I can't listen to "OK Computer" any more because it's too depressing. A few songs on "The Bends" too.

the question is where is TOM WAITS going...

and what's he building in there?...

"Cold" and "One Hundred Years" by the Cure seem to fit this description.

i haven't heard it in years but i distinctly remember that the song "March Or Die" by motorhead made me feel very bleak back when i was a teenager because it was such a departure from a normal motorhead song in that it was a slow dirge.
