The irony is that The Smiths songs are all very funny and not depressing at all, you need to listen to the words.

You are probably right DWB but just the sound of that blokes voice makes me turn it off.

I'm assuming you mean the Gary Jules cover? Tears for Fears version is cracking but then again the whole album 'The Hurting' is.

Most depressing, hmmmm thats tricky. Personally I can't listen to 'She's leaving home' by The Beatles without blubbing like a child, however, I'm not sure if thats the same as depressing.

No, not at all, that's emotional in a different way, plenty of songs have that effect on me, including their "Hey Jude". I'd go along with Gary Jules' version of "Mad World" though, although I also find "Mull of Kintyre" pretty depressing.

Gloomy Sunday by Billie H well is apparently the most suicidal song in history. Cheerful woman!

And the Smiths are genius!

Just listened to it and that now takes my top spot. Good shout Paul.

Although the most suicidal song in history was just unsubstantiated urban legend.

Billie Holiday without a doubt.

In my late teens i had a really bad patch after dropping out of Uni and subsequently finding myself out of work, Musically i wasstruggling to find anything to listen to either and basically spent all day listening to the Lady Sings the Blues soundtrack, which whilst being Diana Ross was all BH songs .
I went from being a bit down to almost suicidal over the following couple of months and I am sure that tape contributed.
As I have mentioned on a number of music threads, one of my few mates I had not alienated with my depressive drunken episodes, probably because I hadn't seen him for six months, turned up with the first Clash Album and that truely started to change things, initially by not having those dirges playing 24/7....

I know the standard joke is leonard cohen / the smiths are really depressing songs , but to me they are not in BH's league.

Mind you Billie didn't have a lot to be chirpy about
 
Most depressing song ever? "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles", seeing as those Hamster scum only ever sing when they're winning it's usually bad news when it gets an airing!
