You forgot one of John Prine's most depressing tracks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oliKRRw6ACk Arguably about a boy born in an incestuous affair who later finds out via a diary written by his mother/sister. quote:The whole town saw Jimmy on the six o'clock news /  Lamchop also did a good cover of the song. me your dad fucked around with this message at 16:10 on Jun 12, 2017 |

me your dad posted:You forgot one of John Prine's most depressing tracks: Oh drat, good call. That song is depressing as gently caress. John Prine's a master, able to write the most heart-wrenching bleak songs, and then some clever funny songs, and sometimes blending them together. I never thought that song was about incest, but it fits. edit: I always thought the diary was him realizing that he could have many possible fathers, or no mention of a person who could be his fathers, bad things his mom's done, etc. Franchescanado fucked around with this message at 16:22 on Jun 12, 2017 |

The incest interpretation came from here apparently from the liner notes to the Great Days anthology. I used to have that anthology but the booklet would have been lost years ago so I can't reference it directly. Prine's story about the song: John Prine posted:As a child, a neighborhood kid who was always in trouble chose me for a friend. His brothers pushed him around a lot, and his mother generally ignored I also figured he could have many fathers. The line about changing diapers and polishing chrome suggests his mother may have been a prostitute.

You already mentioned Dylan and Leonard Cohen, who are my two favorite song writers. I'd place them in that lineup, along with Kris Kristofferson. Like you said about Prine, he can go from really funny to sad depths real quick and he's great at it. Bob Dylan had some of that in his writing too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=350Pj8Q5d1Y If you're not familiar with Bruce Springsteen's two depressing folk albums, do yourself a favor and listen. The person asking about depressing songs might also like both of these albums, in particular Nebraska, which is about as bleak as it can get. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5C7AdZ2AeFE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi0kWe2ixzU

Any recommendations for more stuff like "Treason" by Naked Raygun? The rest of the album that it's on isn't really as anthemic. The talky bits kind remind me of Slint's Tweez, which I like more than Spiderland (unpopular opinion!). Reminds me of "For Want Of" by Rites of Spring, too.

Misc posted:The Aquabats' later albums and Bomb the Music Industry play all of those things at the same time: Radio Spiricom posted:polysics and freezepop. hopefully devo and the tubes go without saying but ill put them here anyway. if youre interested in something a little less melodic try the units, the screamers, the normal, primitive calculators, polyrock and later bands like brainiac, six finger satellite, lost sounds, and le shok Yeah, I've been fan of Aquabats for a while, and got into Rosenstock and BTMI earlier this year. I haven't heard much from Polysics in recent years, and kinda fell out of Freezepop after Fancy Ultra Fresh. I'll check out the other bands you listed though. I really got into Datarock lately and they are pretty rad. edit: also The Sounds

Country Joe and the Fish weigh in with their weed song. Not exactly one of the subtler or more profound entries in the genre, to say the least, but...well, there's certainly no ambiguity there.

Looking for two very different kinds of song recommendations: 1.) After hearing it in the new season of Twin Peaks, I'm in love with "Shadow" by Chromatics. It sounds like modern The Cure with a female singer. Any similar song recommendations I could pull together into a late night playlist? 2.) I have a hard-to-explain affinity for wistful songs about locations. John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads" would be an example. Simon & Garfunkel's "America" would be another. I'm sure there are a ton of these. I'd like to make a driving playlist of these.

I'm thinking Just Like Honey by the Jesus and Mary Chain, Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before by the Smiths, etc. - can someone point me towards a few spotify playlists or something? (I heard "Inside Out" by the Mighty Lemon Drops the other day and loved it and wanted to listen to more stuff that sounds like that)
