The fact that DCFC have 11 votes is... Rather depressing, isn't it? They sort of pride themselves on tugging on your emotions with limited accuracy...
If any Radiohead song qualified for depressing, I'd say "Kid A" works best. Seems very claustrophobic and trapped in a pretty desperate manner.
Lately, "Katy Song" by Red House Painters works wonders. Some of its lyrics seems pretty boiler-plate out of context ("Without you, what does my life amount to?") but it's genuinely sad, which I like.
I've always thought Gilbert O'Sullivan's 'Alone Again (naturally)' was really depressing. I think it's because of the contrast of the happy tune and the lyrics that just make it so sad...

Smashing Pumpkins are quite depressive I suppose, Mayonaise is a sad song althogh completely brilliant at the same time. I like how a few of their songs are about how bad things in life are.
I've never quite got the fact that some people think SP is depressing. I mean, sure they have some sad songs(Mayo, Shame, To Forgive, For Martha etc.) but I've never ever thought they were depressing. I've always found Mayo. to be one of those cheer up songs. I guess different music does different things for different people.
I don't know if I could call Radiohead depressing, considering I've only heard OK Computer. That was depressing though. Alot of AIC and Nirvana are depressing too.
