I think Fish (with Marillion or solo) has to be prog rock's number one choice for songs about crappy relationships. Long Cold Day, springs particularly to mind.
Otherwise you could try the Cure, and cheer yourself up afterwards by laughing at Bob Smith's haircut.

Yes, specially the album Pronography and Disintegration.
Don't you dare make fun of Robert's hair.   Blackmore's Night's Now and Then is also for you.Read the lyrics and weep.

I am in a situation where I like this girl a lot, but she doesnt like me. I need some albums that reflect these feelings. They dont have to be progressive at all, just quiet, and depressing like some singer/songwriter thing possibly. Thanks |
Even though sounds unhealthy in your situation, try some Cat Stevens.
Tea for the Tillerman: Songs like Sad Lisa or hard Headed Woman will really bring you down
Now if you are really a masochist, go with Lady Darvanville, from the album Mona Bone Jakon, you can't get anything more depressive.

Brothers In Arms/Love Over Gold - Dire Straits have some amazingly bleak moments, though those are interspersed with uplifting tunes. Perhaps some of Ulver's post-rock efforts would be worth checking out. The Doors can be pretty depressing for more than one reason.

I'll be more specific with Blackfield. The track 'Someday' is good for you.

"Over" by Peter Hammill is THE album for you, though it looks at a relationship from its end, while yours has not even started. but the general feeling is pretty much the same

well perhaps the lyrics express that, but Over is overall a bea-u-ti-ful album, doesn't depress me - and I'm not saying it couldn't be some disturbing, sad, dramatic or cold pieces in there, I just mean it doesn't make me depressed.

Blackfield would do some really good things for you.
Anatema's Alternative 4 and Judgement can bring you to tears if you connect with it.
Porcupine Tree's Lightbulb Sun is their most melancholic out of the whole catalogue.
The ultimate will definately be 'Remedy Lane' by Pain of Salvation, one of the most emotional albums of all time.

pelican - australasia
Completly instrumental metal, and it depresses the hell out of me for some reason. Lots of repetition, minor chords, ect.
Edit: NIN - The Downward Spiral. That was my preteen angst album, and it still kicks me.

Lots of PTree/Radiohead/Pineapple Thief I guess.
Though my personal preference would have to be Paatos' Timeloss. There's just something about that one.

The ultimate song for me is:
Megadeth - In my Darkest hour
It's metal, but pretty calm (except the wild&fast ending)
