hey I need some good picks for depressing music. I was in a shit mood all day and need something to listen to when I'm bummed out, so far all I had was Joy Division and Mad Season. I don't care if it's cliche just something to listen to

    Anything by Red House Painters if you want to hold the mood, or when I'm in a depressing state I always listen to Pavement, it makes me feel better.

    Audioslave

    Listen to any Soundgarden or RATM record, and then listen to Audioslave.

    Instant recipie for depression. How could a band that could have been so good, suck so bad?

    Morrissey is definitely some depressing music, as well as the Smiths. Also listen to "Stuff and Nonsense" from the 7 World's Collide cd, that features Eddie on vocals:) Very sad and realistic song.

    Cat Power - "Myra Lee" - Rockets is one of the great sad songs

    Eels- Electro shock blues - you know you're in for a heavily emotional album when it opens with "my Name's Elizabeth; my life is piss and shit"

    Sigur ros - ( ) - this album will fit any emotion you're looking for since the lyrics are whatever you want them to be

    cat power - "names" (and listen to the lyrics... it's pretty depressing)

    pw long - his album, "remembered."

    mark lanegan - pretty much anything, really. "kimiko's dream house" or "resurrection song" come to mind.

    iron and wine, possibly more mellow/rainy day music than depressing

    well put. I feel the same way and to top it off Cornell's losing his voice. Will definitly look into the Dylan and some other stuff that I can find thanks folk.

    but of course keep it coming

    This is the one that came to mind for me. It's really gets me down to listen to it.
