Alice in Chains: Down in a Hole

AiC has to have been the gloomiest of the big grunge bands (no mean feat when Kurt Cobain is in the running). Still, they do sometimes make suicidal depression worth listening to.

Everything But The Girl - Angel

EDIT:

Emiliana Torrini - Crazy Love

Croucie D'oú Lá is my favorite album from her. Tons of range and tons of jazz/blues.

Siouxsie & the Banshees - Cannons

Excellent.

Soundgarden: Big Dumb Sex

Hilarious. Also probably contains more uses of the word "fuck" than I've ever heard in one song, though probably there are plenty of rap songs that outdo it in this regard (they probably don't have the decency to use it ironically, though).

The Cure - A Strange Day

So far, it's the first song in Pornography that isn't rubbish. But listening to the album in reverse order is weird, I know it at least has The Hanging Gardens. The album namer is a waste of time, though.

EDIT:

Patti Smith - Dream Of Life

Sexi.

The Cranberries - I Still Do

Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? is way up there in the catchiness ratio. I can't believe I used to think Cranberries was music for depressed people. >_>

EDIT:

R.E.M. - Feeling Gravity's Pull

Pretty interesting imagery they manage to pull off here.

The narcoleptic tone does that. That and Zombie/linger are pretty downbeat.

The cranberries- I still do

Edit- The flys- got you where I want you

One of the better one hit wonder songs of the 90's. The movie the video's based off of (Or was featured in) was utterly unremarkable but it had a couple of really memorable songs from it.

Katie Holmes has a hell of a smile.

It is no secret that Super has horrible taste in music.

And Snow, when you are a depressed Teenager it is nice to think that the things you listen to are written for depressed teenagers, even if it is songs written by 30 year old men singing about rough angry sex.

The Cure - Catch.

Aimee Mann - Humpty Dumpty

All the king's horses and all the king's men. For some reason, I like the original Humpty Dumpty.

What about Morrissey's solo career when he's not wishing he had the age to have gayngst? Granted, his are songs specifically about having rough angry sex with male delinquents.

Aimee Mann - The Moth

Humpty Dumpty, Invisible Ink and The Moth are the album pitches for me. I'd buy almost anything with these three songs in.

EDIT:

Emiliana Torrini - The Man With The Golden Gun

Hot. Just hot.

That is different because Morrissey is crap and boring as all fuck. Irony being, I listened to music the same way you used to and it took me until I was in my mid 20's before I started listening to the Ramones properly. THE FUCKING RAMONES. WHO SING ACTUAL SONGS ABOUT BEING ANGRY YOUNG TEENAGER. And cover Surfin' Bird.

Can't argue otherwise. Besides about half of Viva Hate, Morrissey's music solo is a complete waste of time. I still like The Smiths, but at least then they were still close to their teenage years to make the whole thing less creepy back then.

I'd say something about that, but I used to take Alanis Morissette seriously when I was 13. Sad thing is she may still take herself seriously at this point.

EDIT: Right, musik.

Yeah, I know. My music taste is constant self-parody.

* Jo'ou Ranbu pretends to not have missed the Alanis Morissette music joke off a first glance.

There is layers of Ironic jokes there more than just the Alanis song (you caught those ones). First time in a long while one of my layered jokes has been able to just use one word though. So well done setting that up. Normally I have to slide in and out of sarcasm to get my 3 or 4 level jokes in.
