    1. Mambo Number 5

    2. Blame it on the Rain

    3. Electric Youth

    People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.

    1. Nine Inch Nails - Hurt

    2. Greenday - Boulevard of Broken Dreams (way overplayed)

    3 Caramelldansen (will probably make you catch "the gay")

    1. Mad World - Gary Jules

    2. Vermillion Pt. 2 - Slipknot (only because of something I'm going through) www.youtube.com/watch

    3. Dust in the Wind - Kansas (I think)

     

       Most any sad song has me feeling depressed lately, though. I'd give Closure and Bend the Bracket by Chevelle honorable mentions, though.

     

      EDIT: Seize the Day by Avenged Sevenfold also gets to me occasionally.

    The Gunners Dream - Pink Floyd

  • Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt. It's so grim that it takes all three votes from me.



    Made the mistake of listening to it at 2 am driving home one night. I'm not suicidal, but driving the car into a phone poll started to seem like a half-good idea at the time.

    1. Bruce Springsteen - Downbound Train



    2. Tracy Chapman - Fast Car



    3. John Prine - Sam Stone (OP already listed it, but it deserves two spots since it's twice as depressing as any other song above)

    Why would I want to learn the name of a song that I can't stand?

    The Weeping Song

    Artist: Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds



    Album: Best of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds





    Go son, go down to the water

    And see the women weeping there

    Then go up into the mountains

    The men, they are weeping too



    Father, why are all the women weeping?

    They are weeping for their men

    Then why are all the men there weeping?

    They are weeping back at them



    This is a weeping song

    A song in which to weep

    While all the men and women sleep

    This is a weeping song

    But I won't be weeping long



    Father, why are all the children weeping?

    They are merely crying son

    O, are they merely crying, father?

    Yes, true weeping is yet to come



    This is a weeping song

    A song in which to weep

    While all the men and women sleep

    This is a weeping song

    But I won't be weeping long



    O father tell me, are you weeping?

    Your face seems wet to touch

    O then I'm so sorry, father

    I never thought I hurt you so much



    This is a weeping song

    A song in which to weep

    While we rock ourselves to sleep

    This is a weeping song

    But I won't be weeping long

    But I won't be weeping long

    But I won't be weeping long

    But I won't be weeping long

    Odd, I always saw this as an inspirational song, and I don't even care for most country music.

    Mad world was by Gary Jules?

    I always had the imperssion it was tears for fears.

    None the less I will rank that one.

    But the number one sad song is probably Another day in paradise by Phill Collins.

    That song can rip a mans heart apart.

    Gary Jules did a cover that was used in Gears of War, Tears for Fears is the original.  The Gary Jules cover has a sadder tone, but the original is a better song IMO.

         Yeah, what he said.

     

      I completely agree, however. Though I enjoy both versions, and I think Tears for Fears had a more enjoyable version, the Gary Jules one, however, when it caught me on the wrong day, I wanted to jump off a bridge.

     

      I imagine it would be the song that someone would drown puppies to.
