I listen to a lot of extremely gloomy and anguished **** that makes doom metal sound like humppa in comparison, but I still think Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit" beats it all. There's obviously a lot of music about discrimination, murder and injustice, some being a lot more explicit in its descriptions or being backed by sadder sounding music, but none resonates with me as strongly.
