I have only heard 6 of those listed and i agree!!

I think I have heard most of them. Not #1, never heard of that one. I use to have the Bloodrock album. A long time ago!!!! I thought it was so cool. :rolleyes:

whoops, i sing along to most of those:o

"He stopped loving her today" George Jones

He said I'll love you 'til I die
She told him you'll forget in time
As the years went slowly by
She still preyed upon his mind

He kept her picture on his wall
Went half crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all
Hoping she'd come back again

Kept some letters by his bed
Dated 1962
He had underlined in red
Every single I love you

I went to see him just today
Oh but I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away
First time I'd seen him smile in years

He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

(Spoken)
You know she came to see him one last time
Oh and we all wondered if she would
And it kept running through my mind
This time he's over her for good

He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

poppa loved momma, momma loved men,

momma's in the graveyard, poppa's in the pen...

poppa loved momma, momma loved men,

momma's in the graveyard, poppa's in the pen...

LOL,
Junior's doing Springer... showing the mess they are in!

:D

Not enough country songs on that list.

Had Ms Dion been around during D-Day, the Allies could have dropped her off at Omaha Beach with a PA system and have her sing All By Myself until the German infantry bayoneted themselves.

LMAO!

1. The Christmas Shoes Newsong (2000)

I hate that song with untold passion.

The most depressing song I've ever heard has got to be Nutshell by Alice in Chains.

The singer who sang the more depressing songs than anyone else was Hank Williams. He could moan with the best of them.


My Son Calls Another Man Daddy Hank Williams

Long Gone Lonesome Blues Hank Williams

Cold Cold Heart Hank Williams

Wedding Bells Hank Williams

Alone and Forsaken Hank Williams

Take These Chains From My Heart Hank Williams

I Can’t Help It If I’m Still In Love With You Hank Williams

I Heard that Lonesome Whistle Hank Williams

I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry Hank Williams

Kawliga Hank Williams

Other depressing songs are:


Sam stone John Prine

Tell Laura I Love Her Ray Peterson

Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love To Town Kenny Rogers

Hurt Nine Inch Nails or Johnny Cash

Strange Fruit Billie Holiday

Honey Bobby Goldsboro

Sylvia’s Mother Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show

Love For Sale Jo Stafford

Cats In The Cradle Harry Chapin

Dust In The Wind Kansas

I Went To Your Wedding Patti Page

Window Up Above George Jones

Patches Clarence Carter

Patches Dickie Lee

Johnny Cash is the king of sad songs...
"The Long Black Veil"
"25 Minutes to Go"
"The Ballad of Ira Hayes"
"Dark As a Dungeon"
"When The Roses Bloom Again"
Etc.

And I agree about Hank Williams, Frogger.

Depends on your definition of "sad"...

I'd say Nine Inch Nails have the most depressing lyrics... but yet musically I love them.

an y song b y Justin TImberlake

Any song? Even Sexy Back? :confused:

how about "any song by Justin Timberlake" mostly sucks.. but has its places in night clubs.. outside of that.. garbage.

"Eleanor Rigby" is pretty damn depressing too.

That's because it's about a dead girl, and funerals.

Speaking of which, here are some equally depressing funereal songs:

* Don't Worry, Be Stiffy
by Bobby McFuneral

* Don't Let The Lid Go Down On Me
by Elton Corpse

* Say Ya, Say Ya Dead
by Outkasket

* Rock N Roll All Night, and Decompose Every Day
by KISS Grandma Goodbye

* Last Rights For Mary Jane
by Tom Petty and the Heartstoppers

:eek:

Danny Boy (http://www.news.com.au/mercury/story/0,22884,23328061-5005940,00.html)



THE dirge-like Irish classic song Danny Boy has been banned for a month by an Irish pub in New York because it's too depressing and was written by an Englishman.
