Recommend me some depressing slow music... - I love it...

[Rebelde para Siempre]

Recommend me something slow soothing and calming. If its depressing, all the better.

[Pete]

Jeremy - Pearl Jam

[antieverything]

I recommend Sigur Ros...they sing in Icelandic so you won't be able to understand anything but that's ok.

Rufus Wainwright is an amazing songsmith...imagine hearing a song with about 10 tempo or time changes...in about a minute. Most of his stuff is pretty mellow.

The Screaming Trees are (were) a pretty good acoustic rock band and they're pretty mellow...try looking for their great cover of John Lennon's "Working Class Hero".

Of course, Radiohead.

The song "Smoke and Blow" by Mr. Pookie will put you to sleep...but in the good way.

Dredg is an amazing modern rock band with some pretty good slow songs...listen to "Same Ol' Road", "Of The Room", "Triangle", "Whoa Is Me", but that'll just get you started!

[Rebelde para Siempre]

Thanks, btw Crazypete that's a great song but I already have it.

[El Brujo]

Type O Negative, Type O Negative and more Type O Negative. Their a must if you like slow, depressing music.

[El Brujo]

Oh yeah, and The Cure.

[American Kid]

check out a Scottish band called "Mogwai."

-ak

[synthesis]

Soundgarden - Head Down
Led Zeppelin - Tangerine
Jimi Hendrix - The Wind Cries Mary
Jimi Hendrix - Little Wing

Can't really think of too many more... slow & depressing really isn't my style. I think Burning Spear might have some stuff for ya, but canikickit would be better with that.

[pay feo 2003]

why? what happened to you?

anyway, this is a song trying to be slow...maybe it will make you laugh.

The Song That Wont Go Fast - by S.O.D.

this is the song that wont go fast

try to sing along but it wont last

stand around and wait for the blast beat

anxiety tickles both your feet (or anxiety get the fuck off me)

this is going no where really slow

is there a freaking chorus? do you know?

this is the song that wont go fast

this is the song that dont get fast...


amen!

[noon]

mogwai will kill him but it worth listening to....

i recommend explosions in the sky, it's instrumental and emotional.

the new beck.

and anything by joy division.

[suffianr]

For relatively slow & depressing, I'd recommend White Pony (Deftones), or Dummy (Portishead). But promise me you won't try to shoot yourself afterwards.

[mentalbunny]

I recommend Karl Jenkins and Coldplay

[pixie]

Portishead and Radiohead

Coldplay - A Rush of Blood to Head is an indescribably beautiful album. I love it to bits.

Radiohead - OK Computer is my favourite album of all time. It's even more beautiful than Coldplay lol. I've listened to it upwards of a thousand times in the 5 1/2 yrs I've had it and I'm still discovering new parts to it and new ways of enjoying it.

Tool - Aenima...you can get lost in this album like no other. It is so emotionally touching that you'll find yourself crying and screaming along with it (well I did anyway lol).

DJ Shadow - Endtroducing is also an essential album for chilling to. Shadow has an untouchable way of combining hip hop, acid jazz and dance to sound incredible.

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here is a fuckin incredible album for the summer and when under the influence. It's so distant and tripped, yet so close.

The Cure - Bloodflowers...another beautiful album. Ideal for when you're having girl trouble (I'd know lol). Something about Robert Smith's voice is so touching.

Deftones - White Pony is the first, and only chilled metal album, as far as I'm aware. Even the "metal" tracks off it have a hynoptic beauty to them. And Knife Party and Passenger (with Tool's Maynard) will send shivers down your spine.

From Autumn to Ashes - Too Bad You're Beautiful...OK this isn't so much slow and soothing, but it is just about the most depressing music in the world. I never knew hardcore could be so emotional.

[Politrickian]

Hammerfall - Glory To The Brave... Get the video clip, it's starts of in a graveyard with the singer laying a flower on a grave. Is that despressing enough for you?

[ComradeJunichi]

Guns and Roses - November Rain

Wow. Gives me memories, and even tears. Great song.

[Pete]

Matt Good strikes a cord in my depressed body.

[Lefty]

Smashing Pumpkins. Any of their stuff is good and depressing, especially their album "Siamese Dream."

I most definately concur with the deftones, sigur ros and radiohead. Oh, yeah radiohead. Also, I like trance music for that mellow, depressed mood. I reccommend Paul Oakenfold.

[Your time will come]

Fade To Black - Metallica
Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name
One - Metallica
Led Zeppelin - Babe I'm Gonna Leave You
Pink Floyd - Echoes (23 min!)
And all songs of Nick Cave

[Guardia Bolivariano]

Heroes del Silencio

Smashing punkins

[suffianr]

Coldplay - A Rush of Blood to Head is an indescribably beautiful album. I love it to bits.

They won 2 awards in the Brit Awards! Nice anti-war statement too...

[Fabi]

Leonard Cohen fits the profile, too...

And check out 'Still' by NIN ... It's mostly piano and really beautiful... Especially check out 'the Fragile' (still version) and 'leaving hope'

any version of 'Something I can Never have' would be great, too...

check back and tell us if you liked any of our recommendations.

[mentalbunny]

How could i forget about NIN! Yeah, Downward spiral is incredible, you have to get it.

[Fabi]

yeah... but the downward spiral isnt really slow and sad...

only HURT and A WARM PLACE would fit that profile IMO...

[ComradeJunichi]

I feel right now, punk doesn't really do it. I havn't listened to any punk lately, which is weird. I havn't listened to much metal either, or anything.

I've been listening to lots of Smashing Pumpkins. Also Zwan, I don't know why. It's just really soothing and smooth. I've been listening to the Pumpkin's softer stuff. I don't know how, but Billy's voice is also soothing and...the music is mellow and just...soothing. It's really good stuff.

[El Brujo]

Any of Nirvana's slow stuff. "Something in the way", "Polly", "Dumb", "All Apologies", "Lake Of Fire", etc.

[Pete]

Nirvana - Half the Man I used to Be,

Nirvana - Half the Man I used to Be

LOL, that's not a Nirvana song. It's either Stone Temple Pilots or Pearl Jam, I'm pretty sure it's the former. They're basically the same band.

[Pete]

My bad. I just wen through my collection of mp3's. Lol.

So another additon, the entire Live album THROWING COPPER and the one before it.
