Playlist Challenge time again;

Ten most depressing songs. Post your own ten here or in your own LJ.

1. The Swans, "God Damn The Sun"


2. Rasputina, "A Quitter"


3. Nine Inch Nails, "Hurt" (Depending on how old you are, Johnny Cash's version may pack a stronger punch)


4. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, "The Weeping Song"


5. Joy Division, "Love will Tear Us Apart"


6. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, "Song of Joy"


7. Tom Waits, "And No One Knows I'm Gone"


8. VNV Nation, "Holding On"


9. The Smiths, "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me"


10. Leonard Cohen, "Famous Blue Raincoat"

Some day I will get around to writing that post on religious imagery in VNV Nation songs.

I'd add Amanda Palmer's Another Year, almost any cover of Gloomy Sunday though Lydia Lunch's is awesome, and Johnny Cash is saddness personified so throw some of him in there...say his cover of Hank William's I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry or Give My Love to Rose.

His cover of "Danny Boy" is so depressing even I can't listen to it.
