it

Time - Pink Floyd. From the clocks in the beginning to the very end to me is my favorite non-PJ song.  Music rocks and lyrics are spot on.

American Pie - Don McLean.  Loved this since a kid.  Probably the first rock or pop song I loved.

Just Like Heaven - The Cure.  Just a really cool and fun rock song that makes me smile.

Jump Around - House of Pain.  Infectious beat.  

Lips Like Sugar - Echo and the Bunnymen. Takes me back to a simpler time. Young with no responsibilities.  Great new wave pop
song

These Eyes - The Guess Who.  Always enjoyed the song and when I hear it brings me back to a specific time and place that I will always recall fondly 

Alison - Elvis Costello.  Always makes me think of my high school crush of the same name 

Summer Nights/You’re the One That I Want.  - Grease soundtrack.  Going to cheat and count these as one. Songs that put a smile on my face.  Just pure pop magic.  

Friends - Elton John.  Makes me appreciate all my current friends along with making me recall fondly old friends who have passed on or who have lost touch with.

Nice!  I have a friend who wants a copy of Elton John's Friends on CD.  I thought I would buy her a copy- must be tons of them out there, right?  But, no!  Only available on vinyl LP or cassette.  I was astounded.

Not sure I can name 10 and they may be different tomorrow, but this is what pops in my head without doing too much thinking:

Toadies -- Away

Candlebox -- 10,000 Horses or Far Behind

U2 -- Beautiful Day

Temple of the Dog -- Hunger Strike

Pearl Jam -- too many too list

Bob Seager -- Turn the Page

Tom Petty -- Free Fallin or Won't Back Down

Offspring -- several of there songs could be on here to, but Gone Away for sure
