I don't know if it's the morbid fascination of an accident scene or what, but I love honest, sad songs (as opposed to dopey, whiney fake sad songs.) So far, the all time winner in this catagory has to be "HOUND DOG, BAY AT THE MOON" recorded by Odetta. Can anyone beat this?

Trimdon Grange has the saddest first line of any song I know.

" Let's not think of tomorrow lest we disappointed be"

It all depends on my mood, I suppose. To me, something really up beat, if it reminds me of a time that was sad will get the tears rolling.
