The most depressing group you have ever heard?

[bennyboy]

Has to be Joy Division. Although there is a beauty about them. The fact Ian Curtis laid his sould bare in his lyrics, then actually killed himself actually emphasises the darkness of the music.

I don't find the Smiths depressing at all. Save for a few numbers, the music is actually very upbeat.

Same here.Love Joy Division but it is the ultimate depressed music.Brilliant but depressing.
Smiths have a lot of funny and uplifting songs sang in a depressing way.
Love the Smiths as well.

I know the sound of their "music" is not downbeat (as in typically depressing tunes) but they depress the fuck out of me because they are so unbelievably fucking talentless and shit

Never been an impediment in the music business....

Solo artist:-

Nick Drake

Although strangely I love his stuff.

He ended his own life at 26.

He was wonderful and certainly not depressing

 

[Semper aggressus]

Death Cab for Cutie.

Great band but fucking hell don’t play them if you’re feeling shitty!

 

[stonerblue]

Nearly all the rap shit or whatever they call it these days, there's not an ounce of joy in the music, it's all crime, guns and depressing song matter littered with bad language. Don't get me wrong I'm not adverse to a good swear word but they take it to far.

Adele is depressing as fuck as well.

Tangerine Dream, went to see them at Free Trade Hall in 70s sometime. Thought they were still tuning up, then the gig ended.

 

[Coatigan]

Bluemoon.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Dippers when those ‘fit for work’ universal credit rules came in

Alice in Chains could be pretty tough to listen to back in the day especially the Dirt album. Lyrics such as ‘I want you to scrape me from the walls and go crazy, like you made me’

Don't mind them myself as far as pop bands go, if I hear them on the radio. Much worse pop bands out there,and I think they wrote songs.Now have Robert Di Niros's waiting in my head :)

now imagine it being sung by a band that could harmonise ;)
