At the end of the article on depressing songs, the Post-Dispatch invited readers to make their own nominations. Now, I don't know whether these songs are mentioned in the book, but they certainly did not appear in the original article. Here are the top three reader-nominees:
Alone Again Naturally, Gilbert O'Sullivan. Yes! This is the absolute epitome of depressing songs, junior class.
Cat's in the Cradle, Harry Chapin. And this one's top-of-the-charts in the senior class.
Downbound Train, Bruce Springsteen. On the money again (although the songs from his 9/11 album, especially "My City's In Ruins", hit me harder - so hard that I made only one attempt to listen to the album, and shut it off after about three songs).
It's almost enough to make me believe in this "democracy" thing...
