Ummm... AFI. Most of the stuff from Sing the Sorrow (before you say anything, they are NOT emo...although there are similarities...).

Bruce Dickinson - Tears of the Dragon.

Don't know whether it's meant to be sad or not - but it feels like it.

Guns N' Roses - Don't Cry (both versions)

KISS - Beth

"Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails is the most depressing song I've ever heard. Ever.

Not heard the original, but Cash's cover was immense.

"I Will Follow You Into the Dark" by Death Cab for Cutie. That one comes to mind immediately, at least.

"Comfortably Numb"

"The Final Cut"

"Wish You Were Here"

"Time"

All by Pink Floyd... I'm not sure if they are "rock" though. I'm not really sure what genre of music they are.

Some songs I usually play when I'm sad or just had a shitty day, that I can remember anyways (scrolling down my WinAmp playlist):

Audioslave - Doesn't Remind Me.

Bad Religion - Boot Stamping On A Human Face.

Bad Religion - Sorrow.

Bad Religion - To Another Abyss.

Blur - Out Of Time.

Breaking Benjamin - Rain.

Chris Cornell - Black Hole Sun (it was an acoustic version he did by himself). The original version is just as sad.

CKY - Close Yet Far.

CKY - The Way You Lived.

Cold - Anatomy Of A Tidal Wave.

Cold - Cure My Tragedy (A Letter To God). Infact, almost any Cold song.

Craig's Brother - Lost At Sea.

Craig's Brother - Lullaby. Again, a lot of Craig's Brother's songs are pretty sad.

Disturbed - Numb.

Drowning Pool - Tear Away.

Flogging Molly - Another Bag Of Bricks.

Flogging Molly - Factory Girls.

Flogging Molly - The Worst Day Since Yesterday.

Flogging Molly - These Exiled Years.

Flogging Molly - Whistles The Wind.

Foo Fighters - Walking After You.

Gob - Fed Up.

Godsmack - Touché.

Gogol Bordello - God-like.

A lot of the new Green Day stuff. Are We The Waiting, Wake Me Up When September Ends, Give Me Novocaine, etc. So I'll do the older ones.

Green Day - J.A.R.

Green Day - Misery.

Green Day - Redundant.

Green Day - Rotting.

Green Day - Waiting.

Lots of Guns 'n' Roses. 14 Years, Ain't It Fun, Civil War, Don't Cry (both versions), Estranged, Knockin' On Heaven's Door, November Rain, Since I Don't Have You, You Ain't The First, You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory, probably more.

Hundred Reasons - Avalanche.

Interpol have tons of good sad songs. Can't be bothered listing.

In fact, if I keep going at this rate I'll be celebrating new year before I actually post. I'll stop here, but those are some very good 'sad' songs.

Many are not particularly sad songs themselves, but they tend to make me sadder. And Flogging Molly have tons of happy songs, so I couldn't just list them as a band to look into like Cold and Craig's Brother. Same can be said for GnR and Green Day and such. I should probably note Staind, since they're probably my favourite despression trip.

And yes, Johnny Cash's 'Hurt' wins. I love watching the new Nike adverts purely because that's the song for them.
