Blaise, if I had never seen how dark you are in PYP, I would swear you were white. If only for your taste in music in this thread. >_> Eclectic taste ftw though brah.

 

lol Blaise is white don't let those photo-shopped pics trick you.

 

How can you like only one Beatles song? Even people who don't think they are/were the greatest rock band ever have several Beatles songs they love. Anyway, "Hey Jude" and "Eleanor Rigby" are both awesomely sad, but "Yesterday" is better by far, and "Let It Be" is also sad and incredibly good.

Diana Krall is talented and hot - 'nuff said.

And "Blue" is all the more incredible for Rimes being about 14 when she recorded it.

My contributions:

"Crazy Faith" by Alison Krauss & Union Station

"The World I Know" by Collective Soul

"Say Goodbye" by Dave Matthews Band

"Until I Fall Away" by Gin Blossoms

"November Rain" by Guns N' Roses

"He Went to Paris" by Jimmy Buffett (fuck off, it's awesome)

"Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" and "Disposable Heroes" by Metallica (the uber-awesome Master of Puppets album)

"Carnival" by Natalie Merchant

"Black" and "Release" by Pearl Jam ("Black" is possibly my all-time favorite song)

"Jumper" and "How's It Going To Be" by Third Eye Blind

"Cry To Me" by Tom Petty

"Go Rest High On That Mountain" by Vince Gill (hey, it was for his dead brother, give the guy a break)

Most of the songs by Pink Floyd and Sarah McLachlan and almost everything by Toad the Wet Sprocket (they're all three still awesome though)

 

Into the Light by In This Moment

Not a real vid of the song, more of a mash of a bunch of girls.

The song though, is amazing in my humble opinion.

 

Creepy and sad in an elegant way.

 

Citizen Cope? Fuck yeah!

Good choices all around. I'll be pretty surprised if anyone's ever heard of this band, but they're legendary in their homeland. I've never in my life heard a group who made you feel the music so powerfully you never needed to understand the lyrics.

Forever Love (the final performance; very emotional & bittersweet)
The Last Song
Tears
Crucify My Love
Unfinished
Say Anything
Without You (at memorial ceremony for their lead guitarist)
Longing

I am aware they look completely ridiculous.

EDIT:

If you liked that, try Smoke. Same artist; better song.

 

Blooming Heather - Kate Rusby

Duet - Rachael Yamagata

Porcelain - Helen Jane Long

Just a couple that came to mind.

 

Obvious choice :

Dust in the Wind - Kansas

Less obvious, but for a Beatles fan like me, of particular significance :

Here Today - Paul McCartney

 

Most of this is more nostalgic than sad.

Handlebars, Flobots.

Bulletproof...I wish I was, Radiohead.

Little Pollyanna, Kristy Kruger.

The Last Fight, Velvet Revolver.

Let There Be Morning, The Perishers.

Flashbax, Oasis.

Until The Morning, Thievery Corporation.

Weekend Wars, MGMT.

I Try, Macy Gray.
