Guest Lord of The Curry Report post Posted July 29, 2003 So life is sucking right now and I've never been one to fight my feelings. My two best friends have quit the job where we worked, thus giving me no reason to go back to work and I'm in a rut w/ the ladies. Here's what's currently in heavy rotation...... "Katy's Song" - Red House Painters "When it's cold I'd like to die"- Moby "A season in hell"- Moby "Cemetary gates"- The Smiths "Mad World"- Gary Jules No metal or heavy stuff, please.

Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted July 29, 2003 Nick Cave's cover of "What a Wonderful World". Yeah, not a very depressing song on it's own, but the way he sings it is so... ironic. It's a downer for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest nl5xsk1 Report post Posted July 29, 2003 A lot of the Syd Barrett stuf is pretty depressing, especially knowing how bad he fell apart mentally. - Opel - She Took a Long Cold Look at Me - Wouldn't You Miss Me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Incandenza Report post Posted July 29, 2003 The Delgados' "No Danger." There's a piano break at about the three-and-a-half minute mark that chokes me up every time. I nearly lost it when I saw them live a few months back and they performed this song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JangoFett4Hire Report post Posted July 29, 2003 Saddest song I've ever heard: Whiskeytown - Sit and Listen to the Rain. Also REM'S Automatic for the People and Husker Du's Candy Apple Grey are downers... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest La Parka Es Mi Papa Report post Posted July 29, 2003 The Cowboy Junkies cover of I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry. You can't go wrong with Hank's original, either. Also get Exit Music by Radiohead, and Straight To Hell by The Clash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted July 29, 2003 So I just bought Nick Cave's Murder Ballads, and it's just about the most morbid non-metal thing I've ever heard. "O'Malley's Bar" is fantastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Edwin MacPhisto Report post Posted July 29, 2003 So I just bought Nick Cave's Murder Ballads, and it's just about the most morbid non-metal thing I've ever heard. "O'Malley's Bar" is fantastic. Ain't it grand? 14 beautiful minutes of murder. I can't wait to see your take on the Kylie Minogue duet, though. I'm definitely seconding chave's "Wake Up In New York" vote. That whole Armstrong album is just okay, but that's a great song. Another Tom Waits kill-yourself winner is "Time," and Jeff Buckley's even more depressing on "Last Goodbye," which is a real kicker after the bridge especially.

The album is all songs about murder and death, but "O'Malley's Bar" is 14 minutes long. So we're both right.

Guest justsoyouknow Report post Posted July 29, 2003 Notice that there's only ONE song on there for both of them? There's a reason for that. Those would be the only good songs by either band. Unwarranted criticism not appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone who can dig Johnny Cash and Ryan Adams gets the chave thumbs up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
