Of what is on the poll, Smashing Pumpkin strikes a chord. Queen's Who Wants to Live Forever was always a downer.

No Pink Floyd? The Wall is like the ultimate downer album. And yeah The Cure, Joy Division, The Smiths, those should have been the obvious choices, where are they?

I would have put in Johnny Cash too.

Van Der Graaf Generator are another one that comes to mind. Very gloomy.

Katatonia, especially the Tonight's Decision album. Depressing is the first word most people use to describe it.

Oh yes. This is exactly what I was going to say. An extremely dark band, but pretty good. A great drumer and surprisingly very catchy at times.

I've just re-read some of their lyrics at KATATONIA LYRICS - Tonights Decision (1999) and now I am going to play that album. Can't wait for the new album!

I said 'Other' as I think Cold is the most depressing band from 1st to last album.
