how about "suicide is painless"?
NIN hurt is far superior to the Cash version...I like Cash, but Reznor's is the tops. Also, NIN's "all that could have been" is even better than Hurt.
how about "suicide is painless"?
No kidding! Where is "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" and the other 500 depressing tracks from them? They have no Radiohead either.
Also, Belle and Sebastian's "Get Me Away from Here I'm Dying" should have an honorable mention. And Tori Amos' "Hey Jupiter". And how is "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" not on there?
I think I might need to go make a mix now.
Yeah Tori Amos could have about five songs in the top 52. "Winter" comes to mind.
Everybody Hurts - R.E.M
Somebody - Depeche Mode
And "Me and a Gun". I think an a capella song about rape could boot out several of this list's songs.
Great calls on the Tori Amos songs.
Ghost Of Tom Joad by Springsteen is another...
Men walkin long the railroad tracks
Goin someplace theres no goin back
Highway patrol choppers comin up over the bridge
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
Shelter line stretchin round the corner
Welcome to the new world order
Families sleepin in their cars in the southwest
No home no job no peace no rest
The highway is alive tonight
But nobodys kiddin nobody about where it goes
Im sittin down here in the campfire light
Searchin for the ghost of tom joad
He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag
Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag
Waitin for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
In a cardboard box neath the underpass
Got a one-way ticket to the promised land
You got a hole in your belly and gun in your hand
Sleepin on a pillow of solid rock
Bathin in the city aqueduct
The highway is alive tonight
Where its headed everybody knows
Im sittin down here in the campfire light
Waitin on the ghost of tom joad
Now tom said mom, wherever theres a cop beatin a guy
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
Where theres a fight against the blood and hatred in the air
Look for me mom Ill be there
Wherever theres somebody fightin for a place to stand
Or a decent job or a helpin hand
Wherever somebodys strugglin to be free
Look in their eyes mom youll see me.
Well the highway is alive tonight
But nobodys kiddin nobody about where it goes
Im sittin down here in the campfire light
With the ghost of old tom joad
Cat's in the Cradle, Harry Chapin. Pretty cool song, always liked it, and it's not about a deadbeat dad...then what about that song that goes "when you comin home dad?" "I don't know when, but we'll get together then....."
yeesh. I can't stand that deadbeat dad song.
I don't listen to country very much, because most of ALL the damn songs can be on this list, but If You Get There Before I Do by Collin Raye makes me freakin cry every time I hear it.
They forgot Ever So Clear by Bushwick Bill or I Just Wanna Die, also by Bill (on a Geto Boys album though).
"'Til I Die" - Beach Boys
No Fiona Apple?
"Losing my religion" - REM
"Fade to Black"- Metallica
"Home" "Fade"- Staind
No Elliott Smith?
One of my favs...
her cover of smells like teen spirit makes me angry, not depressed.
the video for ever so clear makes it even more depressing. they used to run it on the Austin Music Network in the mid 90s.
soldier of love
also, maggot brain is really depressing. especially considering what happened to eddie hazel later.
"Last Resort" by the Eagles
"Lucky" by Radiohead
"Running to Stand Still" by U2
I can see how this song can get you low, but I've always dug it.
Watching her her damn piano bench makes me want to kill people.
Not to mention the fact that this should void any and all future claims at pretension:
Agreed, by far her worst cover, but she has done some awesome ones. Her covers of the Velvet Underground's New Age and Hendrix's If 6 Was 9 come to mind.
That was the b-side. The song was "Last Kiss"
foiled. thanks.
