lover i don't have to love- bettie serveert (cover of brighteyes)
a dark dedication to the lonely hearts that reject love.
it's enough now- mandalay
a sensual final releasing of a lover who can't fight anymore.
sleep- the dandy warhols
daydreams of obsession, has an ethereal air about it.
closer- lovers electric
an emotional ode to lovers who's love is destined for peril.
street spirit (fade out)- radiohead
a fight against the vulnerability of existence.

how do you listen to a soundgarden song without feeling like your about to croak?

Soundgarden - I find their music dark & depressing, eg Burden in My Hand - Blues lyrics set to the heavy grunge

Classical: Beethoven (Moonlight Sonata)

The Rolling Stones - in the early days they had some sad, melancholy songs (I love the depressing mood of Back Street Girl, I won't listen to Angie - I find it too depressing.)

The Strokes - some of their songs, I don't know what Julian is singing about but it sounds kinda depressing.

Love, Hate, Love by Alice in Chains has a really dark, depressing, and morbid sound about it.

Nirvana is depressing.... how overrated they are.

Dead Boy and Elephant Men

That list is not very well put together in my opinion. There's a few bands on there that I don't find depressing at all.

The Smiths/Morissey are the most depressing for me. But i can appreciate their music. I chose Coldplay in the poll as I hate them and think they are the most overrated bland dull boring uneventful pieces of **** ever to hit the music industy. Although I did used to like listening to the 'Parachutes' album when I was younger...

Another song that I find really depressing is Puff the Magic Dragon.

I know most people think it's about drugs, but to me, the song is about a bitter viewpoint of change and growing up and a dragon losing his best friend, and it would make me cry when I was a kid.
