OK Computer, Kid A, Amnesiac, and Hail to the Thief are thematically really very depressing. Just listen to Pyramid song or A Wolf at the Door or Climbing Up the Walls.

....do you not think i havent heard those songs? i ownly literally everything they've done. and yes, granted, OK computer, amnesiac and kid A dwelve in more negative overtones. but the messages prevalent in their sonhgs are uplifting, its almost lyrical advice and help. the bends and large segments of pablo honey, hail to the thief and even OK computer have that affect.

I can see that for Pablo Honey and the Bends, and the music for a lot of OK Computer can be really uplifting but the message it's getting across doesn't seem to be at all. Like No surprises is very quaint and nice but about giving in to monotony, and the upbeat electioneering is about rigging votes so the electoral system is useless. Kid A and Amnesiac are really stark.

Nirvana - Rape Me is also a very depressing song... in my opinion. Cobain sing this very emotionely... as every single Nirvana's songs.

^ Agreed. Nirvana are pretty depressing.
Coldplay are definitely the worst though.

I think the term Haunting, is better than depressing for most of the above bands. I would vote for abandonded pools as most haunting.
