*I'm going taking the song challenge to mean "of all time," not genre-specific. Any of these songs are subject to change at any time.
No contest. A song that makes me sad is "Everybody Hurts" by REM. I know it's a song about holding on, it's supposed to be uplifting, but I think it's sad — so much so that I can't listen to it anymore.
But that is the best live version you'll see of the song.
