the headline says "depressing", but the report suggests they really meant "sad", as in most likely to move the listener to tears.

the complete survey list is shown in the article - are they truly the songs that most move you to tears? or are they just depressing?

What would get your vote?

But I don't find it depressing in the slightest!

Was it the Smiths who sang Heaven knows I'm miserable now?

4getmenot: I first heard the song 'If Heaven Was Needing A Hero' on the American show Extreme Makeover Home Edition and loved it but it's a very sad song and still gets me now and I've heard it so many times!

By the way, I'm Scrummy Yummy, not Scrummy Mummy! I wouldn't be so narcistic as to describe myself as a scrummy mummy! When I made the name up, I was thinking of food, hence yummy scrummy but decided to reverse it. I would hate you ABers to think I loved myself!

You"ll have to go some to match..Happy Tom!

I have been down lately, but love everybody hurts-its true to life, I hate 'I will always love you' that one will always be painful...

[4getmenot]

lol I think I called you that on another thread too. Can I just call you scrummy? lol

[scrummyyummy]

Of course you can, 4getmenot! I'm still blushing to think people might think I was so vain to call myself a 'scrummy mummy'! I think I've also been called 'yummy mummy' by mistake! I can assure you I am not a yummy mummy! Lol!
