What's your favorite depressing song?

[loinburger]

For me, Pink Floyd's "Hey You" wins by a mile, although Billy Joel's "Captain Jack" deserves honorable mention, as does Metallica's "Fade to Black."

(No reason to make this a poll, since regardless of what options I put on it, two-thirds of the votes would still wind up in the banana category...)

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

"Here comes a regular"- The Replacements.

[Boris Godunov]

Adagio for Strings - Samuel Barber.

Or anything by Nick Drake, since all of his stuff is damned depressing but very good.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Very good choice, Boris. I'm a massive Drake fan.

[drake]

Massive drake fan?! Oh..Nick Drake :\

Counting Crows, have a bunch of good stuff, mostly depressing.

[Bas]

Here comes a regular is amazing... But I prefer Would? by Alice in Chains.

[Zkribbler]

Randy Newman's "I Think It's Going to Rain Today."

Tin can at my feet,
Think I'll kick it down the street,
That's the way to treat...
A friend.

[Nostromo]

I would say "Avec le temps" by Léo Ferré. It's a bit cliché, I know, but its a great song. On a lighter note, I would say "Don't go home with your hard-on" by Leonard Cohen.

[Pavlov]

sort of mainstream, but "sound of silence" with S&G.

[drake]

Speaking of S & G, " I am a rock" is a really good depressing song....

And from that era....."Catch the Wind" or "Lalena" by Donovan are really good blue tunes.

[MrWhereItsAt]

Predictably, either REM - Everybody Hurts, or NIN - Something I Can Never Have and Hurt.

[Cookie Monster]

The Smiths "Girlfriend in a Coma"

I know it's serious...................

[Juggernaut]

I don't like being depressed.

[MrWhereItsAt]

I'm happy for you then.
