here, I'll try to put a list together (In no particular order):

1. Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies
2. Alice in Chains - Dirt
3. Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
4. Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
5. Pelican - Australasia

 All five of these albums make me feel like crap. Enjoy ;)

yes i was just about to mention this band, as mnay pople forgot about them.

ulver's newest, "Shadows of the Sun", may just be the most depressing album I've ever heard. Definitely one of them.

That CD woke me up today! Smile  hadnt listened to it in a little while but i have it on again right now and definitely agree with the description, although the most depressing album has to go to Dirt. no topping that. Wow , i think i like Ulver. A lot.

It's not quite spot-on, but Fear of a Blank Planet by Porcupine Tree has some really depressing lyrics.

Heresie is darker than 1313, in my opinion, David.

If you want darker than that though, try Shub-Niggurath's Les Morts Vont Vite, or even their self-titled.

I see L.A. Woman, that's good. "Love Her Madly," "Been Down So Long," "Cars Hiss Past My Window," "Hyacinth House," "Riders on the Storm," all shall suffice. The Wall also fits the pattern, Floyd at their best and most depressing.
 
But no one's mentioned Minstrel! Tull's Minstrel in the Gallery is all real downbeat (it's about Ian divorcing his wife), and it helped me through some tough times.

Well Shub-Niggurath are both, so I guess it beats Univers Zero easily. Wink

Don't forget Present either, of course.

Yep, you need some Anathema.

I'd also recommend The Butterfly Effect, and their Imago album. They sound a bit like Dredge ... not prog rock, but still good.

I agree. I love it. Although I love others more. Still. I love it.

Highly recommended for those who want depressing music.

Another recommendation would be Pink Floyd's "Echoes"...not the rest of the album so much, but when I used to get depressed a lot "Echoes" was a track I spun very regularly.

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!
