I don't know if this poll has already been made on this website, but this is a specific kind of subgenre that I've always found fascinating, maybe because I myself tend to write about sadness, loss, and all kinds of depressing stuff, so I wanted to know what you guys think is the best album of this kind.

In this poll I've only included albums written by a single songwriter, thus disqualifying albums like Unknown pleasures and Skeleton tree. I'm sure I omitted a lot of great albums that I haven't heard or that I've just forgotten about. Please feel free to comment.

A Crow Looked at me best exemplifies true sadness and depression.

Where's Jim Croce? Anything of his utterly destroys me.

Is it solipsistic in here or is it just me?

Absolutely agree. That album was beautiful and absolutely devastating. It so perfectly exemplifies grief and loss

A Crow Looked At Me is in a different league, I can't even call it depressing because that's just not the right term for it.
