LOL I take it you've never listened to The Smiths.
Seriously though a lot of my favourite music I would describe as melancholy. As much as I enjoy it I also find that if I listen to too much of it I can get lost in it. Admittedly I am prone to depression but to say that there is no inherent sadness in the music would kind of miss the point. I think artists frequently exploit the inherent power in the darker moments of life.
