Best 3 'melancholy' albums

[kaber]

Occasionally feel-good music just does not hit the mark and I listen to some 'melancholy' music from my student days for a change.

My Top three are:

() Stina Nordenstam - And She Closed Her Eyes
This still sounds amazing to me even after ten years

() The Sundays - Reading,Writing And Arithmetic

() The Smiths - The World Won't Listen

 

[Cassis]

I've always liked melancholy music, so much of what I have fits that description. One I particularly like (although I haven't listened to it all that much lately) is Ian McCulloch's Candleland.

 

[MsMofoGone]

Pink Floyd - The Final Cut

Absolutely !!


I refer back to some 80's albums ...

Genesis - Duke
Sting - The Dream Of The Blue Turtles
Heart - Dreamboat Annie

Greatchoice. It was a big surprise when Fat Cat Records closed their store and started out putting great records like this. It reminds me a bit of My Bloody Valentine and Galaxy 500.
