Most of the Joy Division material. Also New Order first album Movement is very depressive. I like it a lot although many thinks it is their worst album.

King Crimson: Almost all the seventies albums. Of course there are kind of positive songs also, but if you´re feeling low, then the good medicine in it are KC songs Epitaph, the Wake of Poseidon, Lizard and Starless for example.

Pink Floyd: Atom Heart Mother. Specially the title track is very depressive, but also in a healing way. There is also very good shorter live version in youtube. Animals is also quite depressive album.

Hawkwind: Warrior on the edge of time and Hall Of the mountain Grill -albums. There are also some positive moments, but they are mostly depressive in a good way.

The Cure: Seventeen Seconds, Faith and Pornography-albums. All very depressive, in Pornography the feelings come near sadomasocism. I don´t know are these albums good to you if you´re thinking suicide, but maybe they are. I like them a lot also.

Wigwam: Being and dark album. Both are quite dark, but just great!

I think most of my albums are at least melancholius, I´m not a kind of "smile in a positive way" -type in my music taste.

I could also 'recommend' the swedish BM-band Shining.

That's some dark suicidal stuff.

la foret may be sad but it doesn't hold my attention and comes off as a bit contrived rather than inspired, also one of my least favorites. Knife Play makes me cry. Hives Hives and Suha are sure to bring a tear to my eye every play.

Hipsters like xiu xiu fake their own depression, really. They're only having a laugh at the expenses of people who are really depressed.

SpaceCadetHayden 01.06.2011 07:03 PM

hipsters are better than trolls.

Genteel Death 01.06.2011 07:07 PM

What's a troll?
