a large portion of Tom Waits's catalogue is extremely
sentimental and ultimately quite sad. 'Ruby's Arms' is my
personal favorite.

Others with Vocals include:
Jeff Buckley - hallelujah
Craig Armstrong - let's go out tonight
red house painters - katy song
sunny day real estate - the day's were golden and sometimes
Mogwai - Take me somewhere nice
Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees
Damien Jurado - I will retire

Non Vocals include:
AE - Vietrmx21 and Draun Quarter(at 33bpm)
NIN - Leaving Hope
Brian Eno - Ascent
Squarepusher - My Sound
BOC - Under the Horizon Radar
Telefon Tel Aviv - Track Five (name ?)

I've made a few sad music comps for myself. Those are some
of my favorites off the top of my head.

Plastic Ono Band and Pet Sounds, and that's really just
about the only two albums that can really destroy my mood.
But I'm a glutton for punishment.

i'm surprised no one's mentioned radiohead's exit music (for
a film).

And a LOT of old RPG music, I tear up when I hear some of
the sadder Chrono Trigger/Cross songs.

don't know what it is either, but its sad and nostalgic to
me.

sad music is awesome, i love it. sad music > happy music by
far (not a fan of happy music).

gybe+related bands
some radiohead(although many people think its sad, a lot of
the time doesnt come across to me as sad or depressing at
all)
slint - good morning captain
modest mouse has some
joy division
the cure
nine inch nails - leaving hope, persistence of loss
aphex twin - saw2cd1track1

i feel especially sad when i hear a song from top of the
pops, which is undoubtably shite, again, and then i go
upstairs with my beans on toast and sit on my unsigned ass
and write brilliant music unnoticed.

Hmmm, Jar of flies by alice in chains is one for me, loads
of shit connected to that one.

The main requiem theme is one too.

Roygbiv is a dual edged sword for me as is most boc.

LOADS...

mogwai's ep+2, especially "christmas song."

moon river. why, i don't know.

"wouldn't it be nice?" by the beach boys.

"why people disappear" and "very bad a bitter hand" by his
name is alive

i'm sure there are more but these are off the top of my
head.

for years i couldn't enjoy erik satie's gymnopaedies #1, i
think i saw a movie in high school (in a consumer education
class i believe) about a teenage girl who relentlessly
teased an elderly woman, then the elderly woman died and the
teenager went home and had to look her own grandmother in
the eye, and the soundtrack was gymnopaedies #1. good god
they like to fuck with your head in the us public schools.

Radiohead - Myomatosis: The synths at the end, coupled with
the stange lyrics really throw me. It is a beautiful song

Aphex Twin - Mt St Michael - St Michael`s Mount - The
childlike singing has this effect on me, like it is telling
me that everyone is fucked up, and people fuck up, and they
are fools to let go of their childlike innocence to become a
lying foolish adult.

Pink Floyd - Another Brick in The Wall part 1- With all the
lyrics of abandonment, and the strange sound effects, this
song gets to me and affects me peculiarly.

There are loads of songs which make me feel sad. But I think
you have to be sad to appreciate them fully. Plus I find
them rather more uplifting than sad. Any music which moves
you emotionally is good music.
