At Seventeen by Janis Ian.

Although many of her songs during that phase of her life were depressing, that's the best. I got to see Janis in concert once, a very good live performer.

Have you heard her comeback album, "Breaking Silence"? Apparently she was not off somewhere taking Xanax. "Guess You Had to Be There," "What about the Love," those are some really down tunes, worthy of her legacy.

I always thought Janis was Carly Simon when it was on the radio in my childhood. I loved "What About the Love."

Anna Begins, time and time again, A murder of one by the counting crows - they remind me of when I was young, I feel like crying when I think of all the things that are only left in my memory.:bawl:

I find mad world so depressing I can not even listen to it.
 
From my own vault of sad songs...

Pink Floyd- Sorrow,Two Suns in the Sunset, Gunner's Dream
Stabbing Westward- Desperate Now, Goodbye, et al on the "Darkest Days" album (also some awesome "sad" art on the cover)
Staind- Blow Away
AFI- But Home is Nowhere
Don Henley- Boys of Summer, New York Minute
Peter Gabriel- Here Comes the Flood, Don't Give Up
Roger Waters- Amused to Death (very moving/sad if you know the back-story. RIP Alf/Bill!!!)
King's X- Cigarettes

And, my all-time saddest song. The dirge from the Terminator 2 soundtrack "It's over. Goodbye". I'm having that sucker played at my funeral! :)
