Most Billie Holliday songs

The Flying Burrito Brothers - Hot Burrito #1 (though #2 is also killer).

Cash's cover of "Hurt" is always brought up, but "I See a Darkness" is the one that gets to me.

cool thread, I love sad music. I know what u mean when u say that christmas music can be sad for u. It's crazy how a song can really bring you back to when u first heard it.
My favs from my DOWN playlist:
Al Green - "For the good times", "mend a broken heart"; Andre Nickatina - "blood in my hair", "rose"; Beck - "Girl of my Dreams", "everybody's gotta learn"; Bill Withers - "ain't no sunshine"; Wilco & Billy Bragg - "One by one"; Bob Dylan - "Don't think twice", "Girl from the north county (w/ J Cash); Bob Marley - "my cup" "redemption song"; Clash - "straight to hell"; Daniel Johnston - "Some things", "true love"

Some good ones there bsmix esp. Mad World and Tears in Heaven. One of my own — Billie Holiday — Gloomy Sunday. The saddest song I have ever heard personally.

Diamanda Galas does a great Gloomy Sunday. I don't care for the standard adaptation of the lyrics ("Dreaming, I was only dreaming" - cop-out).

Pink Floyd's When the Tigers Broke Free gave me those chills you get when something is really deep. Its not so much a sad song as it is...emotional.
