    you are all wrong. The most depressing song is "Frogs" by Alice in Chains. I used to listen to that song alone in my room and want to cry/kill myself. whoopdy doo im GLAD i listen to PJ now!!!

    i dont think i can pick just one

    nin - and all that could have been
    nin - hurt (obvious one)
    aic - nutshell(obvious again)
    replacements - the ledge
    pearl jam - light years
    lou reed - sad song
    yyy - turn into
    nirvana - you know youre right

    thats by no means a complete list or anything. lots of songs are depressing but those came to mind pretty quick.

    Terry's Song - Bruce Springsteen
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Bruce Springsteen - State Trooper

    Maybe not the lyrics (even though they're quite dark and sinister) but just the sparse acoustic guitar. That whole "Nebraska" album isn't exactly a barrell of laughs.

    gotta agree with

    Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven. for some reason some idiot thought that would be a good mall song. i usually had to drown it out somehow cause i would start tearing up if i heard it.

    Haha, it's all good. If I didn't really listen to either one of them a lot, then I would be in the same boat... the pianoing reminds me a bit of Thom's/Johnny's.
    If I could, think I would give in.

    Minor Works - J. Tillman

    Not a very well known songwriter but really brilliant. Minor Works is a truly beautiful, sad song.

    "Reveal yourself
    to me and no one else"
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

    Fake Plastic Trees - that song, on the right days, can have me weeping like a baby.

    I also find Thumbing My Way depressing ("I wish that I could hold you... I wish that I had")...
    I smile, but who am I kidding...

    whoever mentioned

    He Stopped Loving Her Today---George Jones

    is the winner...

    also...By the Time I get to Phoenix.... Glenn Campbell


    and



    Sunday Morning Coming Down---Kris Kristofferson....

    I'm not a Country Music fan except for some Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson Patsy Cline...but those old fuckin country songs are very very depressing.

    Oh, and Most Morrisey stuff... and Nick Cave

    I think thats the point of it.

    Great album, but I am always in the worst mood after I listen to it.

    Wintersleep - 'Butterfly'

    Mum told me I had her pretty eyes.
    Mum told me I'd be a butterfly.
    Mum told me of angels in the sky.
    Mum told me good people never die.

    It's not fair (X4)

    They sound happy, musically... but it's normally juxtaposed with some shockingly depressing lyrics.

    Everybody Hurts is about hope.
