Klaus Schulze's album Irrlicht probably takes the cake for the most moving album I have heard, even if it isn't necessarily sad... just very powerful. Depressing-wise, basically any output by Red House Painters, particularly Medicine Bottle and Katy Song. Personally, The Narrow Way pt. III by Pink Floyd sounds like the saddest song of all time to me.

Nobuo Uematsu's Aeris' Theme is to me one of the saddest orchestral compositions. Maybe because I have so much nostalgia for FF7, but I think everyone that's played it has some sort of connection to that song.

ANYTHING by neutral milk hotel, and i definitely agree with whoever said the whole Pink Moon album by Nick Drake

personal choice though: Exit Music - Radiohead

Neutral Milk Hotel isn't even sad...Dirt In The Ground-Tom Waits.

well Aeroplane is about how mangum wishes he could somehow meet and save anne frank, so i mean, that's not exactly a happy tone, even if you don't think its the saddest

That's just the theme, the lyrics and music aren't actually sad, with a few exceptions.

The only girl I've ever loved
Was born with roses in her eyes
But then they buried her alive
One evening 1945
With just her sister at her side
And only weeks before the guns
All came and rained on everyone

The song itself isn't very sad, and their entire first album is pretty light stuff. In The aeroplane's only sad part of the time.
