This is the cutest thread ever on Katatonia board.

Anathema - Sunset of age/ Suicide veil/ Alternative 4/ Judgement
CMX - Talvipäivänseisaus
Depeche mode - Nothing's impossible

Katatonia - Gone/ Sweet nurse
My dying bride - From darkest skies/ Sear me MCMXCIII/ Two winters only
Reverend bizarre - Cirith ungol
Swallow the sun - The ship
The cure - Faith

I still think that Sunwar the dead is the most depressing song I have heard.

 

[tochirock]

this is my list...

opeth - weakness
Anathema - One last good bye
The gathering - Bad movie scene
Theatre of tragedy - ...a distance there is...
Lacuna coil - Falling
antimatter - In Stone
Katatonia - deadhouse
The 3rd and the mortal - why so lonely
Nightwish - walking in the air

[Rick from Oddyssey]

I don't know if I have 10, but here goes :

1 - Exit music (for a film) by Radiohead
2 - Low by Porcupine Tree
3 - The Face of Melinda by Opeth
4 - The Wall and The Final Cut by Pink Floyd
5 - Alternative 4 by Anathema (well, a lot of Anathema songs are REALLY depressing)
6 - Katatonia (artist instead of song, I know, but I can't decide which song is the most depressing)
7 - Correspondences by The Tea Party

oh well, that's all I can think of right now.

 

[i aint play this]

joy division- atrocity exhibition
sunny day real estate- the rain song
the cure- homesick, disintegration, 100 years, siamese twins
opeth- to rid the disease
sonic youth- hoarfrost, sunday
paradise lost- enchantment

this thread kicks butt

 

[LifeDepraved]

Goddamn the whole Discouraged Ones album. The tone of the album all the way through is depressing as fuvk!

 

[Asra]

I agree with just about everything in this topic that I know, and I want to particularly mention these two songs:

Nine Inch Nails - And All That Could Have Been
Portishead - Roads

as a resounding YESYESYESYESYES! AATCHB is one of my favorite songs ever... it was truly my addiction last year. Roads... where to begin? So perfect, so beautiful, so depressing. Listen to them!

 

[wankerness]

YEAH that NIN song is incredibly depressing and great, I've been listening to it a ton the last week or two. "Leaving Hope" off the same album is nearly as depressing (it's just instrumental). Those are probably his best two songs, just amazing.

 

[blacksummer]

katatonia_gone
katatonia_teargas
anathema_one last goodbye
anathema_ parisienne moonlight
anathema_lost control

opeth_hope leaves
opeth_to bid you farewell
opeth_face of melinda
my dying bride_the cry of mankind

[Asra]

I definitely agree with Leaving Hope... one of my favorite instrumentals ever.

11) Requiem For A Dream music theme.

 

[derbeder]

the requiem for a dream theme is more scary than depressing, especially the last version. i saw kronos quartet perform it in a concert and it was even better. once one knows the context in which it appears towards the end of the movie, one might appreciate it even more.

 

[Tone-Deaf]

I agree about "Heartattack In A Layby", but I think that "Collapse The Light Into Earth" is definitely one of their happier songs.

I'll post a list a little later... I need some time to think.

Well, I guess you're right. CTLIE isn't so depressing at all, but it has a depressing flavour, with the piano and lyrics such ''I won't cover my head in the dark and I won't forget you when we part'' (I'm not sure about the lyrics I just write what I hear ).

this thread kicks butt

lol, at first I thought that this thread would be borring, and it would be just like a now playing thread (np thread isn't borring but this thread would be If it was the same)

I agree with those who said that ''all that could have been'' is a great song. Thanks to the one who was so kind to let me download this song.
