The saddest song in the world? :cry:

"You'll Never Walk Alone" sung by the Celtic support in full voice certainly stirs the emotion.

Good call

I agree 100% of The Cure's Disintegration, the song or pretty much any other song they have off the same album

My New Order list, cuz why not?

In A Lonely Place Special (I do get a wee bit choked up) Avalanche (Simply stunning) and the winner

Elegia (Not that I'm the type, but if I were to top myself, no more appropriate background music :rip: )

Kristian Valen "Still here"

and I always have to cry at Billy Joel's "Leningrad"

...GODLEY & CREME - 'Cry'...

bob dylan - i want you

ONLY the live at budokan version though

"The man Who Sold The World" Nirvana

'Like A Hurricane' - Neil Young

'Needle & The Damage Done' - Neil Young

agreed. i love neil young. these 2 from the unplugged album are class as well, when he does the whole of like a hurricane on organ and harmonica.

tho my fave version of hurricane is from weld, needle and damage done is a great call.

"Shine On You Crazy Diamond" Pink Floyd

Just a sideline - have you heard Neil Young's soundtrack for the Johnny Depp film, 'Dead Man'? Apparently the whole score was recorded in one take. Great guitar playing and a real feel for what was going on in the film. If you haven't seen it, I'd highly recommend it!

yup got that - neil is a legend.

i love greendale.

"Twenty Four Hours"... the sound of all hope is lost

I'm suprised no one has mentioned Atmosphere by JD. A fantasticly sad song. Manys a time I have had a weep to this

Regret also brings a tear to my eye. Especially live where I have been in floods.

God, I am such a bloody girl

:bag:

Inspirals- Two Worlds Collide

and Sackville as well. A very sad song when you think about it.

alice in chains - don't follow

doubt anyone else has heard that tho :\ohwell:

Hard to pin it down to just one,so here's a few..Enjoyable but sad in one way or another...

Some Distant Memory-Electronic Applecart-Big Audio Dynamite Top Of the World-JAMES Regret(Its the "Just wait till tommorrow...."poignant ending punch in the gut,that got me) LWTUA(without the COME ONS!) Atmosphere Loveless Sirens Hurt-Johnny Cash

"Your confusion, my illusion Worn like a mask of self hate Confronts and then dies"

Has to be Atmosphere for me

To add four more....

SMITHS Suffer Little Children NO Avalanche EDITORS Distance and.. INTERPOL NYC

Editors -Camera

Excellent choice that one, Atmosphere by JD, Find The River by R.E.M., Down The Tip by Aztec Camera and any version of Fields Of Athenry in addition for me.

Wildfire - Michael Martin Murphey

Beck - Little One

Well, really all of Seachange is pretty depressing. If I were to commit suicide, it'd probably be to that album.

Slowdive's Avalyn always gets me too.

A ringing endorsement if ever I heard one :p

"If I Fell" by the Fab Four is a nice little slow number buried on the Hard Day's Night soundtrack, it's supposed to be about a new relationship but the guy is singing about his old one.
