The saddest song all-times is Spirit Slips Away with Thin Lizzy (1975).
Absolutely no hope, just sorrow, blackness.

Not really. The title indicates that it's sad. The lyric however goes: "Now you're sad, sad, sad, but you're gonna be fine". The music doesn't really screams "SAD" either.

I had to laugh very loud, as I read "Sad Sad Sad". I think, it was ironic, right 'come on'?

Oh how could I have forgetten "He Stopped Loving Her Today?"

What about "Coming back to me" by Jefferson Airplane?

Ride On - ACDC

This list needs more Dylan.

I sadly submit the following:

It Ain't Me Babe
It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
Don't Think Twice It's Alright

Come to think of it, I'm pretty upset right now. It hasn't been a good past few days...

"It Makes No Difference", The Band from "The Last Waltz." Rick Danko's heartrending vocal performance on this gets me everytime I hear it.

Guitar (capo 3rd fret)

C g/b
It makes no diffrence where I turn
Em g/d am7
I cant get over you and the flame still burns
C g/b
It makes no diffrence, night or day
Em g/d am7
The shadow never seems to fade away

Am7/d g em7 c d g c
And the sun dont shine anymore
G em7 c d g c g
And the rains fall down on my door

G
Now theres no love
Dm
As true as the love
C a7
That dies untold
G em7 c d g c g
But the clouds never hung so low before

It makes no diffrence how far I go
Like a scar the hurt will always show
It makes no diffrence who I meet
Theyre just a face in the crowd
On a dead-end street
And the sun dont shine anymore
And the rains fall down on my door

These old love letters
Well, I just cant keep
cause like the gambler says
Read em and weep
And the dawn dont rescue me no more

D bm
Without your love Im nothing at all
C cm
Like an empty hall its a lonely fall
D bm
Since youve gone its a losing battle
C
Stampeding cattle
Am d
They rattle the walls

And the sun dont shine anymore
And the rains fall down on my door

Well, I love you so much
Its all I can do
Just to keep myself from telling you
That I never felt so alone before
