    I used to think that the lyrics were 'Suicide is Dangerous' until recently.

    WTF? I think you mean fade to black which has the cheerful verse of

    I have lost the will to live
    Simply nothing more to give
    There is nothing more for me
    Need the end to set me free

    Anything by Joy Divison and Papa Roache's Last Resort was some shite nu-metal teenage melodromatic sucide/attention seeking thing.

    Edit: Otherside by The Red Hot Chilli Peppers is very depressing as well.

    surely the suggested tracks are the last thing you want to play to the clinically depressed. It's bound to send at least some of them over the edge.

    I reckon you want stuff like 'shiny happy people' to cheer them up about. Hell, or even 'the birdie song' much more likely to release them from their melancholic malaise than some of the stuff being suggested here.

    Gloomy Sunday - Sung by (among others) Billie Holliday, written by Rezsoe Seres

    This song is so depressing, it was banned in Hungary - the birthplace of its author - where it was blamed for a sharp increase in suicides. In America, the English version was also banned by some radio stations and nightclubs.

    And, for anyone who doesn't know this song, here's some background to what is probably the most depressing song ever written:

    New York Times, January 1968:
    Budapest, January 13. Rezsoe Seres, whose dirge-like song hit, "Gloomy Sunday" was blamed for touching off a wave of suicides during the nineteen-thirties, has ended his own life as a suicide it was learned today.
    Authorities disclosed today that Mr. Seres jumped from a window of his small apartment here last Sunday, shortly after his 69th birthday.

    Mr. Seres complained that the success of "Gloomy Sunday" actually increased his unhappiness, because he knew he would never be able to write a second hit.

    The whole of "Spike" by Elvis Costello. Even the track "Veronica", which on the surface is pretty upbeat, concerns itself with his grandmothers slide into senile dementia.

    A Scottish guy who I used to work with and who was a connusieur of this dark sort of stuff always felt a band called Arab Strap were the masters of the genre.
