I'm one of those people that likes sulking whenever I'm depressed. I can't listen to happy music to snap myself out of it. I get in awfully down moods and I'm looking for music that will suit my moods. Any suggestions?
(btw... I'm a big fan of classic rock mostly. Anything along those lines would be beneficial. But, I'll take anything.)
thx

Classic rock...now this is my cup of tea....
"A Day in the Life" by the Beatles...noticed your screen name : ) (I know there is an upbeat verse or two, but the rest is pretty dreary.)
"Dust In the Wind" by Kansas
"Nights in White Satin" by Moody Blues
"Who'll Stop the Rain" by CCR
"Vincent" by Don McLean
"Dream On" by Aerosmith
Hope this helps...or doesn't help ; ) as the case may be.

I've found I can relate to a lot of Nine Inch Nails songs when I'm depressed. Particularly The Fragile, I Do Not Want This, The Becoming, Gave Up, Somewhat Damaged, The Wretched, A Warm Place, The Way Out Is Through, Something I Can Never Have, and of course Hurt.

I'd listen to Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode (The Darkest Star, Damaged People, etc.), Chevelle (Bend The Bracket, Send The Pain Below), Alice In Chains (Rooster), Audioslave (Like A Stone), Eighteen Visions.......
Personally, I find slow songs like "Bend The Bracket" to be better I'm -feeling-depressed songs than whiny emo ones.

Nah. You want truly depressing songs. Go with
S.I.A. - "Breathe Me" (saddest song ever)
Blue October - "Amazing"
Straylight Run - "Now It's Done"
Rachael Yamagata - "Even So"
I get what you are saying about sitting there and sulking in the music. And though, I like classic rock too, I find that these incredibly poignant songs generally come from really emotional, lyrical writers. All those songs are fantastically depressing.
