Was kinda sat with Mrs K shuffling through the i-pod and Radioheads 'The Bends' came on. Realised I'd avoided listening to it for the past 10 years for fear it would bring back memories of less happy times.

Is it just me?

No radiohead makes a lot of people commit suicide, why listen to depressing music unless you have the death march on shuffle.

Nine Inch Nails is always pretty depressing. That or McFly.

It's a strange mix is RHead.......sublimely uplifting melody mixed with a fatalistic lyrical outlook. They(Thom)have been in therapy and it's all looking rosier in the graveyard.smile

According to a very good interview in Mojo, Thom has had a little help with his 'Mental Clutter'

Anything by James Blunt... for some reason best known to themselves, my ex's family selected two or three of his dirges for her funeral, yet she couldn't stand the stuff frown

Strangely, I find The Bends liberating. Some nights I'll grab a few beers and scream my house down to it.

Funny, cos I don't find Radiohead depressing at all. What does that say about me?

Damn, I meant to buy Mojo today as I knew there was an article on r'head in it. Anyone else seeing them this year?

In Rainbows is excellent, I dont find Radiohead depressing at all, quite the opposite actually.

If you want depressing try Elliott Smith.

See, I don't find Elliott Smith depressing either, although the guy himself wasn't too happy with life and possibly topped himself.

I can't listen to Field's of Gold by Eva Cassidy. The 'advert' for cancer with that in the background came out just as my mum as diagnosed with a brain tumour.

Stabbed himself to death I read.
Don't get me wrong though, I rate Elliott Smith very highly, almost Nick Drake good.

Think OP meant he gets depressed because the song reminds him of unhappy memories rather than the band.....??

If the above is what you are on about OP there is a song I also avoid 2 actually...Confessions by Usher and get out by jojo, because they bring back unhappy memories for me.
....think I need a few moments on the antidepressants thread now smile

99% of ethnic bling rap shite. God I can't stand it. Everytime that fecking Soldier Boy (woooo) toss comes on the radio I nearly crash the car.
