Like the Johnny Cash version But the NIN version just beats it.Has a corrosive sound to it the video is of a fox decomposing.

Tar.Aldarion

i don't think they could put as much emotion in their voices and expressions as cash though...but i havn't heard it yet..so eh

Johnny Cash - Hurt (you have to see the video to really appreciate it).

*Angel*

Like the two versions the NIN version has the edge but would agree that the Johnny Cash video has the better visuals they make more of an impact.

JackKelly

I'm suprised Hallelujah hasn't been mentioned

oh, and the sound of silence.

The Clown Man

Radiohead - No Alarms - Christ it's about killing yourself - its bloody depressing.

Closely followed by The Drugs Dont Work by The Verve.

[edit]Oh and most of Damien Rice's music. The Professor for me cause it sort of sounds like me. [/edit]

Tar.Aldarion

oh ya damien rice songs...lonelily and that other one lol always puts me in a depressed manner when im having a hard patch in the lover area

Dreamcatcher

The Smiths, Tim Buckley, Leonard Cohen can be depressing, if you happen to be already in that frame of mind. But they are all genius.

Ladypawpaw

Gloomy sunday. The Billie holiday version is the best. It got banned from the radio for years as it was blamed for loads of suicides.

Eric Clapton - Tears in heaven, (beautiful tho)

REM - Everybody Hurts
Mike & The Mechanics - The Living Years

Nothin else comes close to the depressing effect of these two. Great songs tho, 2 of my faves.

Yv

anything by waiting room (cork band - despite being pretty miserable they're v good :P).

yeah, hallelujah by jeff b is definitely up there, especially the live version on... eh... can't remember the name of the live album. "oh mother, i can feel the soil falling over my head..." - beautiful though.

how to disappear completely by radiohead wins tho, hands down.

Wibbs

One from the archives. Eleanor Rigby by the Beatles. Only 2 mins long, encapsulating lonelyness and the futility of life for some. Apparently Sam Beckett liked it. Nuf said.

Kingsize

"oh mother, i can feel the soil falling over my head..."
Is that not the smiths????"i know its over" equally depressing though!
