    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!

    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.

    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!
    ...its lets ROCK!

    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.

    For relatively slow & depressing, I'd recommend White Pony (Deftones), or Dummy (Portishead). But promise me you won't try to shoot yourself afterwards.
    The prolonged barrage engulfed Zero-One in the glow of a thousand suns. But unlike their former masters with their delicate flesh, the machines had little to fear of the bombs' radiation and heat. Thus did Zero-One's troops advance outwards in every direction. And one after another, mankind surrendered its territories. So the leaders of men conceived of their most desperate strategy yet. A final solution: the destruction of the sky.

    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.

    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?
    &quot;i don&#39;t think i&#39;ve ever been quoted in a sig before. and i wasn&#39;t exactly in my best element there though some could argue against that. but all the same i&#39;m there. so, cool. &quot; -Diana

    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.
    Direct action is key- don&#39;t just sit at your computer and rant at leftists you disagree with slightly- get out there and DO IT. Organize. Change your life, and change the lives of those around you. The reason the waterheads are still in power is because we aren&#39;t being loud enough.
