I agree with Hospice and anything by Empire Empire (I Was A Lonely Estate)
I'll add The Saddest Landscape - You Will Not Survive. Very emotional, extremely sad, but a great listen. Also Mansions - New Best Friends. Which to me is an album you can only enjoy when you are extremely miserable. If you listen to that album in a good mood... well you should never listen to that album in a good mood.

Here are some more additions...
Faith - The Cure Berlin - Lou Reed The Wall - Pink Floyd Nico's solo albums always struck me as being rather sad, as does a lot of Leonard Cohen's work. |

Makes me cry every time... There's no way an album can get sadder than this...
But that's not the saddest, there's worse... However, nothing can get sadder than this one. oh wait...

I've got a few that are really depressing to me, that may not be for other people. First and foremost:
This one may be especially strange to some (many? most?), so allow me to explain: I always listened to a little bit of Tiny Tim for the novelty. You know - chilling and listening to "Livin' In the Sunlight, Lovin' In the Moonlight" or "Tiptoe Through the Tulips", appreciating the strangeness, whimsy, and fanciful nature of the tracks. I was looking for a good "pick-me-up" album after a rough stretch, and chose to download this thinking, "Oh, joy! This is ukulele-laden bliss, and it will pick me right up!" Perhaps it was just my mindset at the time, but that wasn't the case. I found that it made me overwhelmingly sad. What I saw the album for was this: Tiny Tim adopted this persona deliberately to have the naivete and wide-eyed wonder that a child has. It's the world as seen through the eyes of a child, is basically what I'm saying - you probably gathered that, but yeah. In addition, even the covers took on a whole different effect for me, listening. Anyway, certain tracks especially troubled me, as I saw the album from that perspective. Several of these will be included below. And, Hell, even:
