Depressing, upbeat rock songs

Here's some of my favourite songs:
Muse - in your world, the small print, easily, endlessly, space dementia, do we need this, muscle museum, thoughts of a dying atheist
Radiohead - creep, jigsaw falling into place
Placebo - hold on to me, song to say goodbye

Depressing and upbeat?

If that's not a contradictory statement I don't know what is...

All very good tracks tho :cute:
Current favourite song is probably Disenchanted by My Chemical Romance! Dunno if that's what you're after, but still :smile:
Depressing upbeat... Hmm

The only artist I can think of who really made upbeat but depressing songs is Morrissey.



If that's not depressing, I don't know what is.

Basically anything by the Smiths or Morrissey.
Morrissey my personal favourite is "Suedehead"

Why do people always call Pure Morning "A friend in need"? It's not even in the chorus :rofl:
