Depends on depressing. Go for most country songs. Like sad love songs or...idk. When I think of depressing sad love songs come first. Used to have a sad song play list. LIke 100 songs...ot rid of it.

Patrick Swayze - She's Like the Wind

Sounds like someone used to be emo...

[mr_mushroom]

led-babe, i'm gonna leave you
led-d'yer m'aker
evanescence(sp?)-hello
bush-letting the cables sleep
chevelle-point #1
APC-peace love and understanding
'stones-paint it, black
the zombies-she's not there
the who-behind blue eyes
slipknot-vermilion, pt. 2
stone sour-bother
APC-blue(bird shake mix)

not in any order. some are better than others. i don't know what depresses you, so i came up with some generic ones. i can give you way more of them if you need.
so top 3 on that list
-peace love and understanding
-hello
-letting the cables sleep

that's all without repeating anything previously mentioned.

[Chiquae07]

wow, a lot of this is faster than i expected. this is a lot of help.
looks like damien has a playlist for this. just messin with ya.

i guess you can say what gets me deressed is songs like
usher -burn
frankie j -how to deal
babyface - what if
limp bizkit - boiler

etc....

and its not illegal, its napster, the new one.....as my friend has their service.

[Damien]

Oh dang..I didn't hit up my hip-hop/R&B/rap music...oh well.

Yeah, some Chevelle and the like songs i think are but they're a little heavy. Not emo, just have a lot of music and I know all of it. Got music always going.

[VR43000GT]

A sadder counrty song is "Whiskey Lullaby" by Brad Paisely and Alison Krauss.
Otherwise maybe "Where'd you go" by Fort Minor.

Oh, and I definately think "Tears in Heaven" would be a top choice. Especially with the story that goes with it.

[sickcallawayc12]

Linkin Park maybe?

The Wall disc 1-Pink Floyd (One of my Turns, Don't Leave me Now some examples)?
disc 2- Hey You is kinda, yet good, comfortably numb same way

Bill Withers- Ain't no Sunshine

[Toksin]

Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah (as sung by John Cale or Jeff Buckley)

Can't believe no one's posted that yet.

[turtlecrxsi]

Most Cure songs...

[WickedNYCowboy]

Brooks&Dunn- Neon Moon
Jason Aldean-Asphault Cowboy
Jason Aldean-LonesomeUSA
Jason Aldean-Even If I Wanted To
That's all I can think of right now. To me pretty much if it aint country it aint music.

[drunken monkey]

depressing in what context?

sinead o'conner - nothing compares to you
john lennon - imagine
johnny cash - hurt (cover)
annie lennox - why

['97ventureowner]

First song that came to my mind when I read the thread title was , "Seasons In The Sun" by Terry Jacks from the early '70s.

[KustmAce]

Nothing is more depressing than Tears in Heaven
