I always listen to Joy Division when I'm down, Ian Curtis really did cut his veins open and bleed for us. The Smiths would be up there, but Marr's guitar playing is so damn catchy and uplifting despite Moz's dark cynical lyrics.

Codeine is a pretty depressing band, far more so then the majority if not all of the bands in the poll imo

^^ Codeine's a good pick. As well as Rivulets and Pedro the Lion.

When you listen to song titled "Second Best" over and over it kinda gets to you after a while.

Neil Young at his most depressing, kicks every single artist on this list in the balls. Saddest lyrics ever. I accidently voted for Coldplay though.

The bands I find the most depressing are The Smashing Pumpkins, No-Ca$h, Matthew Good Band, Radiohead, City and Colour and Coldplay. Leftover Crack is pretty sad too with their song Life is Pain.

Codeine are definitely one of the most depressing bands I've ever heard.

Also a lot of Red House Painters songs nearly crack me up, especially this

But as was said before, Joy Division are pretty much the winners.

My Dying Bride. ^^

This song is about a factory worker who commits suicide. Coupled with the stark instrumentation and lacerating vocal, it's actually quite harrowing.

Obvious pick, but this song delivers one hell of a kick to the balls with its desperate tale of loneliness.

Honestly, just read/listen to the lyrics.
