RumbleFox Posted 25 June 2019 Posted 25 June 2019 Hi there After a conversation in a recent thread I thought I would ask what people's favourite depressing albums are? I would rather do full albums than individual songs. Only given it a couple of minutes thought but a few of mine are...... XXX

I rememebr seeing an interview with Hooky and he said they all read Ian's lyrics on Closer and didn't think too hard about them then after he killed himself they listened again and thought "shit, he meant it".

X Yeah, similar to Kurt Cobain in some respects I guess in terms of the pre-emptive lyrics. Still find it utterly mind blowing that he was just 23 at the time too. Have you ever seen Control? Such a brilliant film.

I find it amaizng that most great albums are written by peoplpe in their 20s. I couldn't even do anything now as I approach 40. Yeah, great film. I remember I got the Heart & Soul Boxset with pretty much all of their songs on when I was at uni and it became my best friend. I don't really listen to them much now but I still think Atmosphere is my favourite song ever recorded by anyone. X
lgfualol Posted 25 June 2019 Posted 25 June 2019 Will get mocked but Coldplay's "A rush of blood to the head" always ****s me up. Frightened Rabbit's "Midnight organ fight" is also up there, even more so since the singer unfortunately committed suicide :(
Alf Bentley Posted 25 June 2019 Posted 25 June 2019 Got to get one or two of Bruce's more sombre albums in here....
Soup Posted 25 June 2019 Posted 25 June 2019 Music heals me ??? Anything slightly depressing goes in the bin. Will make for an interesting thread mind
Chico1958 Posted 25 June 2019 Posted 25 June 2019 The Cure Pornography Album The Cure Faith Loved both of them
Guest Electric Yetis Posted 25 June 2019 Posted 25 June 2019 Love both the band and the albums but August & Everything After & Recovering the Satellites by Counting Crows always get me. Also Comfort in Sound by Feeder, released in the shadow of Jon Lee committing suicide.

That first album is amazing. I bought it on vinyl when it came out then gave it to a pal now it's worth quite a bit which makes it an even more depressing album. X
pSinatra Posted 25 June 2019 Posted 25 June 2019 # Any of his American Series. But this album contains his last recordings right up to his death. I think it was about a month before he died & a couple of months after his wife had died. His voice is weak & you can tell he's on his last legs. Absolutely heart wrenching.
MC Prussian Posted 25 June 2019 Posted 25 June 2019 Most of what's played on popular radio is pretty depressing. Read upon the "dumbing down" of music in terms of lyrics and composition: https://www.mic.com/articles/98310/scientists-prove-that-pop-music-is-literally-ruining-our-brains On a serious note: Jeff Buckley - Grace Brilliant, but also brilliantly emotional, sadl and depressive to some extent. Tends to the melancholic and bittersweet. Radiohead
pSinatra Posted 25 June 2019 Posted 25 June 2019 There's a hell of a lot of heroin being taken in this thread.
