“Go To Sleep” – Eight Of The Most Miserable Musicians

Eight bands that have made substantial careers out of making us very depressed...

Sue Murphy

Don’t get us wrong! We all love to mellow out on occasion and sob away to some sad music, but sometimes if we are in a good mood and any of these bands come up with the random function on iTunes, we feel like all is lost.  Crack a smile there, Morrissey, would you?

1. Keane

Sorry, we nearly dozed off there with the first line, Keane… Everybody’s doing what?

2. Travis

Travis released Why Does It Always Rain On Me in 1999 and they have basically been raining sad tracks on us since…

3. Radiohead

We’re not sure what’s more depressing here, Thom Yorke’s voice or the actual music…

4. Leonard Cohen

If the title of King of the Depressed existed, Cohen would almost certainly take it. Beautiful music though…

5. Nick Cave

And Cave would be next in line to that particular throne…

6. Morrissey

Morrissey is a little bit miserable both on and off the stage, but seriously, this track would make happy children weep…

7. The Cure

If you can get through The Cure’s Pictures of You without shedding a little tear, you’re a stronger person than any of us…

8. Coldplay

Oh Chris Martin, it might never happen. Just stop…

It just makes us feel like this…
