time for you to buy some new CDs by some new bands.
that song was just another top 40 hit of the week but has been long forgotten by those of us who actually like music and listen to it on a regular basis.

but not everyone can have the correct opinion.

[spiderman_2k]

Opinions aren't something that can be right or wrong, only facts can...You could consider something to be the great while I consider it terrible, thats what opinions are for, without them we would all be the same and like the same things, and that would be boring.

[Tony Montana]

Everybody hurts - REM

[Doomsday]

Kansas-Dust in the Wind

For No One-The Beatles

[AnGeL's_BaBe03]

Come as you are - Nirvana

[JBond]

Don't forget Immortality

[sphericthor]

Every Rose Has Its Thorn - Poison

[Oj]

The first depressing song that comes to mind is Mad World, by Tears for Fears.

[Macbane]

I was just gonna reccomend Mad World by Gary Jules, as well.

[Optimus Magnus]

Cats in the Cradle is a Cat Stevens song (or is Harry Chaplin his real name?)

"Soul One" by Blind Melon
"My Immortal" by Evanescence

[MazzaRedd]

[DangerMouse]

Depressing?

Anything ever recorded by "The Smiths".

Lyric example:

"And if a double decker bus, crashes into us. To die by your side, what a wonderful way to go."

[Halofan1]

Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd
So Yesterday by Hilary Duff :D

[redman]

time of ur life - greenday.

i found that sad because it was used in the final episode of seinfeld. my fav show.

[JustAnAlias]

Bohemian Raphsody----greatest song ever though

[FVD]

Limp Biscuit has made Behind Blue Eyes far more depressing than the original by the Who. At least Roger Daltrey sang the song with authority.

I suggest all you kids who have never heard the original download it immediately. You'll appreciate it more.

FVD.

[Radiohead]

elderly woman behind a counter in a small town
nothing man
yellow ledbetter

People get the wrong impression of this song and think it's a good goodbye song and stuff - many people use it as a graduation song. The song really basically means "Hey - we went out, you broke up, and i'm glad we broke up because you suck, biatch! In the fizzo!"

[sabin26]

Stabbing Westward's CD The Darkest Days has some pretty depressing songs.

[zamphir66]

i believe Cat's in the Cradle is a Harry Chapin song. I own a lot of Cat's compilations, and its not on any of them. I know if you search for that title on KaZaa or something, it says Cat Stevens as the artist, but that's just not right i don't think. i think people make that connection b/c of his name Cat.

[Dione]

You're right, "Cat's in the Cradle" is by Harry Chapin, not Cat Stevens.
