    (Actually its by GnR) It's on the "best song" poll too. This one now has the distinction of being on both threads.

    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."

    Carly was a little Sprite of Happiness compared to Janis.

    Every track from the album "The Final Cut" by Pink Floyd. That CD makes me cry sometimes.

    Gosh I didn't like that one at all. I'm glad someone did. The demise (or sellout) of all the progressive rock bands as punk, disco and corporate rock took over made me cry.

    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!
