Listening to Frankie Teardrop alone at 3 in the morning is an interesting experience, I wouldn't recommend it.

Revolution 9 is also creepy like "Frankie Teardrop".

Revolution is even creepier backmasked, as 1 person put it "It feels like Satan is behind you".

Win! And extra kudos to him for his beard. I do like to see a hobo with a proper beard.

It's rare music depresses me. I have enough sh*t going on, music is more of an escape (as horribly cliched as that sounds).

So, that said, I'll have to go for Coldplay because I can't stand them and having to listen to them would probably put me in a pretty sh*tty mood.

I agree with Jumby, stuff like Damien Rice, some of Tori Amos's and Regina Spektor's material doesn't depress me at all.

I saw a hobo with a proper beard when in the car, he was drunk at about 9 in the morning, I thought he was gonna fall over. He was a bit of a hero. But that cover of Creep was a winner. Even though a hobo singing "I wish I was special, you're so fucking special" is a bit... y'know.

Coldplay? There's a difference between depression and boredom. I don't mind them though. They're just a bit dull. I enjoyed one of their albums, though I'll probably never listen to it again.


Damien Rice's first album moved me.. More than depressed me. No idea why, not many albums manage to do that.

Hobos with beards are just so much better than ones without. I'm pretty sure that's an actual fact.

I'll agree with you on Damien Rice. I know a lot of people that think he's incredibley boring, but I actually thought 'O' was a really good album. I generally listened to it more when things were going to sh*t, but it never depressed me any more. It was a good album for me to just sit back, listen to and not actually have to use my brain in any way other than to appreciate the music. Which is always nice! '9' didn't really grab me in the same way, unfortunately. Apart from '9 Crimes'. Not sure why (he's done better music), but I got a soft spot for that song.

Of course, not even in dispute. Hobo beard>No hobo beard.

I thought O was a masterpiece, one of the best records of the 00s. Reminiscent of Leonard Cohen, such a sombre tone to it. The string arrangements were great. 9 was incredibly average. He's had 2 records in about 8 years? He needs to pull his finger out and follow up 9 with something epic.
