Letty Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 The only one I can think of off the top of my head is House Carpenter - Nickelcreek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pit-Jr Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 i hate crybaby depressing music like radiohead, however i do like angry depressing music like mudvayne and tool. I recommend most of the songs off Tool/Aenima or Mudvayne Lost and Found Also Vermillion Pt 2 from Slipknot is rather depressing and Running Blind by Godsmack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Anything by Deftones too i would reccommend... always gets me feeling lonely for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I rarely ever find any music particularly depressing. Pensive maybe, but not depressing. Anyway, I'd recommend some Miles Davis. Blue in Green is quite a solemn track, give it a listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I suppose it all depends on what you find depressing. Some of my favourite bands like Radiohead and Joy Division people say are depressing and I don't find them depressing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogbas Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Just because HIM called one of their albums "Love Metal" doesn't make it Metal. In fact, calling HIM metal is an insult to all Metal music. Pile o' crap. If you ask them what is the genre of music they play, they'll say love metal. And yes the more recent things they have produced have gone little too much to the "pop" side. Probably beacause they released the album in the us too. But depressing music... I know lots of them only problem is they're all in finnish. We are depressed by nature But for some reason faithless feels a bit depressing for me. Edit: you could try listening to dimmu borgir. Now that's depressing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizz Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 you could try listening to dimmu borgir. Now that's depressing... Towards the same vein as the bands I posted, just what I posted is way more depressing, raw, grim, bleak... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 James Blunt makes me want to spontaneously combust while jumping off a building just about to pull the trigger.

Indigo Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Miles Davis depressing?! You what? Oops, I meant to say Blue in Green, not All Blues. Like I said, I don't really find any music depressing, so I just picked one of the first mellow and pensive tracks that came to mind. The track is definitely tinged with a sense of sadness and reflection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athriller Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I find Anthem for a 17 year old girl by Broken Social scene to be very sad and depressing, yet romantic and uplifting. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 That's the best use of a cheesy grin at the end of a sentence I've ever seen. U2 are a surprisingly good source for depressing music. I especially recommend 'Running to Stand Still' and 'Kite'. I love both of those songs, I've got a really good live version of each if you want them (much better than the normal song).

Mr_Odwin Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 bootlegs are legal Do you have any proof of that? Everything I've just read on Google says otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Do you have any proof of that? Everything I've just read on Google says otherwise. Bootleg music is legal, it is simply selling music that record companies have not officially released. Sometimes artists kick up because they won't recieve royalties, but they distributed the music freely in the first place and so it's their loss. Piracy is copying/selling/redistributing music that has been officially, commercially released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Do you have any proof of that? Everything I've just read on Google says otherwise. A bootleg is mainly a recording of a live concert, that hasn't been released by the record company. As long as you don't make a profit of it you're fine. U2 have publicly said (as have a lot of other bands) that they don't mind you recording their concerts as long as no one makes any money from selling them. Also, did you really have to search Google to check whether I was telling the truth or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Radiohead are definitely up there when it comes to depressing music. The main contenders: No surprises Fake Plastic trees (definitely) Creep Street Spirit (maybe) I think Yesterday went too soon by Feeder is one of the most depressing songs i've ever heard. It sends shivers down my spine everytime i hear it. There's quite a few Oasis tracks as well. Where did it all go wrong? Sunday Morning Call (hell yes) Rocking Chair and far too many others to list.

Piracy is copying/selling/redistributing music that has been officially, commercially released. Bootlegs may also include concert tracks as Moria pointed out and that would include copyrighted tracks. Certainly the tracks that he mentions are available elsewhere and protected by copyright, whether the artist says it's okay or not. As for the Google question, I try not to believe what people tell me until I've looked into it more. Best to stay away from bootleg chat. Anyway ... back on topic ... Beck's Sea Change is quite sombre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 i have always been under the impression that a boot leg is only legal (this may only be in the case of distribution, but may be personal use too) if the artists involved have given you specific permission to record their show.

Indigo Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Johnny Cash - Hurt This just came to my mind, and I'm very surprised it wasn't mentioned sooner. Watch the video for maximum effect, it nearly brought me to tears. It's so powerful and pure. This thread might as well be over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Oh i know. It was in a film called 'Magnolia' which was quite depressing actually. Aimee Mann ''Wise-Up'' Sorry if anyone has posted this before me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demuwan Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Am I the Only one that doesn't really want to get depressed by listening to music.
