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"

10. Leonard Cohen, "Famous Blue Raincoat"

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

Oo. Everybody Knows. I first heard this one by Concrete Blonde, and that rasping female voice defines this one for me!
