Interesting list (I agree wholeheartedly with their choices of “Brick” and “Hallelujah”) but my vote would go to Robert Cray’s “I’ve Slipped Her Mind.”
I’m not sure if Shilo is any more sad than, say, America. Though I was heartened as a child when I found that not only was it acceptable to have an imaginary friends, but that the Jewish King of Rock had one, too.
A list of sad songs without Hank Williams is not a list!
Nothing by Elliott Smith?
OR NICK DRAKE?!
Elliott Smith deserves a place on that list. He stabbed himself in the heart, for pete’s sake!
