ManimalX, I seriously doubt you were referring to me, but it's probably better to explain why I think those songs are sad.
Roxy Music's More Than This- Depressing when you really understand that there is nothing more than this.
Peter Gabriel's In Your Eyes- Try listening to this when you haven't met the love of your life.
Most songs from The Cure are automatically depressing.
StephK, my cousin, who's also one of my best friends, is obsessed with Morrissey. I've always liked him, but I never knew too much about his music until her. Now I've listened to every song he's ever written. I even saw him in concert twice last year. The second time he played Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself. That song is wonderful, and admittedly depressing. Then again, it's Morrissey. Of course it's depressing. Recently, I bought his last Greatest Hits on vinyl. I was happy to own it, but when you open it up, you see his behind. That...I was not happy to see. I know you didn't open up the floor for conversation about him, but I felt like sharing. As far as Elliott Smith, I'd recommend Pitseleh, Angeles, 2:45am, and Alameda to you. Pitseleh's on XO, but the rest are on Either/Or. All sad songs, all magnificent.
rlj, Fade to Black is one of the few Metallica songs I like. Definitely a sad one. And you mentioned New Order. I love them. I guess it's safe to add the entire Joy Division catalog to this topic.
