Fuck it, this made me sad when I was three and it still makes me sad, even though it probably shouldn't:

Any of the last four tracks off of Joy Division's 'Closer' get my vote. Nick Cave's 'Lay Me Low' is a pretty sad song too. Other than those, Oasis' 'Sad Song' pretty much goes without saying

Pantera - Hollow
Damien Rice - The Blower's Daughter
Kansas - Dust In The Wind
Billy Joel - And So It Goes
Dave Matthews - Gravedigger
R.E.M. - Everybody Hurts

Just to Name a few

Blower's Daughter is a hell of a great (and sad) song.

I'll throw in The Background by Third Eye Blind. Not a band I listen to often, but if I need a song to absolutely numb everything, that would be the one.

What Sarah Said by Death Cab is also incredibly sad.

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, Gordon Lightfoot

or

Sullivan, Caroline Spine...

I couldn't choose... shoot me.

I always feel that maritime songs are the saddest, something about dying in water, bummer.

I love that song but it doesn't seem sad at all to me. In fact I find it kind of upbeat in a weird, irreverent way. It's funny how two people can have such different interpretations of the same song, but I guess that's art for you.
