I'm looking to songs to listen to when i'm feeling sad or simply unhappy, not to cheer me up but just to wallow in a sea of sorrow.
So far I've got:
Lacuna Coil - Falling
Portishead - Roads
Evanescence - Missing
PS: 'Epic' vocals a huge plus(Tearjerking also welcome), Pandora not an option.

I'd love to be the one disappoint you when I don't fall down

I Hung My Head - Johnny Cash
Steam | Live
Electronic composer for hire.
Day Old Hate - City and Colour (Really, all of his stuff is great. He sings songs about being sad.)
3 Libras - A Perfect Circle
I'm only 21 and both artists just dont work for me =(
The first wasn't quite what i'm looking for, the 2nd wasn't bad even though it was a Lennon cover
i liked the lyrics but it felt too cheery
cool lyrics, too cheery/upbeat
Not bad at all, any in perticular you could point out?
Iris gave me fucking chills, what a gem. I can't believe i forgot about it, it reminded me of Chris Isaak - Wicked Game which I will pick up as well.
Day old hate is excellent, i'll check out more of their stuff later on.
3 Libras is pretty good
great suggestions Alpine, thumbs up.
I could definately use more though =D
The River - Bruce Springsteen
Hurt - NIN
The Freshmen - The Verve Pipe
Other stuff
Tried of Being Alive - Danzig
The Crystal Ship - The Doors
Stuff by the band HIM?
Tuesday's Gone and Was I Right or Wrong - Lynyrd Skynrd
Blackeye - Millencolin
I Could Have Lied - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Moonlight Mile - The Rolling Stones
The Cure - Non-Prophets
Suicidal Dream - Silverchair
Creep - Stone Temple Pilots
Behind Blue Eyes - The Who (maybe not so much)
I Forgot to Be Your Lover - William Bell

Also a vaguely out-there song "The Pod" by Hum which is basically about making a suicide machine for two on a rainy afternoon.
In this river- BLS
Close to the Flame- HIM
To bid you Farewell- Opeth
Planet Caravan- Pantera/Black Sabbath
Somebody else mentioned Creep by the Stone Temple pilots, so I'll throw in Creep by Radiohead.
Perhaps Jeremy, by Pearl Jam?
You could check out the Nirvana Unplugged in New York album- pretty much the whole thing, but Where Did You Sleep Last Night in particular is good. If you're not a fan of Nirvana, it's an older song, so look up another recording.
At the risk of sounding like a weepy young girl about to write some poetry on myspace, I'll suggest The Dresden Dolls- check out The Jeep Song or Half Jack.
Perhaps some David Gray- Hold On to Nothing.
Ooooh, almost forgot Ben Folds: Fred Jones Part 2, Mess, maybe Carrying Cathy... there's a lot there.
When you're done feeling melancholy, look up the Diskettes- I don't really care (about anything else) and Get Together. These are the most ridiculously happy songs I know.
And being 21 is no excuse for not liking The Beatles or Johnny Cash. Not saying you have to like them, but I take offense on behalf of all 21 year olds.
The entire "endserenading" album by Mineral. If you can find it.
Just what they told me- Treble Charger
Funny- Treble Charger
Only god knows why-Seger/Kid Rock

Down in a Hole- Alice in Chains
Legend- Bob Marley
Thank You- Hellyeah
Down Again- Chimaria
Through the Valley of Shadow of death- The Tossers
NOthings the Same- Black Label soceity
Sick of it all- BLS/ Finger Eleven
