I agree with every one on that list, except #5 which I've not heard of.

I find the newer, slower, acoustic version of Clapton's "Layla" to be far more depressing simply because it's so terrible by comparison to the original, faster version. I hate the acoustic version.

I would like to add Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" to the list. How can you not include a song the guy wrote as therapy for the death of his infant child?

I forgot that one. OK, replace "Hey Jude" for this one. Also add "Edelweiss" on 10th place - Jedi Rock's not really depressive.
I left out lots of songs, some I forgot, some I don't know, some are not depressing to me.

“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

Well fuck me! This is a happy thread!!

Mike and the Machanics - Living years!
All about a bad relationship between son and father, who died before he could tell him how he really felt. - Too close to home man

Not anymore now though, not since I gave them their first Grandson over Christmas. Years they've been waiting for one of them.

Yeah, "Living Years" was a damn fine (albeit depressing) song. Along those same lines, how about Harry Chapin's "Cats in the Cradle"?

There's enough depression in the world to go around without listening to depressing songs.

I was wondering about that.

How much you want to bet that nobody here says Orlando Bloom?

Maybe as a joke now that I've brought it up.

Any heterosexual male who has Bloom on thier top ten actors list is a very rare breed. Not that he's bad, just... bland.
