I find melancholia to be the most depressing overall theme in music.
Some particularly depressing tracks:

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

Porcupine Tree - The Sky Moves Sideways
Anathema - The Silent Enigma
Katatonia - Discouraged Ones
King Crimson - Island
Anathema - Judgement
SMART preachers of our doom
Telling us there is no room.
Not enough for all mankind
And the seas of time are running dry.

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.
Four pails of water and a bagfull of salts

And Tormato, for entirely different reasons.
