Following a thread on another board were "Most Depressing Albums" was the topic. Alot of good ones were named but one stood out to me. Nick Drake: Pink Moon. I downloaded it (i'm broke and wanted to see if it was any good) and I instantly loved it (I plan on buying the boxset thats out there).
For all who don't know, Nick Drake makes Folky Music thats just him and his guitar (sometimes a piano). He made 3 or 4 albums I believe until his death at the age of 26 due to an overdose of Anti-Depressants. He had been battling depression (obviously). Hes was an English musician that is said to have never found his "crowd" (that statement makes me very sad). He then became found again after VolksWagon used one of his songs in their commercials.
Another one of his albums that is in my possesion is Five leaves Left. A song called River Man on the album is now my favorite song of all time. More people should listen to Nick Drake...or atleast give him a spin and see how you like it.
