Which song would you listen to when you're ...

Upset? “Mr. Roboto” or “Come Sail Away” – Styx
(these both crack me up sooo hard, so I have to sing along)

Bored? “Intergalactic” – Beastie Boys
(it gets me moving, and I remember the fighting robots in the video)

In Love? “It Must Be Love” - Madness

Happy? “Don’t Stop Me Now” - Queen

Worried? “Everything Gives You Cancer” Joe Jackson
(it’s so upbeat… until you listen to the words)

Heart Broken? "Today, Tomorrow, and Forever" – Patsy Cline
(nobody knows heartbreak like Patsy)

Depressed? “How Soon is Now?” – The Smiths
(and nobody does depression like Morrissey)

Annoyed? “American Idiot” – Green Day

Busy? “It’s The End of the World (As We Know It)” - REM

Guilty? “Fifteenth & T” – Swingin’ Utters
(it’s about a guy whose friend died, with the line “what about the plans we had for the next day?”)

Angry? “Wing Chung” – Lunachicks
(she introduces it on the live album by saying “this song’s about kicking some ass!”)

Bitchy? “Rip Her to Shreds” – Blondie

Some of these compound my feelings, and some combat them. Also, I added a few categories that I felt necessary.
