In terms of lyrical content, mood, message, etc. what are the most depressing albums you can think of?

*EDIT - wrong section, I'm a noob, can a mod move this to the Music section?

You silly boy.

Here was me defending you in another thread...You're clearly an complete idiot.

Depressing albums though?

Ryan Adams: Heartbreaker.

... keep 'em coming ...

Moved.

Thank you, sir.

Don't pay much attention to lyrical content or message.

Overall, though, probably Grace by Jeff Buckley.

Other than Jeff Buckley, which I'd probably choose as first of "depressing" music within my collection, I also think that the Magnetic Fields have some extremely sad songs, especially on 69 Love Songs, however that is just one aspect of that album. Further I'd say Leonard Cohen, like on "New Skin for the Old Ceremony", Elliot Smith and The Smiths...have very sad, depressing songs.

The Cure ~ Disintegration

Radiohead ~ OK Computer

Yeah, me listening to a lot of Elliott Smith spurred this topic. I'll have to check out Magnetic Fields, haven't heard them. And even though I typically can't stand Leonard Cohen's voice, I'll try to give some more of his stuff a listen.

The Cure is a mixture of depression and hope, I think.

Although it does tend to evoke false hope, which is one of the worst kinds of sadness. I think, as an album, Disintegration is up there.

The only music I find depressing is shit music.

Failure by Swans has the potential to really send you towards the deep end, especially if you feel like your life is represented by the lyrics in it.

Anything by Willie Nelson.
