Topic: Depressing Prog Posted: September 06 2011 at 01:09
When I listen to the Gates of Delerium I always feel like crying by the end of soon. But it's not exactly depressing. It's just amazing. I think the most depressing music is pop, because it depresses me as to how terrible it is.

Anything by Anekdoten is VERY depressive. Same with Morte Macabre.

Guitar Noir (1994) is a dark album by Steve hackett, his darkest for sure. It's very melacholic and romantic....."noir" I guess. But I only get depressed by bad music.

Also, Lightbulb Sun can be pretty depressing at times.

My top 5 depressing prog songs : 1-Mommy Leave The Light On -The Flower Kings. Not exactly a depressing band but that song is just too much. 2-The great escape/ The last of you/ Falling from the moon- Mariliion. Maybe for personal causes because when Brave came out I was breaking up 3-Exit music (for a film)-Radiohead. Musically i would say the most depressing one.That final line is desperate. 4-Playboy mommy- Tori Amos. A very dark album.I am not one to cry at songs, but that one comes close 5-Autumn-Peter Hammill. Most of the "over"album would qualify.

Porcupine Tree sounds cold and depressing to me. Can't stand them!

I find Radiohead Kid A et seq to be particularly bleak, although I do enjoy them.
