Talking Heads -- Once in a Lifetime, Born Under Punches

David Byrne -- Through the Cracks

David Byrne and Brian Eno -- Listening Wind; both depressing and uplifting at the same time

These Talking Heads / David Byrne mentions are awesome, what about "This Must Be The Place" or DB's "Astronaut" or "The Accident" ... all excellent stuffs. Talking Heads / David Byrne is up there in my list of all-time favorite artists.

Joy Division - The Eternal

[Popinjay]

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
Mazzy Star - Fade Into You
Jimmy Eat World - Hear You Me

to the person that put Bright Eyes if Winter Ends, right on... that is an amazing song

Can't believe no one has mentioned

Black Sabbath - Solitude on the Master of Reality disc.

Has to be one of the all time depressing songs ever. One time my friend was all messed up. i went over to his house and found him sitting in a chair staring at the wall with this song on repeat. I thought he was going to snap.

The band played waltzing matilda - Tommy Makem


(The Pogues version is terrible).

[FreeBeer]

A very short list off the top of my head:


Poor Boy, Long Ways From Home - Mississippi John Hurt

Brokedown Palace - Grateful Dead

Nobody Home - Pink Floyd

All My Love In Vain - Sonny Boy Williamson


I suppose a large percentage of Sonnny Boy Williamson's output would fit this description. There's reason they call it "blues."

Whenever I get down, I listen to some WHAM!

Jitterbug! Jitterbug!

Wake me up, before you go go!


or


Cat Power - I Found A Reason

[Mother Mucker]

Regina Spektor - Samson
