Well, I ran out of songs, but that's a good start. Help me compose a neverending list of complete misery for your life.

Nothing ever happens - Del Amitrii
The drugs don't work - The Verve?
Seasons in the Sun - done by a few

Many of Nine Inch Nails compositions are extremely depressing - although Trent Reznor is a genius! Not the kind of stuff to get you in a good mood - you either want to start a fight or kill yourself. Pretty bleak stuff.

Radiohead are also the same - Thom Yorke also a genius but for goodness sake - cheer up :-)

Annie Lennox - her album 'Bare' - lays her failed relationship out to dry but again pretty depressing stuff.

Soz about not offering specific song titles.

The smiths- last night i dreamt somebody loved me.
Great for when you feel like s**t but want to feel even worse!!
