The 25 Most Depressing Songs...

According to the guy who wrote the article.

[livejournal.com profile] scarcrest passed this along. Someone on his list posted it in her journal. However, here's the original article from the Guardian.

There is some good snark in here. [livejournal.com profile] reannon busted the author on a factual error in his write up on "My Immortal" by Evanescence. But I think his critique of Celine Dion's cover of "All By Myself" is perfect:

20. All By Myself Celine Dion (1996)
The Canadian superstar's bombastic cover of Eric Carmen's 1970s hit about loneliness is the audio equivalent of the fire-bombing of Dresden. Celine's vocal histrionics surpass the blood-soaked psychic fury which slaughters the prom-goers in the movie Carrie. Had Ms Dion been around during D-Day, the Allies could have dropped her off at Omaha Beach with a PA system and have her sing All By Myself until the German infantry bayoneted themselves.


*wipes a tear* It almost makes me wish for another D-Day. My, I'm bitchy this morning.
