~~Suggestions for Depressing Music??~~

I'll second that. Listen to "Stephnie Says", or "Pale Blue Eyes"... there are many to choose from.

 

If you want something that could help you to feel veeeery sad,i suggest you to listen to this Janis Joplin's songs :''Little girl blue'',''A Woman Left Lonely'',''Maybe'',''Kozmic Blues'',''Call On Me''...Or ''Here without you''-3Doors Down, ''Little Wing''-Hendrix,''So Lonely''-The Police- and if you can download italian music,and you want to hear something different ,i can suggest you some songs that really makes me feel depressed.. ''Ebano'' by Modena City Ramblers,''Il Quadro'' By Le Orme,''L'ora dell'amore'' by Camaleonti,''La luce dell'est''By Battisti,...

 

i never find Janis to be depressing - "feeling" perhaps, but not depressing

 

He asked for depressing songs,and i suggested him this,but i wrote they're SAD!Not depressing...I'll never find her songs depressing!!Just Sad...She's my favourite singer,and it probably wouldn't be so if she were depressing

 

hey janis89, i can dig it!...not trying to start a rumble with ya or anything, hehehe

 

Never thought about it!I just wanted to explain you what i meant!Sometimes It's a little bitt difficult for me to explain what i think not knowing english soooo well!!

 

what about the friggin blues??

Howlin' Wolf?
Buddy Guy?
Muddy Waters?
John Lee Hooker?

you listen to these guys, and dammit if your problems dont go away. they make you feel great about your quality of life.

oh yes, hendrix always made me feel better

 

So it's not depressing music.

 

have you listened to what these guys are singing about?? I mean, really listened? It is depressing, but it makes you feel better.

 

don't worry baby, we're both Janis lovers so we're definitely attuned!

Janis breaks down all language barriers!

 

if you're really looking for depressing bluesmen, try some Tarheel Slim - lol, he is the pinnacle of low down problems!

 

man, tarheel is low down blues... the guy is so blue he dont even tune his guitar sometimes! That man seen some troubles in his time.

 

Yeah, I agree. But I thought the topicstarter was looking for music that actually would depress him

 

Basement on the Hill- Elliott Smith... Especially "Twilight", absolutely killer.

 

holy heck, 6 pages until the first elliott smith suggestion? ()

 

They're fucking weird, they are...

gotta love 'em, though...

 

Syd Barrett's solo stuff, especially 'Dark Globe'.

 

Try some bands like Evoken, My Dying Bride, Saturnus, Mourning Beloveth, Morgion, Shape of Despair, Cryptal Darkness, My Shameful and Esoteric. It's metal, but not aggressive, instead VERY slow, with a desolate atmosphere and sad melodies and thus very depressing.

Some doom metal bands later on turned to a more depressive rock approach, like Jack Frost, Anathema, and Katatonia, which might be more up your alley.

 

The Smiths are perfect if you want to listen to depressing music. But Syd Barrett's solo stuff is just so desolate...

 

Southern Death Cult was the early name of The Cult, who are amazing. One of the best bands ever. Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy (the singer and guitarist) started doing a new album last month.

But The Cult aren't depressing.
