    I realize I already said Harry Nilsson, but "without you" has my vote for most (and most effectively) depressing song of all time.

    The Pyramid Song- Radiohead
    Tears in Heaven- Eric Clapton (especially knowing the
    circumstances)

    Actually, Radiohead has alot of them for me, I just don't know the names. Depressing Radiohead is the best Radiohead.

    depressing radiohead =

    fake plastic trees
    high and dry
    in limbo
    how to disappear completely
    climbing up the walls
    subterranean homesick alien
    no surprises
    scatterbrain
    we suck young blood
    the gloaming
    i might be wrong
    knives out
    morning bell
    you and whose army?

    ANY RADIOHEAD IS THE BEST RADIOHEAD!

    Only one song for me:

    So much sea between us - Procol Harum

    let him who fears his hollow
    stand up and make a speach.
    for him perhaps and emperors throne
    If he could only speak.

    But it's realy the organ line that brings me to tears.

    depressing no one has mentioned yet


    Tomorrow Never Comes by BHTTM

    She says, "I just might leave tomorrow."
    He says, "Tomorrow never comes."
    So we'll just learn to love our sorrow.
    I'll love you tender as your sleeping.
    I'll love you bitter through the day.

    the saddest landscape 'the sixth golden ticket'
    a day's refrain 'screaming lessons' and 'we grow numb'
    xiu xiu 'hives'
    jawbreaker 'accident prone'
    circle takes the square 'our need to bleed'

    so many more, but if you get a chance download those.

    Depressing music goes way back

    It may surprise you young sprouts to know that there was depressing music before Goth and Industrial Rock.

    Absolutely anything by Hank Williams, for starters!

    Songs about the sad, mad state of the world are depressing, but there's still nothing that beats a broken heart for sheer downness.

    "Long, Long Time," by Linda Ronstadt. "I Fall to Pieces," by Patsy Cline.

    To pick one that's not about broken hearts that hasn't gotten a lot of attention so you might not know about it, there's Aimee Mann's tune, "Jacob Marley's Chain." A nice depressing look at the world.

    Some of the Classic Rock that's always on the air is really downbeat. Have you ever really listened to the lyrics to "Hotel California"? "Stairway to Heaven" is not exactly upbeat pop either. Or back to the sixties, Kris Kristofferson was the king of depression: "Me and Bobby McGee," which is really an allegory about the sixties coming to an end, not just losing a girlfriend, and "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down," an ode to a really bad day that never ever ends because the world sucks.

    Hey, don't knock Evanescence! I don't know that I agree with the observation that people think they're deep. People think they're depressing, and that's what this thread is about.

    And if you're up for (down for?) a symphonic-length oeuvre of depression, check out Richard Strauss's "Metamorphoses." We went to a live performance of it in L.A., where audiences are notoriously rude and noisy and clap in all the wrong places. When the piece came to an end there was absolute silence for several minutes. Six thousand people just sat there stunned.

    The most depressing songs are:
    Mad World - Gary Jules
    Drive - Incubus
    Strawberry Gashes - Jack off Jill
    One More Suicide - Marcy Playground
    Creep - Radiohead
    Every you Every me - Placebo
    Colourblind - Counting Crows
    A World So Cold - Mudvayne
    4 am - Our Lady Peace
    and finally...
    Not An Addict - K's Choice\

    Agree, disagree....I'm right
