Joy Division is an obvious choice. Not sure why they aren't on the list. Hospice by The Antlers makes me want to stay in bed for weeks on end as well.

i honestly do not think there is a more despondent song written...."all my dreams shall be emptiness and misery".....the song is strangely comforting

I don't find the Smiths depressing, which is one of the things they're best known for being.

Overall The Smiths probably aren't that depressing as such, they can even be quite funny at times, but they certainly have their depressing moments, for example.



"Oh mother I can feel the soil falling over my head" - that line gets me every time.

And also the last song on their self-titled album, especially if you know what inspired it.

I know Swans has been mentioned, but this song has been pretty high for me lately, and I'd consider it quite depressing.

I love Swans, and I love that album, but honestly I find that song so over the top that it's hilarious to me.

Eh, Cynicism is always welcome to me, and the fact it's exaggerated to the point where it is makes it appealingly irreverent. Can't really write something that ridiculously seemingly narcissisticly self indulgently bitter without being legitimately pissed off.

Feel it works better than a 'sad' song that's trying to be down to Earth, and relatable.
