I'm sure someone's probably said this one by now, but it's been a while since I've read through this thread.

"Strange Fruit"- Billy Holliday, Nina Simone (countless others I'm sure)

This is one of those songs that no matter how many times you listen to it, and no matter what mood your in when you start listening to it, it just overwhelms you.

have you ever needed someone so bad - def leppard
how do you talk to an angel - the heights
every now and then - earth wind and fire
photographs and memories - jim croce
goodbye girl - david gates

Gary Jules- Mad World

Listen to it, it is one of those that just kind of consume you, it's a tears for fears cover, but jules just really makes the song.

Odd no one mentioned any Black/Doom metal, well here goes:
Life Is Pain - Bloody Melancholy
Beatrik - Requiem of December
Loss - Life Without Hope, Death Without Reason
Xasthur/Leviathan split cd
Asunder - Works Will Come Undone
All of these are either EP's or full-length releases, Great underground Black/Doom Metal most people have never heard of.

Forgot to mention:
Lifelover - Pulver or Erotik

Try any album by Mazzy Star. Hope Sandoval's voice is beautiful and very very haunting. Downbeat stuff but really good if you're in the right mood

"Strange Fruit" is such an overwelming song. It is about the linchings in the south years ago, when they hung the African Americans. Thus Strange Fruit. I'm depressed now because of this thread (T-T).

One of my songs is so depressing, they used it on a missing children report:
