I find Radiohead Kid A et seq to be particularly bleak, although I do enjoy them.

My top 5 depressing prog songs : 1-Mommy Leave The Light On -The Flower Kings. Not exactly a depressing band but that song is just too much. 2-The great escape/ The last of you/ Falling from the moon- Mariliion. Maybe for personal causes because when Brave came out I was breaking up 3-Exit music (for a film)-Radiohead. Musically i would say the most depressing one.That final line is desperate. 4-Playboy mommy- Tori Amos. A very dark album.I am not one to cry at songs, but that one comes close 5-Autumn-Peter Hammill. Most of the "over"album would qualify.

Also, Lightbulb Sun can be pretty depressing at times.
