I find U2's "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb" pretty up there with the down feelings.
Apart from Vertigo its all so dreary.
And Coldplay, I like some of their songs but it gets too much for me, it makes the world feel colder when I'm listening to them.

um.
yeah.
I did other.

I went with a classical composer because there are a few that I find quite depressing.

But yeah.

1. Classical composers
2. Nirvana
3. Radiohead
4. Smashing Pumpkins
5. Alice in Chains

Im sure he was saying the band was. I think Staid is pretty depressing, couple that with the fact that they got airplay, thats kinda depressing.

I dont see how Alice In Chains, Radiohead and Smashing Pupmkins are depressing

Are you kidding me?, ok computer and amnesiac are extreamly depressing, and siamese dream and mellon collie have some of the gloomiest lyrics ever, even when the songs sound upbeat, and Alice In Chains are one of the most depressing grunge bands, which is saying a lot. =)

coldplay - anyone who bases all of their songs on exactly the same chord progression has got to be depressing

I really dont hear that, try grindcore or extream metal bands.

I've got Amnesiac, Ok Computer, Mellon Collie, Dirt and Facelift and I can understand PERHAPS some of the lyrics to Mellon Collie and Dirt are abit depressing but not too much but I dont really think Radiohead are

The Beatles - Elenor Rigby , hands down.

^
.

If you know their backgrounds, hell yes it is.

r.e.m's "up". songs like 'parakeet' and 'falls to climb'- ultra depressing

5 Favorite But Depressing Albums:
1-the cure "pornography"
2-joy division "closer"
3-tool "aenima"
4-husker du "zen arcade"
5-a perfect circle "13th step" because of an event that happened while listening

Fuck, I made a voting mistake...
Radiohead for sure... They get the most optimistic people to consider suicide...
But what about Joy Division, The Cure and The Smith (-> Loves those bands!!!)???

A song I always find very depressing is -Tears in heaven- by Eric Clapton. It's about his son falling out of a skyscraper how much more depressing can you get?? I find a lot of Coldplay and Keane depressing, David Grey also make me feel really irritated and depressed. There so bad they make you feel depressed. james Blunt is also soo terrible it makes you want to bang your head against a wall or accidently push teh radio off a window sill..

I would say other, since I don't really hate any of those bands that much. Some of them are annoying like Eminem and his group D-12 I hate their annoying songs and vocals :shudder:. Linkin Park is my favorite band ever since I hear rock n roll music. I would like to hear those rock music group more than rap music groups and artists.

i dont consider myself a Clapton fan but i live that song

not all classical music is sad and whatnot but for the most part i think it can be one of the most melancholy genres out there. it says volumes without lyrics.

beatles- im a loser
beatles- you've got to hide your love away
beatles- for no one
beatles- michelle
beatles- girl
beatles- yesterday
led zeppelin- since ive been loving you
led zeppelin- tangerine
led zeppelin- going to california

^off the top of my head, might be some more.

A band called Beefroot and the 7 imortal cheese hags find them on myspce.com listien and cry

As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me

I love that song.

I'd have to put Jeff Buckely on this list - I love Jeff ("Grace" is one of my all-time favorite albums), but some of his songs could push your average music listener into deep depression. Ones that are especially dour include; "Lover You Should've Come Over", "Mojo Pin", and Drown in My Own Tears"

Got about 7 versions of that song, but aside from the original, I like Marianne Faithful's version.

Anyhoo My vote goes for Coldplay and Radiohead.If your not depressed to start with, listen to these two morbid,whiny c*nts and you'll be wanting to euthanase yourself in no time.

any time somebody mentions the name dashboard confessional it makes me depressed. just because i cant believe people like that bull honkey.

Haha.
Dashboard are pretty depressing.
I was playing Enter Shikari at school once (check them out www.myspace.com/entershikari) & some girl was like 'raarrr this is SO depressing' so she goes and puts on dashboard. Which makes no sense. at.all.
Anyways.
:]

Dashboard aren't depressing at all, more like pathetic.

i totally agree with that.

also elliott smith and joy division

Joy Division - very nice addition to the depressing list by either/or.

And Elliott Smith… Dead on, too. I mean, c'mon, what could be more depressing than a singer/songwriter who commits suicide - by stabbing himself in the freakin' heart?!

Hanging yourself comes pretty close.

very true alexisonfire - Poor Ian… having epilepsy and doing a lot of drugs apparently leads to a short life with a tragic ending.

I think a band that makes me want to slit my throat is Linkin Park, actually now it's more Green Day.

Jeff Buckley, especially Last Goodbye and Lover, You should've come over and Hallelujah. Really moving and makes me just a little teary-eyed.

suprized stained isn't on this list lol.

Because Staind is pathetic modern rock whining.

System of a Down is pretty depressing.

cold play hands down! how can a perfect circle even be in there!

Have you heard 3 libras?
