Depressing Music

demonrail666 · 07.06.2008, 01:56 AM

Isn't Jamiroqui infinitely more depressing than Joy Division simply because his music evokes absolutely nothing when listened to?

my little sister loves cute is what we aim for. they're ultimately, after a few listens, depressing.

ZEROpumpkins · 07.06.2008, 05:03 AM

And I thought this was going to be a discussion about great bands like Slint, Sunny Day Real Estate and Codeine.

What's that? Did someone say depressing!?!

"..and so I do what I do, and at least I exist.."

ZEROpumpkins · 07.06.2008, 06:27 AM

God, that's not Conor Oberst, is it?

Danny Himself · 07.06.2008, 06:33 AM

Oh yeah, I forgot he's not indie enough for everyone. Elliot Smith then? Daniel Johnston? Cat Power?

ZEROpumpkins · 07.06.2008, 06:37 AM

Kate Moss is pretty depressing. Her life is terrible

It's the same reason why I don't find Diamanda Galas depressing at all, but rather she makes me want to enjoy life and listen to her more.

I saw the second most depressing album of all time live recently, Lou Reed's Berlin. (Pink Floyd's final cut has to swoop in to claim first place.)

_slavo_ · 07.06.2008, 07:02 AM

seeing Sex Pistols yesterday was very very depressing. 4 old twats.

Death & the Maiden · 07.06.2008, 07:10 AM

I don't really find any music depressing. Just like I don't find any music scary or threatening.

_slavo_ · 07.06.2008, 07:42 AM

Interesting. I associate feelings with music almost instantly if asked.

final cut is only depressing because it's so bad
it's basically a waters solo album

that being said, "when the tygers broke free" is rather lovely and depressing at the same time.

demonrail666 · 07.06.2008, 09:05 AM

I find The Beatles' Let it Be weirdly depressing. The sound of a great band disintegrating before your ears, but with absolute dignity throughout (Lennon's rather sly between song skits aside).

Sonic Youth 37 · 07.06.2008, 10:25 AM

Elliot and Conor are depressing. I also find Slint mildly depressing.

demonrail666 · 07.06.2008, 10:31 AM

Big Star's Sister Lovers is a straight up dose of 100% depression. And brilliant!

Everyneurotic · 07.06.2008, 12:22 PM

i don't agree with jamiroquai's thing, they make me want to stab random people and steal babies.
