The most depressing group you have ever heard?

[ZenHalfTimeCrock]

This cover version of the song ‘Chatterton’ (originally performed by Serge Gainsbourg) might get some people’s vote.

It consists of a list of famous people who either committed suicide or went mad.

I love it.

Aside from bands like Joy Division and The Smiths (who I think are great), Cowboy Junkies are surely contenders.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Coldplay...

Depressing cunts.

 

[chesterbells]

Is the right answer.

I’m surprised anyone else is being considered tbh pal.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Cocteau Twins.

 

[Dial M 4 Mercer]

Soul II Soul singing’Back to Life’

 

[city2]

The smiths hands down the overall winner.

 

[Maccblue]

Has to be Travis for me
Who is yours?

First thing that entered my head when I read the title
Used to have an old central heating that sounded just them when it fired up

 

[tonyfc]

Thalia Zedek

Depressingly good

I like a bit of Come. Feel awful afterwards though.

 

[staffsblue]

"Holy Bible" era Manic Street Preachers.
Richey was clearly in a very dark place when he wrote those lyrics, but somehow James managed to fashion pop songs of sorts around them.
