unclevlad Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 For M....Mad World. Gary Jules' version. Describes despair perfectly, IMO. EDIT: and <WHAPS SELF HARD> for not thinking of Jeremy sooner.....good gosh, half that album fits this category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 I would have said Tears for Fears for Mad World. I like both versions but the original and Hymn by Ultravox are special to me. Numb by Linkin Park Nights in White Satin by the Moody Blues is about unrequited love. I'll include Ordinary World by Duran Duran to make sure it is not forgotten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted October 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 For O, I submit "One Of Us" from ABBA's 1981 album The Visitors. Actually, the whole album is pretty dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 Forgot Knowing Me, Knowing You by Abba for K And Nothing Compares to You by Sinead O'Connor for N. Prince's version is not as sad and The Boxer for B by Simon and Garfunkel For P how about Purple Rain by Prince and Philadelphia by Neil Young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 I had a look at the Q entries and a lot of them I do not know. There are a few Quit songs but the closest one might come to a sad one could ve Quit Playing Games With My Heart by the Backstreet Boys. If the board is satisfied let us move onto R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted October 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 I'm going to go ahead and submit two, just because they are both not just depressing, but depressing in their current relevance. "Refugee" by Kansas "Seasons End" by Marillion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death tribble Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 Rever by Mylene Farmer qualifies as sad Runaway Train by Soul Asylum She's Lost Control by Joy Division. Mind you most Joy Division stuff is not what you would call jolly. Streets of Philadelphia by Bruce Springsteen Tainted Love by Soft Cell. Which is a better pick than Teddy Bear Would Vienna by Ultravox qualify as sad ? If that is true then also Without You by Harry Nilsson for W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death tribble Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 And as Garbage's song is Only Happy rather than I'm Only Happy a replacement I is In the End by Linkin Park and I Want You by Elvis Costello Two late T entries Those Were the Days by Mary Hopkin Take me to Church by Hozier Another W is When Doves Cry by Prince What Difference Does it Make ? by The Smiths Why Does it Always Rain on Me ? by Travis With or Without You by U2 What I've Done by Linkin Park Walking After You by Foo Fighters While my Guitar Gently Weeps by The Beatles/George Harison I had to look this up. None of these are well known. X-Kid by Green Day XIX by Slipknot X-Static by Foo Fighters X-Static Process by Madonna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted October 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 For X, I would nominate Rush's "Xanadu": Held within the pleasure dome Decreed by Kubla Khan To taste my bitter triumph As a mad immortal man Never more shall I return Escape these caves of ice For I have dined on honeydew And drunk the milk of paradise For Y: "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" by Neil Diamond and Barbara Streisand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 The entry for Y has got to be Yesterday by the Beatles I looked at the Z entries and I do not know any of them that sound sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
