[Lithium Hobo]

Don't know why anyone would listen to depressing music. :\ It's just ridiculous.

Sometimes it is a comfort to hear from people who have the same problems.
I don't listen to many artists, but Enya has several sad songs about being far from home, etc.

 

[NINGirl]

I know plenty, but the two most significant to me are "And all that could have been" and "Something I can never have" by NIN. Both so poignant and beautiful.

 

[LondonsBurning]

They have a term for this. It's called EMO.

Go to allmusic.com and look up 'Goth Rock' or 'Alternative Dance'. Go crazy.

My personal preferences would be (some of these aren't depressing, per ce, but they are quite haunting):
The Cure - "Fascination Street"
The Sisters Of Mercy - "Dominion/Mother Russia"
Peter Murphy - "Cuts You Up"
All About Eve - "December", "Strangeway", "Tuesday's Child"
New Order - "Blue Monday", "Shellshock", "Crystal", "Primitive Notion"
Depeche Mode - "Blasphemous Rumours", "Never Let Me Down Again", "Stripped", "Enjoy The Silence", "Only When I Lose Myself", "Policy Of Truth", "People Are People", "Barrel Of A Gun"
Monaco - "What Do You Want From Me?"
Garbage - "Only Happy When It Rains"
Angie Aparo - "Wonderland", "Cry"
Catherine Wheel - "Crank"
Sponge - "Plowed"
Alice In Chains - "Would?"
Bush - "Little Things", "Comedown"
Stone Temple Pilots - "Creep", "Big Empty", "Trippin' On A Hole In A Paper Heart"
Primitive Radio Gods - "Standing In A Broken Phone Booth (With Money In My Hand)"
Fuel - "Shimmer"
Circle Of Dust - "Chasm", "Goodbye"
Skinny Puppy - "Worlock"
Clint Mansell - "Requiem For A Dream"
Sarah Bettens - "All Of This Past"
Color Theory - "I Felt The Pain"
Lennon Murphy - "My Beautiful"
Stabbing Westward - "What Do I Have To Do?", "Sleep"
Vast - "Touched", "I Don't Have Anything"
Goo Goo Dolls - "Truth Is A Whisper", "It's Over", "What Do You Need?", "Here Is Gone", "Iris", "Name"
A Flock Of Seagulls - "Wishing"
Savage Garden - "Tears Of Pearls", "A Thousand Words", "Gunning Down Romance"
Deana Carter - "Strawberry Wine"
U2 - "Bad", "With Or Without You", "New Year's Day", "The Unforgettable Fire", "A Sort Of Homecoming"

I think that's enough for right now. A lot of these are very epic-sounding.

i'm suprised no one's said metallica - fade to black... only one of the most depressing songs ever...

umm... suicide nation by at the gates... the unnamed feeling by metallica as well... israel's son by silverchair, that's more anger though... pretty well anything from silverchair before diorama... freak, slave, abuse me, tomorrow, suicidal dream, no association... etc...

How could I forget Fade to Black, one of my fav songs

 

[theFijian]

The only music I find depressing is that which exists solely to make money.

98% of the market and 99.9% of what's on the radio, eh?

 

[Raven Needs Jesus]

Prayer by Disturbed
Last Kiss by Pearl Jam

Can't think of anything else. =( Brain fart.

Nirvana - You Know You're Right

That's about as depressing as you can get....

have you even heard silverchair? compare that to say... this: http://www.sing365.com/music/Lyric.nsf/Suicidal-Dream-lyrics-Silverchair/24F9D4768B878FF7482568A9003A326F

EDIT: i'm not trying to start a "this is more depressing then that so i win" competition... i'm just saying there's a lot more depressing then you know you're right.

by the way, if you like nirvana, you should give silverchair a go. they took nirvana's style and perfected it (in my opinion of course). personaly, you know you're right is the only nirvana song i like, but i love all of silverchair previous to diorama (their latest album).

I think silverchair somewhat ripped off Nirvana. I don't get any feelings or vibe from listening to their music.... It's kinda manufactured or "made" in my opinion. Kinda hard to describe.

That song does look pretty sad... althrough I haven't heard that one.
