Not a fan of depressing music myself, but I can tell Burzum's Filosofem is a great and very depressing album (and atmospheric too!):
I highly recommend that one!

That's probably the best example of "ambient black metal" i've heard. i agree that it's great.

With all these recommendations this dude is seriously gonna think about killing himself. Shouldn't he try happier moody songs? At least your gonna notice it's gonna make you feel a little better even though it still hurts.

Eh these suggestions aren't just for "that guy"...I, and many other people who have posted here like depressing music as well, and here's a thread for them to look in!
At any rate, I doubt this guy'll get but a very few (probably the first few) of the suggestions mentioned. the others I think were more for the sake of the thread.
At any rate, I listen to LOADS of depressing music (hardly anything but) and I'm perfectly content...so who knows?
Also, when I AM depressed, happy music just makes it worse. I need something introspective and darker to soothe me--something to relate to, not wish for. But that's my take: Yes is the worst possible band to listen to when depressed in my experience, Ulver and Radiohead are two of the best.
But who knows for sure? Everyone's wires are arranged quite differently.
EDIT: Also, Nice avatar d00d.

Good point, I was just making a suggestion to make this guy feel "better". But just like you said everyone's wires are arranged differently. But even I listen to depressing music all the time (well not all the time, but most of the time) and even my favorite bands come from this background so I guess it's up to how the persons wires are arranged.  And thanks.

^^^Yeah...
I'm not sure why, but I definitely tend to go in for "depressing" music waaaay more than other types of music.
It just gives me more breathing room, more room to think, and to expand...to introspect and whatnot.
I just enjoy it more.
Not to say I don't like happier music, I just don't "prefer" it I'd say.

Well I dunno. But I'd have to agree it does give you the space to think which is a good thing unless you think of the wrongs things . But hey it's just life.

Still Life by Perry Blake (acoustic trip hop)
Alternative 4 by Anathema
From the Choirgirl Hotel by Tori Amos
Out of Myself by Riverside
I am a Bird now by Antony and the Johnsons (this one is really really sad)
And for someting heavier, I'd say any album from My Dying Bride ;)

The ultimate depressing album has to be Berlin by Lou Reed. His best mind you.
