Song and Albums to play when you're depressed

when i was 8 or so, "delta dawn" by helen reddy did it for me... big-time...

John Dahlback 'Out There'

asleep by the smiths
videotape by radiohead (this one literally makes me just curl up on the floor sometimes)
winter by joshua radin
miss misery by elliott smith

This song is as far down that road I can go- and I like it because it helps me do what I instinctively want to do which is get back up:

If it's heartbreak (i.e. You like someone who doesnt like you back) I'd go with Taylor Swift Speak Now album. Also You Belong With Me By Taylor Swift.
Also, Written in the Stars by Tinie Tempah and I Need a Doctor by Dr Dre feat Eminem and Skylar Gray.
Hope this helped. Im kinda going through the same thing now. Good luck with whatever it is your dealing with.
