Woe is me

Feelin' bad? Blue around the edges? Your girlfriend cheated on you with your dog *and* took your truck away?

Need a soundtrack for your pitiful, misery-filled life?

Brits to the rescue!!!

Here's a list of top 25 miserable songs from The Guardian. Honestly, read it.

Choice bits:

"You Don't Bring Me Flowers is the most egregious example of middle-of-the-road music, so named because if you drive in the middle of the road, you'll eventually die in a head-on collision." (I love this song!)

"...while Robert Smith's neurotic vocals sound like he just got punched in the stomach after eating a three-course meal."

"Clocking in at over seven minutes, Total Eclipse is Wagner's Ring Cycle without the funny hats; the equivalent of an opera company pelting you with copies of Anne Rice novels."

No, seriously, go read it.

And while you're at it - gimme your list of top ten sad, sad songs that make you wanna suck on the exhaust pipe until the whole big, bad world fades away.

(No, I'm serious - I feel PMS coming along, and I will need to medicate soon. Help a girl out - there's only so much depressing Ani one can listen to in a sitting.)
