Upbeat music suggestions?

I am need of a good music infusion. Most of music is mainstream and, quite frankly, I'm in need of something new.

Typically I like upbeat "catchy" stuff. I listen to Rock (U2, VH etc), Blues (SRV, Cray, Beniot etc), Alternative/Techno (Depeche, Cranberries, Lush), Jazz (Miles etc), Pop, R+B and even Folk (Natalie Merchant, Joan Osborne etc).

I need some good suggestions for a breath of fresh air so that I may enjoy my music (and system) more often. I need it to be fairly upbeat though as I typically dislike downtrodden and melancholy types of music.

Guide me wise ones!

I wholly agree with Bundee1. The Flaming Lips "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" is great.
Crazy4blues is also right. You shouldn't miss Oingo Boingo's "Dead Man's Party".
One addition, No Doubt's "Rock Steady" is not to be missed.
