The song by Sheryl Crow from the X Files soundtrack is sad. Well, I haven't heard it in about 6 years, and I was going through a really rough time when I listened to it, but I thought it was depressing back then.

[snufeldin]

anything by radiohead or coldplay.

Coldplay is more sad, but slightly up lifting; Radiohead is wonderfully depressing. For radiohead I recommend anything on the cds: "the Bends" "Ok Computer" "Kid A" and "Amnesiac". Their new album is fabulous, however, slightly up lifting.

Probably the most depressing song might be "Motion Picture Soundtrack" (download the video... it really helps" or maybe "Street Spirit"; both of those are by radiohead

Well, you probably mean downtempo sad songs... but there's also angry raving depressed... Ian Curtis of Joy Divsion killed himself (by hanging) in the family kitchen two days before the band's first american tour was to begin.

The whole album "Still" is amazing. This very lo-fi mono mp3 of Dead Souls, does not do justice to the song or to Curtis' voice... but even so, some of the power comes thru -- live, he was rawer yet.

ummm.. try Type O Negative's albums October Rust and World Comming Down.. just about all of the tracks on those two except for two or three are sad depressing (but perhaps a little tounge in cheek as well)..

if you're into the whole goth thing try out Theatre of Tragedy..

BUT! if you want the most sad, depressing, despair ridden music of all then I recommend old time bluegrass.. everyone in those old songs is being hanged, thrown in rivers, or generally killed by moonstruck lovers.. you know, all that happy stuff..

Anything by Staind, and NIN. I dare you not to take your life after a full sitting by one of them.

Metallica's new album is depressing for other reasons.

[Oceano]

Old "The Cure", and some of the more gothic "Dead Can Dance" stuff.

For metal, "My Dying Bride" or the first "Cathedral" cd (It's so slow)

Rodriguez - "A most disgusting song"
(track 1 from the album "Live Fact")

Some truths in there about people that I'm sure a lot of folks here could relate to from playing a lot of different venues... pretty depressing tho...

Check out Woody Guthrie's "I ain't got no Home".

Not only sad, but an amazingly beautiful musician.

*Name dropping alert* I used to live in the same room as Nick in my university dorms (with a 30 year gap between us of course...).
