What is the most depressing song in rock history?

Kudos to "I Know Its Over" and "Decades".

What makes you think that this is sadder than Holland 1945 or Oh Comely?

Far more devastating in my opinion.

Far more devastating in my opinion.

It is such a personal album and Two Headed Boy pt 2 just speaks to me about stuff from my own life. Definately thought the section in Oh Comely starting with the "I know they buried her body with others..." is pretty grim. Even though Holland 1945 has much the same subject matter, the music is quite up-tempo and I find myself tapping my toes to it somewhat

This one always depresses me, i like listening to it though.

Particularly sadistic due to the bouncy tune.

Harry Chapin is the undisputed king of depressing.

How is it possible that this thread has gone on this long without anything from The Wall?

Good call, Madviking. I don't think the music is all that depressing, but every song on that album is awesome.
