It easy - anything in a MINOR key is gay and/or sad, like radiohead.
Anything in a MAJOR key is uplifting and chart material, like scouse house and "we all live in a yellow submarine".

Actually I find that most artists that I listen to use a version of the Minor Pentatonic, sometimes a Major. From a guitar playing perspective it is either the Full diagonal form, or the Outside Vertical form. Apart from general Major scale form these are the first scales that I teach my students. Most people resist applying themselves to the task, but once you know them, and move to the stage of intergrating them into your general playing, in my opinion you have moved beyond being a general guitar hack.

Marty DiBergi: It's very pretty.
Nigel Tufnel: Yeah, I've been fooling around with it for a few months.
Marty DiBergi: It's a bit of a departure from what you normally play.
Nigel Tufnel: It's part of a trilogy, a musical trilogy I'm working on in D minor which is the saddest of all keys, I find. People weep instantly when they hear it, and I don't know why.
Marty DiBergi: It's very nice.
Nigel Tufnel: You know, just simple lines intertwining, you know, very much like - I'm really influenced by Mozart and Bach, and it's sort of in between those, really. It's like a Mach piece, really. It's sort of...
Marty DiBergi: What do you call this?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, this piece is called "Lick My Love Pump".

Johnny Marr has more musicianship in his little finger than your entire family line, forever. Morrissey's current backup band is outstanding. you don't know his music, it's not all minor keys.
if you don't take my word, Noel Gallagher talks about The Smiths:

I used to have entire conversations with friends using only smiths quotes, BEFORE they broke up.
to answer the question, this goes for most posters too.
the minor pentatonic scale. people are in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame after only ever using that one scale their entire careers.

Not sure what scale(s) they were in but Evoken tuned down to A for their new release "A Caress of the Void". Those into extreme doom need check them out if you never heard of them! I'm in contact with Nick/Vince off/on for quite some time (used to do their website back many years ago). Still have yet to go see them live. I'll be in heaven that night
My old band tuned down to B all the time on 6 strings. I played in whatever scale we were in (b, c min, F/F#), depends on the song.
