What is the saddest, most depressing rock song that you know?

[DainBramaged]

I'd have to go with Alice In Chains - Nutshell.

 

[BUTCH1]

The gunners dream--Pink Floyd
or,
Knocking on heavens door-Bob Dylan

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Assuming metal is excluded...

Rainbow - Catch the Rainbow

 

[tasmanian]

Right where it belongs - nine inch nails.

Alice in Chains - Don't Follow

I don't understand why everyone thinks Nutshell is more sad. *shrugs*

 

[BatmanNate]

Hard to say for certain, but I'm pretty sure Tom Waits wrote it.

 

[DarkThinker]

Every Metal / Hard Rock song ?

I also feel pretty bad when I hear No Excuses. I love AnC.

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

November Rain.

 

[krotchy]

Last Kiss, though I prefer the Pearl Jam Version

Also Millencolin - The Ballad is pretty darn good.

 

[eplebnista]

Is That All There Is? by P J Harvey

 

[mpitts]

There are a lot but Walk Away by Ben Harper and Anna Begins by Counting Crows come to mind. Goodbye by Hootie & the Blowfish too.

Hurt - Nine Inch Nails... You do know Nails made music before The Hand That Feeds came on the radio, right?

Angel's Son - Lajon of Sevendust and the band members of Snot (after Lynn Strait's death)

 

[Kadarin]

Not exactly rock, but an old classic: Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart

 

[clamum]

Weezer - I Do

Agreed. Matter of fact, a few years ago I heard a caller call into a radio show, and said her friend killed himself to that song.

 

[Feldenak]

Pearl Jam - Black
Alice in Chains - Don't Follow
Nine Inch Nails - Hurt (although the Cash version seems to convey more personal "hurt")


Those are 3 right off the top of my head. I'm sure I could sit down and come up with many more.

 

[Ausm]

Something in the way-Nirvana



Ausm

 

[Mucho]

Nights In White Satin - Moody Blues
Welcome to the Machine- Pink Floyd

[Platypus]

AIC - Down In A Hole
Pantera - Cemetary Gates
NIN - lots here.. the persistance of loss / losing hope, and all that could have been, something I can never have

There are tons and tons but those always pull a heartstring for me.

 

[ScottFern]

GnR - November Rain

 

[Aikouka]

X Japan - Forever Love
or
X Japan - Tears

Both sad songs and they actually played Forever Love at the funeral for their used-to-be member after he committed suicide.

 

[eits]

initial response = radiohead - creep
