Does Anyone Remember Any Great Songs ala Cure, Smiths, Primitives, 10000 Maniacs?

I'm trying to spruce up my iPod with some depressing goth alt music or what ever it would be called now. Help. Any suggestions? What other songs/bands were great back then (when I was ten, heh).

I am a big fan of Depeche Mode if you are looking for some depressing goth techno-ish stuff.

Yes, Depeche Mode, "Somebody." Damn that is a sad song. Last lines kill me. . .

Jim Carroll's "Those are people who died" is good. (side note, I was actually burning his cd to my ipod when I found out he died.)

For happy stuff. . ."Kiss me on the buss," Replacements"
It's a Dean Man's Party, "Oingo Bongo"

Joy Division, Love Will Tear Us Apart

Very depressing. Ian Curtis killed himself and rumour has it that he did it by wrapping is neck in piano wire whilst standing on a block of ice.

I already PP'd about This Mortal Coil. I just remembered the name of the particular song that is guaranteed to take you down.

Song to the Siren

Soul Asylum, "Black Gold." Curiously uplifting guitar riffs but utterly despondent lyrics.

Replacements, "Here Comes a Regular."
Replacements, "Unsatisfied."

god, I'm getting depressed just humming these to myself

moving back to the techno ... Psychedelic Furs, Ghost in You.

The whole album "the queen is dead" by the Smiths
Tears for Fears "The Hurting" (oh, such teen angst)
XTC 'skylarking' (particularly for the song 'Dear God', but the whole thing is awesomely 80's).

Tears for Fears Woman in Chains
Smiths Big Mouth Strikes Again
Depeche Mode Strangelove or anything off the Violator album
I second the Psychedelic Furs Ghost in You recommendation
