This reminds me of a time in the late seventies/early eighties, my last years of high school and first years of college: my best friend at the time was an unreconstituted geek named Larry, who was equally obsessed with music, and who had roughly compatible taste - the third guy who'd usually hang out with us didn't quite get the music thing but (somewhat amazingly) tolerated our endless discussions and playing of oft-obnoxious music. The thing we'd do often is load up a boombox with home-made tapes and drive from bar to bar to cheap restaurant to bar to wherever - often, we'd make themed tapes, or tapes of the entirety of a single artist's output arranged alphabetically (most fun with folks with long and diverse careers, so the juxtaposition factor was increased). Anyway, one of those was dubbed the "driving off a cliff" mix...for yr basic collection of dark, suicidally depressing stuff. _Berlin_ indeed had a heavy presence...as did Joy Division, some of Tuxedomoon...can't quite recall who else. Good times... (Fortunately, none of us actually was suicidally depressed...although I have my doubts about Larry in the long run.

I can understand that nobody's mentioned Mickey Dolenz and/or Donovan. I can even pretend that you guys were waiting for me to chime in with that one. But I figured somebody would've mentioned Carl Wilson, Blondie Chaplin, Scott Miller, Robert Wyatt, and Dorothy Moskowitz (of the United States of America). Jimi Hendrix is a seriously underrated vocalist. There's thousands of people who can play guitar like him, but it's not until you listen to some white guys from Quebec try to sing Purple Haze until you realize what a powerful voice he had. There's about a half-dozen musicians that I'm trying to decide if they're good singers or not (Julian Cope, Jeremy Enigk, Dave "Death of a Clown" Davies and Phil Ochs, for instance) and more that are just floating on the edge of memory (was it Sapphire Thinkers who had that awesome female vocalist?) Anyhow, I say Harry Nilsson beats Rod Stewart, hands down. I don't really like the Screaming Trees, but I love the Mystery Lane album. But then, Lizard is my favorite King Crimson album so it all just goes to show.

It didn't have any "Berlin" on it (since I mainlined that as a solid, straight-through, all-at-once source of sad music), but it had some depressing Elton ("Goodbye" and "Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word"), Roger Waters' esp. bummer PF tunes "The FInal Cut" and "When the Tigers Broke Free," the Rickie Lee Jones one about "the cops...blew Bird away" ("Skeletons," I think). some weepy Loudon Wainwright, yep, Joy Division, too, as well as some others that struck particular personal chords with me (think there was some sad bootleg BuckNicks there as well)...
