Possibly the most depressing song ever

[Hawaii Five-O]

you guys like Bob Dylan?

Ah, haha. Funny you should mention that. My Dad does Elvis "tributes" (Impersonations) all the time and he sings that song nearly every show. It really is a moving song.

Here he is doing his thing.

Kinda like Elvis and The Rev. Horton Heat!

Yes. Pick any number of Vietnam era songs (Dylan, Phil Ochs, etc.) and I can get depressed.

Bob Dylan may be one of the best songwriters of all time however I can't stand to listen to a lot of his stuff for more than like 10min.

Okay Avril Lavigne may be hot but she has absolutely no right to do that song. There is like NO feeling in her voice in comparison. It is however good when Dylan does it which I can't say for a lot of his stuff.

Bob Dylan is incredible. Best singer/songwriter of all time IMO. Also not the most depressing song ever, but have a listen to [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH8-lQ9CeyI[/ame] (bad compression).

...songwriter, maybe, but best singer? I'd have to disagree with that :lmao:

Muddy Waters - Goin' Down Slow (my favorite version is by Duanne Allman)
Boz Scaggs - Loan Me a Dime
Savoy Brown - Life's One Act Play
Robert Cray - I Wonder


.... off the top of my head

when he was younger he sounded better, but he must of smoked too many cigarettes since then as he sounds like a smoker singing.

dunno 'bout that ... rainy day women was an early tune ...

[Flower Child]

on the bob dylan note. i love his stuff. he doesnt have the best voice but very distinctive. i guarenteed if you heard one of his songs you could recognize his voice.

i love mad season. absolutely love them. very very depressing. long gone day is the MOST depressing song in the world. if you dont know it then go listen to it because IT IS. i repeat-------- LONG GONE DAY- MAD SEASON. listen to it.

Pearl Jam's 'Jeremy' isn't exactly your average singalong...

 

[Flower Child]

am i the only one who thinks this song is off the hook. please i need backup.

 

[Flower Child]

i think long gone day might be an aquired taste. but anyway---i like jeremy. if you like pearl jam, i have recently discovered Eddie Vedders soundtrack for Into the Wild and it is very beautiful. i listen to it everyday.

 

[Chris of Arabia]

Love the song, but it's not exactly an uplifting subject

 

[monkeykoder]

I'd have to say Jeremy is probably Pearl Jam's LEAST depressing song. I'd possibly go with Black.
