Obviously this question will mean different things to different people, so what is everyone's favourite depressing album?

Mine would be Joy Division- Closer

I seem to love lots of music that would be considered depressing

Jeff Buckley, Elliot Smith, Billie Holiday, The Smiths, Joy Division, Neutral Milk Hotel...and Johnny Cash's version of Hurt always makes me want to weep.

I like all of those too, although The Smiths do have a very humorous side too, and I am seeing Neutral Milk Hotel on the 14th so excited.

Very much depends on what you mean by depressing. Do you mean that listening to it depresses me? Or the message that is being conveyed is depressing in nature?

"Animals" by Pink Floyd is one of my favorite albums and it conveys a very depressing critique of society as a whole. But listening to it does not depress me.

The Wall is even more depressing to me, especially the first half of the second record. Wish You Were Here also has a depressing vibe.

Call me crazy, but as much as I'm a huge fan of Pink Floyd, I haven't heard their last 3 records. I'll take your word for it though.

I have to echo Pink Floyd's final cut. It's very depressing on so many levels. From the message it conveys through to the fact that it broke the band. Conversely, I also love it for the sheer rage that Roger Waters conveys on that album.

The Turtle and the Flightless Bird is an excellent tragic love song

Going back some but I have always thought that "Bridge over Trouble Water" album by Simon and Garfunkel was depressing with the exception of the somewhat upbeat "Cecilia".......

Totally with you on that one. I do think the best depressing music is also beautiful. My favourite is Elliot Smith "Either/or"

Patsy Cline songs esp if I am super heartbroken I can't listen to them then..

Edith Piaf maybe..

I know my answer are way different than everyone elses..lol..

I love to feel heartbreak because it makes me appreciate happiness more...( I don't at the time happening.)

I'm not sure what my favorite sad/depressing album is. I try to listen to music that counteracts my sadness. I can tell you the most depressing song I have ever heard, it's called The Christmas Shoes. It's so sad it always makes me cry when I hear it this time of year so I've grown accustom to violently turning off the radio when it comes on.

The only Pink Floyd album I can listen to is Piper at the Gates of Dawn, and that is one of my favourite albums ever, Syd Barrett was amazing.
