What is the saddest song ever?

Neil Sedaka - Solitaire
Carpenters - Desperado

James Taylor - Fire and Rain
Pearl Jam - Black (Unplugged)
U2 - One
Oasis - Don't Go Away
Nine Inch Nails - Something I Can Never Have
AC/DC - Ride On

I'm so lonesome I could cry - Original by Hank Williams Cover by The Cowboy Junkies. Both good
Ennui - Lou Reed
Those Three Days - Lucinda Williams...painful

I'm gonna have to go with Samuel Barber's Adagio for strings, i dunno what it is about that song but it just cuts right through me, especailly when i'm watching platoon

Needle And The Damage Done - Neil Young is a great one, agreed. Should check out Needle Of Death - Bert Jansch, which Young's song is really just a take on. Both awesome songs.

And how did i manage to leave Street Spirit out? >.<

Pearl Jam- Last Kiss
George Harrison- All Things Must Pass

Black Veil- DMB

Amazing Grace
Skin- Rascall Falts Any one who has known or been through cancer should know what this songs means. Ive had 4 friends and 2 family members die from cancer so this one strikes home
